A Letter to my Freshman Self


Dear Freshman Self, 



Don't focus on maintaining those high school friendships too much.

No one can take your education away from you.

Don't waste hours every morning doing your hair and makeup.

You looked awesome!

And he's worth waiting for-I promise!

Don't do things or go places to try to impress people.

Your future self turns out pretty much okay ;)

Your Senior Self


Two schools later and I'm almost done ;)


Until next time. . . 



  1. This is great post and so true.

  2. Girl...this is exactly what I need to hear today! As someone who is a little older (I'm 30 - so I was a freshman 12 years ago!) but not a whole lot wiser in a lot of ways, this definitely spoke to me, especially the part about an education never leaving you. I'm working on my PhD right now, and writing my dissertation is not always fun, but it will be worth it in the end! Great stuff!

    1. Congratulations on working toward your PhD! That is a huge accomplishment :)

      xoxo, SS

  3. I've been there and trust me it'll be worth it in the end, you will be so proud of yourself :) All you've accomplished is admirable!

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words! You're so sweet!

      xoxo, SS

    1. Aw, thanks girl! I appreciate you stopping by :)

      xoxo, SS

  5. Aw this is so cute! Congrats and good luck! All your hard work has paid off!
