A letter from Dec 18, 2024

Dear FutureMe, Your ATAR comes out today/tomorrow. It’s 12:17am so you still need to go to bed. Hope it went well. Did you do the UCAT? I hope you did even if it sucked and it was $325 down the drain again. What are you studying? Majors, subjects. Hope everything is ok and going well. Work hard but remember to rest and take full advantage of the mental health services offered at whatever uni you’re at. right now you’ve just started all quiet on the western front (good book? you tell me) and are on a ft with syl. she’s asleep as usual. don’t forget to stay in contact with her and all your other friends! i know this year was busy but it’s vital that you’ve maintained and put efforts towards these friendships. if you haven’t, it’s never too late. so how’s life. have you figured out how to go out late and drink yet without your parents getting over protective. have you had a fun nightlife? gotten drunk? made new friends? first kiss? first other things and relationships? are classes more fun, have you been active because you should be!! how are the volunteer programs you just signed up for. and jobs! hope tutoring and ooshc is going well and your rolling in bank. well christmas is a week away. grandpa leaves in less than a month i hope you’ve been calling him. are you living in a new place? make sure you’ve got a good savings account and put part of your salary into it. dont forget you need to pay off hecs. a lot is gonna change in a year even though i lowkey wish it doesn’t but wishing is pointless as they’re gonna change anyways. hope it’s a good change though and you’re happy and maybe have some more experiences and things more figured out than you do right now. also this is your last teenage year!!! have funnn and love yourself and those around you. get out more and socialise and don’t forget about the want to do list. find a hobby.
