A letter from April 4th, 2015

Time Travelled — almost 1 year

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Aleks, I really hope you're doing ok. Right this moment you are scared to *****. You graduate in 2 months and you're not so sure how things are going to go. You're not even sure what you want to do exactly. Right now you're thinking about eCommerce, is that what you're doing right now? Are you doing anything jewelry related? Do you FINALLY HAVE A COCKATIEL? Oh god, don't disappoint me with a "no"! Are you living with Mario? Are you 2 happy together? Has he let you have some pink furniture in your place? If not, go punch him. Go punch him in the face. Unless you're not with him... Pffffft as if. [awkward if I'm wrong, sorry mate] So yeah summarazied questions: 1) Good job? 2) progress on your loans? 3) any pets? what do you have if so? 4) pink furniture? 5) long hair or is it still ******* short? i cut it 3 months ago and it's STILL THE SAME LENGTH. DON'T CUT IT SHORT EVER AGAIN. 6) call mama and papa, you never freaking call them. DO IT NOW, NOT LATER. I know you, you little ****. You're gonna be like "oh yeah I'll do it later" yeah. 4 WEEKS LATER. 7) Are you happy? I know big question, but are you more happy than sad? 8) lolita. still doing it? I'd make this WAY longer, but Mario needs to be signed in. We're doing that annual egg hunt in the dorm and baking cookies! Love you Aleks. Please take care.
