A Letter Of Hope For My Future Self

Dear me,

You, my future self, is my inspiration. I know that you are one fabulous person, both inside the courtroom and in your home. But as of now, at age 20, I am overworked, underpaid and stressed to the max. The only thing keeping me from going insane from all the stress is thinking about how grand my future might be. Because of right now, I am working my butt off to shape the future me into an amazing one.

So, all in all, this is a letter full of hope, all of my hopes for myself and my future.

So, Courtney,

I hope all is well with you.

I hope you are healthy and still capable of anything you set your mind too.

I hope you are strong willed and not strong hearted.

I hope over the years you have learned to forgive. Not only forgive others but also how to forgive yourself.

I hope you are still fueled by passion.

I hope you get to come home each night and cuddle with the love of your life and your pet piglet named porkchop.

I hope you are genuinely happy.

I hope that all the stress and all the work I am putting in now really does end up paying off for you.

I hope you achieve all of your goals.

And if you do happen to fail I hope you learn from your failures, I hope you learn to be proud of them. Learn to flaunt them. But under NO circumstances, please do not wallow in your failures.

I hope you learn to love yourself.

I hope you get to travel as much as you like because I know being diverse is important to you.

I hope you have become more knowledgeable on all the subjects that matter to you.... and even some subjects that don't.

I hope you are taking care of yourself. I hope you are getting manis and pedis and massages regularly. And for goodness sake, wear your retainer. You paid a lot of money for those teeth. Get your hair done regularly because I know how you always feel brand new after a new hairdo.

I hope you are surrounding yourself with people that share the same goals as you do, because as you know all too well, people who don't believe in your abilities drain you completely.

I know I have high hopes, but let's be honest I've always had high hopes. Well anyway, I hope all is well up there in the future. I hope you are getting along with the robots and meeting new friends from Mars. Just remember that as long as you make a life that you are proud of and are happy in, that's all that really matters. And don't ever forget that while work is important please make time to do the things you enjoy.

With love,

Me.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
