Epilogue

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Hey girl... did you graduate? That sounds like a stupid question as I type it out, but so many crazy things have been happening recently that I'm not sure what the future might hold. In case you've forgotten: 2020 where I am writing from was the year of the Corona virus. I am currently two months ish into quarantine at Mamas house. So, did I make it? Did we graduate? Hows that GPA looking? Right now I am thinking about law school. I don't know what else to do with my life or what else to do with a polisci degree, so it seems like an easy step to push off having to join the real world for a few more years. If you're not going to law school, did you find something else that made being an actual adult any less terrifying? Are we going to grad school for some other degree???? Do you at least have some sort of plan for the future?? If not! You better work on it! For the love of God tell me you've had an actual at least semi long term boyfriend. Because I swear to God if I made it all the way to graduation still single I. Will. Riot! If you haven't.... I guess that's fine. I'll just have to start investing in some more vibrators... yikes. Let's hope I didn't decided to read this letter out loud to a group of kindergartners for the first time... Are you happy? I think I am happy now. While quarantine sucks, it is nice to spend time with the fam (Mama, Randy, Sam, Henry, Jim, Corey, and sometimes Greta and Shawn. Papa is living 5 hours away now, so we haven't seen him much). What do you care about now? I'm not sure what I care about right now. I care about other people thinking that I have my life together. Do any of our friends have kids/are they married yet? My money is on Corey. He's already talking about wanting kids. 22 is still too young in my opinion... but that's none of my business. Little update on the world in 2020: Trump is president and will most likely to re-elected for a 2nd term because the Democrats can't get their act together and choose a good candidate. Corona screwed over the world and we are trying to get out of lockdown right now, but I predict a second wave because so far Americans have done a terrible job following social distancing guidelines. Weed is not legal nation wide, but in a few weeks Virginia should decriminalize it. 2022 really isn't that far away, I don't know why I'm acting like you'll have forgotten all of this... Sam is dating Shawn, Henry is dating Greta. You are single and haven't had *** in over a year. Grandpa is still alive. The world hasn't ended yet. You want to go to law school. You want more tattoos (have you added to your sleeve yet? Do you even have a sleeve? Are you mad at yourself for any tattoos? Have you decided tattoos suck and you regret them?). Right now you are obsessively listening to Harry Styles because you like to obsess over things when you feel like you have little control over your life. What are you obsessed with now? I hope you say nothing because that means you must have your life together. I hope you are not disappointed by this letter. I've got to go and make quarantine cookies with everyone! Much love, Yourself from two years ago
