Freshman Me,

Well, you've just moved in, welcome to college. A little scary isn't it? You don't know anyone and you're a little way from home. Oh yeah, that girl your cousin tried to introduce you, that was your future wife asshole...way to make a good first impression. They weren't kidding on your visit, you'll meet your wife here. You won't have a roommate for a couple days but, he's a good guy.

You may not know anyone right now, but you're going to meet some great people. By the way, take a good look around your hall, most of those guys are transferring or dropping out after this semester. And way to lie to everyone, you're homesick as hell but don't worry, you'll get over it in a couple days. You're going to learn a lot about yourself these next couple of years. You'll make the football team here, but you'll hate every minute of it. You'll meet a coach that'll ruin your love of the game. You're going to have some tough classes, you'll pull through, you'll fail one but this is college, classes are way harder. You'll type more papers than you've ever thought, one project over 70 pages. You'll pull a lot of all-nighters on papers as well. You won't lose any friends from home, well the real ones anyway. Oh almost forgot, you'll finally get over that fear of public speaking. And that gym across the parking lot is gonna be your stress reliever. Use it often, you'll definitely need it. Oh and back to that girl your cousin tried to introduce you to, you won't officially meet her until your sophomore year. Trust me, she's the girl you've always wanted and it is worth the wait. But welcome to college man. It's gonna be the most stressful/fun time of your life. Enjoy it.

Sincerely,

Senior You
