A letter from April 6th, 2021

Time Travelled — about 3 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I'm writing this as of the sixth of April of 2021, with the delivery date being in 3 years, when I'll, hopefully, be in university. Right now, the future is something that highly worries me and makes me anxious. I have been looking for universities to attend yet none captivates me like Coimbra. It's highly renowed and it has the major which i want, history. Am I still pursuing my dreams of becoming a history teacher? Did I end up getting into History or even Coimbra? I'm really worried about starting the internship and also taking the PAP and the exams :/ You probably don't recall it, but at this point I've lost hours upon hours of sleep thinking about my future and worrying about failure. If we did get into university, how have you been handling it, finantially wise? I know that money, wether it's tuition or the cost of living in another city is always a big worry and stuff can get difficult. Knowing myself I'm probably freaking out, if it's the case. On another note, have you been keeping contact with your friends? Catarina, Raquel, Ribeiro? How have they been, message them, tell them you miss them. Right now we have the strongest bond ever. Even with this whole pandemic going on, we still find a way to spend time together and everyone has been really supportive. Hopefully we made some new friends in university! Let's talk boys... or girls! How have you been on the process of discovering yourself? Right now I don't label myself, and am super happy with it. I don't like the fact that society implements labels and wants us to fit in them. I'm way better not labeling my *********! Back to lovelife. Got anyone special? I'm going to give you a quick recap of what's going on right now. There's two boys that simultaneously like me, and yet I like none of them. Oh well, it is what it is! I hope you found your significant other or at least have had someone by now! One last thing before I end this quick letter, what are your interests right now? Do you still like One Direction? I am currently enjoying the minecraft server DreamSMP, do you still watch it or any of the youtubers/streamers involved? If not, please check up on them. Here's a list of people I would love you to check: Tommyinnit, Ranboo, WilburSoot, Nihachu, Technoblade and Tubbo. Are you still on stan twitter? Do you even remeber any of this? Of the nights you stayed up watching streams, lore or not, MCC's, Jackbox streams? Do you remeber Sad-Ist? Alliumtwt? I really hope we don't let go of this because right now it's one of the things that bring me joy! And did you get that ADHD test? I'm planning on taking it, since I have my own suspicions. I'm going to wrap this letter up by asking you to please write another letter for your future self. The website is futureme.org, in case you forget! I hope I was able to achieve my main goals :] Sincerely, 16 year old Juliana. P.S.: I'm going to set the delivery date of this letter as Tommy's birthday, go wish him a happy day!

Dear 16-Year-Old-Me,

Wow, it's really weird writing that, I completely forgot about this specific letter's existence (although I still use this website), and it was absolutely shocking receiving this email...
