A letter from August 16th, 2016

Dear Me, Hey!!! You might be surprise when you get this email. I always have this thought of what and where will I be ten years from now. Well I recently found out about this website that you can write email to yourself in the future so I did. What's news? You must be 31 by now, man you must feel old! You were 21 years old when you wrote this ... yeah seem like a long time, isn't it? How is life? How is everyone? Mom, dad, J'Cheng, P'Jek, and 3Ps. Are you still single or already married? If you already married, how did you meet her? I bet she is a fine lady because you seem to wait for the right one. I know you were talking to Bradley girl for awhile. I bet most of your friends already married and have kids. If you do, you do, if you don't, you don't ... just live with it. How is job going for you? You were stressed out on job at one point ... don't know what to do and where to go. Hope by this time you have job security and enjoy what you are doing. Did you end up getting MBA? The only reason you went for QEM at SIU was hoping to save MBA for later. It may not be your fit, but I hope that it helped you achieving your goal. I know I wrote an email to myself the day before graduation because I wrote it on the same day, but I think now you have a better sense of where your life is going and how your decisions impact your life now. Reach out to your college friends - Tim F. - Anthony S. - Stan G. - Umair S. - Meagan J. - Justin S. - Eric H. - Cody G. I don't know if you still talk to any of them or if Facebook is still relevant at that point. Should be a decent conversation if you haven't talked to them in awhile. Anything else do I want to cover before sending this out ten years from now? Oh ... where do you end up? You want to stay in the US for awhile while you were in college. Have you travel the world much? You already 31 and not gonna get any younger. Don it while you can, go enjoy life and have fun. Do it now before you regret it later on in life because you don't have to play what if game with yourself. BTW I send you a picture with CoB's brochure with your picture on it. They used your pictures left and right like you were a celebrity. Picture was taken when you lived at the Quads in case you don't remember. Hope you enjoy reading this email. Don't think about it too much ... 21 years old me had nothing to do a week before grad school start so I decided to write an email to myself ten years from now. ME
