A letter from Jun 16th, 2021

Peaceful right?

Dear Me, Here I am, sitting in a little room on campus after finishing my thesis defense. I'm officially done with college. This feels so weird. I'm writing you this letter so you remember the euphoria you felt right after you were done. The feeling of accomplishment. You did so well my dude. And you deserve everything good that happened today. An 8 for research and a 9 for the lab work. That's insane. I'm very proud of you right now. I don't know what you're doing right now. Probably finishing up your masters if you actually ended up doing that. You got this man. Or if you're always done. YOU MF DID IT MAN. I'm proud of you. We worked hard for this. We came a long way from the 12 year old Egyptian girl that was slowly navigating her way through her new Dutch society. We survived countless ruthless teachers that tried to convince us that we were no good. Well, look at us now. We're here to help this world just a little bit more. I hope you found something you wanted to do, whether that's continuing your research or becoming a college professor. You got this. You can do anything you set your mind to. I love you. Love always, Your newly college graduated self :)
