Happy graduation

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Right now I'm at the end of my fall semester of your freshman year at the U. Currently studying for an undergrad in architecture. Has that changed? I hope not, I'm really enjoying it right now. Plus, if it has, what the heck did you change to? I have literally no idea what other thing I could possibly be interested in. so whatever it is, happy graduation, at least I hope you graduated, right now I'm on track to be class of 2025. Are you going for a graduate degree? If so then I guess i technically can't wish you happy graduation until like 2027 or something. Wow. 2027 sounds so weird to say. btw if my math is correct, you'll be 22 in 2025 and 24 in 2027? ok hear me out. for your 25th birthday, you HAVE to do something like the movie "Some Like it Hot" with something along Marylin Monroe's lines "A quarter of a century, makes a girl think". i am a genius. please do this. satisfy your 18 year old self. On another note, got a boyfriend yet? Is he rich? haha. Study abroad? (i hope) maybe you met some cute European boy and are going to move or get married in Europe that would be cool. I hope you go to Florence, Italy to see the The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It looks absolutely stunning, especially in rain. anyway, happy graduation. You did it! Or are at least close to doing it. If you're close, you've got this. I believe in you. love, 2021 Lilly

Hey past me!

Wow. 2021 feels so long ago now. How much you have grown and changed from then.

To answer your questions, yes!...
