A letter from May 15th, 2021

Dear Abigail, Hey girl. First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you're having a great day because you deserve it, girl! You're so close to the end of your undergraduate year! I knew you would eventually get there, and I am so, so proud of you for it. You might be in the middle of finals, but I pray you do well. I actually just opened up my FutureMe letter from last April. It's crazy how things you once thought were important don't even matter anymore. I just had a cute picnic to celebrate with my friends today! My friend group right now is Ava Pezzimenti, Sophie Keeley, Kyra Persson, Maddie + Vivian Borusso, and Ava Cusano (she's a new one)! GUAVAS has expanded, but I would say for the better. I'm so thankful for them. I am in the cusp of my senior year- senior pictures, prom, graduation. Right now, I am committed to WPI for a bio-tech major on the premed track with LECOM. I want to be a doctor so badly! I have a roommate and potential friends! My life is happy. I just have my AP Bio test in a couple days (haven't studied) but senioritis has kept me chill. A couple questions I have: Who are my friends at WPI? Do I stay friends with my current ones? If you aren't, BE. Reach out to them RIGHT NOW for me. Especially Guavas, they are real friends. Am I still on the pre-med track with LECOM? Who did I room with in later years? Do I go to parties/get a boyfriend? Am I in a sorority? What church do you go to? How is your relationship with Jonathan? Are you happy with your life right now? I know when you read this you are going to be so much more mature and smart. This writing will sound dumb, but as I'm writing it right now, I'm writing it with my whole heart, and our hearts are still the same, so I hope you will take me seriously when I say that I think our future is bright and I am so proud of wherever you got to in life because I know it will be amazing. I know you have the brains and spirit to get wherever you need to. I hope you are feeling satisfied with yourself. Please stay in close touch with your family and friends. Pray continually to God- He will bring you farther than you could ever imagine. 22, huh? I'm so proud. Enjoy the end of senior year, girl, you did it! Look behind- you've had a good life, hopefully full of love and laughter. Look ahead- I see a bright future, whatever that may be. Love, Abigail (from the past)
