Oh, God. Life.

Dear FutureMe, Hi, Me. SO. You're graduating soon and you're about to go on into the "real world". How freaking scared are you right now? I hope you're scared because then it would mean that you have something substantial to look forward to. Here's what's been happening: 1. You're freaking out about finals. 2. Mainly, that. Here's what I hope for you as you read this: 1. HAPPINESS. Oh...

When you receive this you will be 27

Dear FutureMe, Right now I am you, but a younger you, a better looking you, I have not yet been ravaged by the passing years. Fortunately you probably have money to make up for what you are lacking in virility and youthful exuberance. Don't worry I hear they have medication for that kind of thing, though you probably already know that. By the way you should be independantly wealthy by no...

Did you make it?

I've been in school a long time. Going straight from undergraduate to a masters and now working on a PhD! What was I thinking (wish I could e-mail past-self and ask...). So much research, so much time spent in front of a computer (a lot of it surfing silly, pointless websites), so many late hours in the lab. My advisor says I should finish in just over a year from now. Can't imagine that's...

dear future me...

Dear FutureMe, Today you went on a long walk at lunch, on the first truly sunny and warm day of Spring.

re: college

I figured I'd send this to you/myself before I/you went off to college because most likely I will have a different email address for my college address and won't check this yahoo one anymore, and I really want myself/you to get this. :) So let's see. I'm fifteen. It's March 16th at 12:03 PM, in the afternoon. I've stayed home sick. I'm in Bologna Italy, just wanting to get out and get back to ...

Memories

Dear Tiffany, Two weeks ago to this day, I told you, the girl I loved for God knows how long, my affections for you. I remember the moment when all hope was lost. As I lay passed out but awake, I heard your phone ring. From the way you talked, I knew you were talking to her boyfriend. You talked and talked and I just laid there, unable to tune it out, unable to ignore it. From the way you sa...

You are a dipshit...

Dear FutureMe, Well, you thought it would be cool to do this. Well, hopefully your life is better than what it is today. You were about 10k in debt and your love life sucked. You loser. :) You better have yourself a hot piece of ass by now and maybe another rugrat or two. And get Jake a friend if you haven't already. Also, you better be out of that house you are in now, or at l...
