A letter from April 23rd, 2017

Time Travelled — almost 6 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Are you ever going to stop writing these letters to yourself? Every time you see them in your inbox, you cringe at what I, your younger self, has in store. Anyways, on to the usual. You haven't graduated yet; you're taking an extra year because COMPUTER SCIENCE. Everyone told you that you were super good with computers, and yet you started out with Biology. Where you get C's. Nice one. You get A's in Computer Science, so you switched, and changed the Bio to a minor. And then tacked on another minor in the form of Creative Writing. Because you are actually, certifiably insane. But hey, this time next year you'll be an insane almost-graduate, so that's something. And college hasn't been all that bad. You've met some great friends who you better **** well still be friends with, because they're awesome people and you, not hanging out with them? You must be joking. And you're still with him. At least, you'd better still be with him, considering that you love him to pieces and you've been dating him for 6 years (hopefully more than dating by the time you read this). How's progress with All Good Things Are Three going? Maybe some people will actually recognize it, since this is a public letter. Good on you for trying out something new, by the way. Anywho, if people don't recognize it, either spread the word more or finish the **** thing so you can spread the word at all. And publish that tarot deck if you haven't already! You got the email to the local games store manager in regards to selling it; if that's not divine intervention, I don't know what is. I know these letters can seem a little harsh (especially that one from high school about whether I was still drawing in college; 16 yr old us needs to chill). But remember, I'm you. So if you think I'm being harsh, take a good hard look at yourself and figure out why. Hell, maybe by the time you read this, you already have. You got this. Sincerely, well, Me aka You

Dear Past Me,

Your letter was written before things got a little...wonky during fall semester. I ended up working at...
