Dear Spring Semester Self,

You did it! You survived your first semester of college. I really don't know how fall semester is coming to a close and winter break is approaching, but somehow we are here. After a few months of college, I think I have come up with a few things that you should do during next semester.

1. Eat better.

Force yourself. Every time you find yourself in the dining hall, you end up with pizza on your plate. Maybe eat a salad.

2. Stop spending money.

How did you spend over $100 on uber's in the past month? Why can't you stop online shopping? Stop spending money on things you don't need, your bank account will thank you.

3. Go to the gym.

You have walked past the gym at least a thousand times...try going inside at least once.

4. Study more.

I know you study a lot for you, but you could do it more often. That's the whole point of college...study, write papers, and take exams, so try a little harder.

5. Have fun.

Even though the whole point of college is to study, write papers, and take exams...you are still allowed to have a little fun. Go out more and worry less. Have some fun!

6. Appreciate the little things.

There are so many things that you take for granted every day. Enjoy those days where you can sleep a little extra, hang out with your friends, and do whatever you want. College won't last forever, so enjoy the little things while you can!

I know you can do these things because I am you. Power through this next semester because before you know it, it will be over. Have fun, stay focused and enjoy yourself.

XOXO,

Fall Semester Self
