A letter from Dec 17, 2024

Dear FutureMe, The semester is coming to an end, It has been a pretty stressful semester. First of all, because you did not even want to spend another semester at that college, you wanted to transfer and finally be on the career path for dentistry. You were not able to transfer due to not being informed enough. This semester you took only four classes, they were not difficult but since they all were writing classes the among of work and papers was a pain in the ***. This semester you took Introduction to Philosophy, World Humanities, Anthropology: Archaeology, and Astronomy...What a weird combination of classes, I know. I'm positive I will get an A in most of my classes, but tell me how did you do on your phil exam? Was it easy? Or did you stress yourself to the point of feeling like you want to vomit (again)? Enough of this! For next semester, I am indecisive about spending another semester at that college or taking a semester off...However I am afraid that taking a semester off will impact my financial Aid, so I'll stay another semester and transfer for the fall semester of 2025. You were so stressed this semester that you forgot to make your spring semester schedule, silly you...now most of the classes are full and the ones that are left are either at 8 am or past 6 pm. This semester was not so bad at all, I got to meet new people, relied more on myself, and was more organized with my work. I hope that you are more on top of deadlines next semester, ask for help when you need it, and don't be afraid to reach out or talk to people first. Also, tell me about how your spring semester went. Were you able to transfer this time? How is this new school? have you made any new friends? were classes hard? Did anything of your Vision Board come true? OMG...I know I'm asking so many questions but I'm just afraid for the future. I hope you learn to not be so harsh on yourself, show some love, and give yourself a pat on the back, you have gone through a lot. With love, your past self.
