PAST Topsummoner 1 YEAR AGO responded to memo.

Greetings! In this time frame, you're in a really good place.

You're about a week into your first ever relationship, something that's hopefully still a thing! I'm confident it will be, but you never know. Gosh she is so great. Life makes sense, yknow.
have you... you know... done it....

Right now you're in Programming, Data Management, and Jazz Band. You're looking for a job, hopefully you got one shortly after this writing? Did you ever manage to get the money to go on Travel Club to Japan? How were Semi, Prom? Band trip? I guess you're probably in college now? Howzat?

Still in the usual living arrangements? Or have you moved into Dad's entirely? Dad got married to Charisse about a month and some ago, finally. He's finally happy. So proud. Is Chase still a dingus? Is Jake still slow? Where are Georgia and Gillian at?

Whatever happened to the Minecraft server you were doing with Riley and Justin and them?

How are your friends? Still talk to Aden I hope? Are he and Hayley still together? They're an odd couple, sometimes they seem perfect for each other, othertimes volatile. WHERE'S PATRICK?

IS HOMESTUCK OVER YET? I suspect it's probably on the homestretch, if my 10/25 2013 ending theory is correct.

Hopefully you can write music n'stuff by now.

That's about all I've got to say. Really happy right now. Stay gold.

Hello future you! Hopefully everything will be going well from here, 'til the next time you see this in 2013. So far, this year has been a pretty ok year, right? I will start you off with a few main questions that you should answer easily. How is life going for you? Are you still working at Panera, and trying your best to save money as you work? Do you still have a love/hate relationship with the job, and are the same people still working there? If not, then who has left the place, and who are the new people working there? Is Stephen still an assistant manager there? Is Mark still there? Hopefully things are good, another year around.

How was your one month trip to England? Did you enjoy it, and did you find everything to your expectations, maybe even more? Do you love it there, and do you really want to make a move there? If so, then what is the goal to moving over there? Do you still want to make it there by the end of 2013, or is it going to be another year?

Are you seeing your friends regularly, and do you still hang with Brian and the rest of the crew when you have time off of work? Is Brian in a relationship yet? How did Paris Island go for him? Did you attend his graduation in January? I hope you get to attend it! Are you still talking to Liz, and Jen as well and hanging with them when you can? Is Jen still with Rob? You two need to find a way to hang out more to get some female time.

Again, how is the money saving going? Are you putting most of it away in your savings, like you have been doing? You better be saving that money!

For now, that is all I have for you. I hope everything will go well!

The first day you wanted to start writing this was a failure to defend your Evony alliance-mate lillla from an nwo attack. You forgot that the lowest research applies, and hers is terribad.
The second day it crossed your mind to write on this, you were installing a Virtual Machine on the new computer. Problem with it was that the user account you were on, despite being labeled "Admin", didn't even have Write and Modify permissions. The actual hidden Admin account wasn't allowed to change those permissions.
So here we are nearly a week total later. If it really takes you this long to get motivated for anything, you're in trouble. That track record's been piling pretty high, and quite frankly, I'm tired of it. If you're STILL feeling tired of it upon reading this, you probably deserve to be at any low points you're at now.

So, onto happier things. Pessimism never was our strong suit, aye?

Obligatory Games of Interest
Phantasy Star Online, again: Raine is still stuck in the mines. Not for lack of ability to go through the majority of it without a kill: Jellen and Deband make an awesome combo, and getting past the traps is the worst part. The problem is Vol Opt. The spikes he drives down from the sky are too powerful for even the most defensive build I have to survive a hit. An all out offense works as well as an all out defense: both fail spectacularly.
However, despite her being stuck there, Shiva is fast to advance (to the point of rushing the Caves Forest [wtf?] and forcing you to play again the next day to find the pillar, THEN going through the mines again just to get to the ruins. Hasty!)
Evony: Yeah, it sucked you in out of curiosity. You remember seeing Age 2 back when we quit Age 1? Well, that which killed the cat took hold and we're off to test. It was pretty much the same, just a faster start and crappier system for attacking people. CALYPSO is turning out to be pretty fun, though.
Pokémon SoulSilver: The buffed Elite Four still whomps me, so at the present I'm trying to take advantage of Gym Leader phone numbers to get myself a few fights for exp. Never a not-fun game, though. :3
Team Fortress 2: I finally crafted a Brass Beast. All is good for my class' setups. ^_^

Drawing still happens, as we mentioned at the opening of the 2011 capsule. I hope Writing has come back, it was fun. D:

Odds are no new challenge has come to you on Brawl yet.

However, one curiosity comes up. Where's Adam in your time? In mine, he's up in Washington. He's slymacdj on here (with a wicked awesome sprite made for him, if I do say so myself) and, as far as I know, no news is good news about how well he's doing there. ... Heh, Shadow is still probably on just Hard mode of PSO and using Yamato, right?

Rob & Meg make it? Whit & Jon still happy? Jeff & Misty still cute together? James & Lady last the year? Adam & Tiffany working out? Definitely hope so!
Ooh, speaking of Whit and Jon! By then, the P&C pilot episode will have come out. What's the news on that? I've gotta tell you, I'm freakin' excited to see where that one may lead.

Homestuck finally finished? John planted a spoilers on Jack with spoilers Vriska spoilers and now he's looking off at PM like she's gonna kill him.
And that suddenly reminds me. Homestuck's Kickstarter apparently grossed $2,485,506. Yes, nearly two and a half million dollars. According to Hussie, that's the sixth highest earnings of all time, for a single Kickstarter. If this one comes out being anything less than Game of the Year for its year, I'll be disappointed!
On a highly similar note, Indiegogo was the host of TheOatmeal trying to build a Goddamn Tesla Museum. If you don't remember the specifics, he had to raise $850,000 so he could get a grant for an equal amount just to buy the land for the museum. He came out with $1,370,511, meaning he has $520,511 to play with for the museum. I hope these two are doing well!

Samurai Jack is apparently on the TV as I type this. I'd have never expected it to come back on. What's got your ears / eyes in the future-present, bro?

Able to sit on your hair again yet? How many debts have been squared away by now? Able to strum the Wind Waker tunes? How'd Global Mafia end up? How many more items have been added to the Kiko's List of grocery store worker don'ts? You probably won't match Skippy, but damn if it isn't fun.

Hope things are still moving upward for you, bro. You need to be higher up if you really want to help others be the same.

Well, then. How is Rexbro doing upon reading of this? Did you even remember it, you lazy ?

As of writing, you've been working at Big Lots for several weeks...how did this turn out? Still working there, or did they let you go after the season? Did Bill ever decide to take a shower? Unlikely.

What's a Rexbro gaming at? Currently, you're still half-assedly playing both RS and WoW. Nearing cata zones with Philogyny (level 77), and contemplating whether or not to buy Mists of Pandaria. Xr Rx is still a sexy beast, despite not being worked on very actively. 2255 total with 233m exp as of right now, though I highly doubt you'll still be playing in the future due to EoC. Ever finally figure out a new game to obtain and burn yourself out on rapidly? As of now, you're in a toss-up between Guild Wars 2, Mists of Pandaria, and Borderlands 2...quit being a cheap-ass and get at least one of them.

On a more personal note, how's the weight going? Still tightening up? Since you started work, you lost nearly 50 pounds, but the drop rate has slowed down considerably. Did you ever get your together enough to start working on a lovelife outside of your bromances? Unlikely, I know you. Still rocking the same bromances, for that matter? Don't lose contact with your bros, you know from past experience how much it sucks ass not having a bro to speak with. Still living in the same place? Get yourself a better hearing aid yet? Right now, it's borked all to hell, planning to call Kristen on Monday...hopefully it gets itself fixed before then.

Pretty sure this is the longest post you've ever made on RV, brah. Don't die and continue making life progress, bro. Getting a job was just step 1, don't let yourself stagnate here.

GREETINGS FUTURE JARON

I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU MAYBE

Well maybe not that many questions. The main thing I'm wondering is where you are! WHERE ARE YOU JARON. IN TWELVE MONTHS TIME YOU WILL NOT BE SITTING WHERE I AM SITTING NOW. How are things going? Well, I trust?

Also how is your webcomic going? If I were to look a year ahead right now and see that you've started Harvest Muse, I would be absolutely ecstatic. However, realistically I know the chances of that happening are like 20%, so don't feel bad because you haven't done it! We all know you've been doomed to failure in that regard. Instead, how is poor ol' Shark? Reaching ~125 comics? Did you do anything special for #100 or did it just kind of come and go?

I've been busy as usual so this message is coming down to the wire on October 14th. That's okay, though, because the majority of my posts are usually lacking in sarcasm and brimming instead with where I am now so that you can be impressed with how much can happen in one year's time. So here is what's going on right now!

Next projects at work: Finish settings page redesign, then library file management oh jeez I hope. I hope you did a good job on that. It has so much potential.

Poor Shark: #75 goes up tomorrow, which will be Prince's first appearance. Shore and Susie show up next week unless I accidentally slack off too much.
Grandma is: Not doing that well?
Decadia is: As is to be expected
Fan arts drawn: 1 if you count the Larkspur I'm doing as soon as I'm done typing this
Books left on my desk end here: 14 I think? Most of these aren't books, they're comics from SDCC 2012.
Peanuts books read: I guess 1? I haven't read it at all in the past year and I've got too many other things to read besides.
Solais: GitHub says it's at about 1,150 lines of code. I really want to get going on it again once I figure out how I want boards to be generated!

I think that's about all I've got. Hope your year went well, man, and I hope you're making the most of your time right now. It's something I've been looking forward to for quite a while.

Take care.

Posting here as a self-reminder. I'll write mine tonight, I promise hope!

Message: Hey Jackstick,

Well, once again you waited til the last minute to make this post. Will you ever learn?

Let's start with real life... right now you're studying for your second Chemistry II exam, which is on Wednesday. How did you do? You did well on the first one, please tell me you did well on this one too.

I really hope that Nissan Altima is still working. You'd like to have a job again very soon, but that could be heavily delayed if that piece of car decides to die.

Oh, and you're in the process of preparing for the biggest surgery of your life, which unfortunately requires you to be in braces AGAIN GOD DAMMIT, but only for like 6 months. How did it go? Oh God, please tell me it went well. They're going to break your face horizontally in half and grind some bone out of your upper jaw, and maybe even your lower jaw too. This sounds insanely painful. You should reconsider, call it off now! What? You already have those painful rubber spacers between your teeth, and you've already paid for braces? Well , it's too late to turn back now. At least they're gonna be white braces, you world-class winner.

How is the family? Did you find a nursing home for your father? Please tell me you did. Are you still living at home? We're planning to sell the house soon and buy a smaller home. Did that happen?

You're still studying to be a nurse, is that going well? You'll be applying for the College of Nursing a few months after you read this post. Good luck with that!

As for RV... well, Henner shitstormed his way out of here, and long story short he's no longer a member of the staff. The ownership was transferred to you, and we're in the process of "rebooting" the site, I guess. The design, which you had wanted to have complete by today, will unfortunately take a little bit longer. But it's coming together very nicely. Basically, the site's new purpose can be described as multi-interest and based on creative-content of our user base. There's about a 99% chance that this will fail, like everything at RV, but hang on to that 1%. Hang on tight, because this could be huge. Like, Digital-Complex huge.

Honestly, I can't believe that you managed to log in for the 2012 Time capsule, and read your 2011 entry. I really didn't think it would happen, and it's obvious that you were calling yourself a strange and lonely man if you managed to read last years post, so are you going to do it again? Huh?

You're still at that large retail chain you said you'd get out of. What are you doing now!? Did they give you more than a 7% payrise for 3 years hard work next year? If not, honestly, why are you still there... You can't survive on that wage anymore.

AS the anime viewing time, I don't think you updated it since you made that post, so I have no idea what you can compare it to... You're post count hasn't even gone up much, so what can i say, you have been slacking on the interwebs... Yeah that's true...

Hows the pandas? I assume you have still not played the game. Well done if so, and if not, then i don't want to know you, I refuse to believe that that is the man I will become. I hate you!

So other stuff? Hmmm... Well, you actually have an interest in someone at the moment, that go anywhere? Knowing you you did absolutely nothing about it, and then found out some time later that they now have a partner, and it's all over you for, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha.

Now, here's the best question of them all. HAVE YOU FINALLY FINISHED AND COMPLETED A DND CAMPAIGN? Has Susan finally worked out that when he rolls dice, he needs to do the math, and no just say numbers. Although yes, answering the questions "Susan, what did you roll?" with "7,5,10", is correct, it still means nothing! /sighage.

I'll leave it there. I'm still impressed you managed to time this so well. Let's see if you managed it again.

What's up, 22-year-old Chris?

These things are always really awkward to write, but they're always cool to read so I guess I can suffer through writing one again.

You're still in school obvs, which is totes rad to the max. Keep up the hard work. How'd your first year go? It's been pretty awesome so far, and I can really only see it getting awesome-er. I'm assuming the family is still the same, as is usually the case. Nothing ever really seems to change there. Oh, did Austin get married yet? If so, how was the ceremony? I have no idea how I'm gonna get there for it when it happens but I'll definitely find a way - Can't miss my bro's wedding after all. Will be the first wedding we've ever been to so that should be kinda neat. Hard to believe he of all people is getting hitched. I always figured we'd wind up getting married before he did for some reason - Probably because we're suckers for romance whereas he's just always kind of been a manwhore. Guess it's a testament to how much he's grown up??? Yeah right!

How's that social life? Still hanging with that awesome gangbunch? They are pretty great. I haven't had a group of friends like this since high school so it's pretty refreshing and kind of nostalgic, even if they're nothing like Wes and Leo and them. I won't ask you if you're dating anyone because I know you hate it when I do and then you read through this and you're like "aww man, I'm still single". ...Except you're gonna be doing that anyway since I even brought the subject up. Whoops! Ah well, maybe you'll actually be able to answer with a yes this time? It's not like you're stuck in the middle of nowhere anymore. And I mean if not that's fine too! We do enjoy our independance, after all. Women are just a chore!!!

Also I guess it's kind of obligatory to ask if Homestuck has ended yet. If it has then that's kind of sad but I'm sure it had an amazing finale. And hey, you're a year closer to that HOMESTUCK ADVENTURE GAME!!! Man I can't wait. It's gonna be so awesome oh my goodness.

...

I can't really think of anything else to ask or say aside from that I hope everything is going well. I'm sure it is, and we both know why I'm so sure of that. I won't bog this letter down with melodrama like I usually do. It's a pretty lame thing to do! And we are anything but lame. [pause for laughter] Oh yeah that reminds me, even though I was gonna avoid mentioning her in this letter for once, how's Alysa? And mainly by that I mean has she had a kid yet? God I hope not but it would be pretty hilarious if that "family curse" of hers actually came true. Hilarious from an outside perspective anyway because we both know that we would flip our lids if it happens. Not that we have any reason to but it's always the same when it comes to that girl - We just can't disconnect ourselves. She is like OUR curse. Like I said, women are a chore!!!

So yeah. I guess... see you in a year??? Just go ahead and fist bunp the mirror and that will be me. Not really but it's the closest we'll ever come to actually meeting. Even though I will be you when you read this. Weird Time , am I right?

I've been busy as usual so this message is coming down to the wire on October 14th. That's okay, though, because the majority of my posts are usually lacking in sarcasm and brimming instead with where I am now so that you can be impressed with how much can happen in one year's time. So here is what's going on right now!

Next projects at work: Finish settings page redesign, then library file management oh jeez I hope. I hope you did a good job on that. It has so much potential.
PS3 games: 17
PS3 level: 13.38 with 1016 trophies (16 platinum)
DS games: 27
3DS games: 6
Last.FM plays: 76,752 (1,470 on Black Rose / Green Sun)
Homestuck is: In the middle of A6I3
Latest Homestuck album volume: 9
WhatPulse: 27,610,000 keys, 5,405,404 clicks, 443.18 miles (Diamond has 870,000 and 190,933 respectively. Did you get a new laptop?)
Poor Shark: #75 goes up tomorrow, which will be Prince's first appearance. Shore and Susie show up next week unless I accidentally slack off too much.
Grandma is: Not doing that well?
Decadia is: As is to be expected
Fan arts drawn: 1 if you count the Larkspur I'm doing as soon as I'm done typing this
Books left on my desk end here: 14 I think? Most of these aren't books, they're comics from SDCC 2012.
Peanuts books read: I guess 1? I haven't read it at all in the past year and I've got too many other things to read besides.
Solais: GitHub says it's at about 1,150 lines of code. I really want to get going on it again once I figure out how I want boards to be generated!

I think that's about all I've got. Hope your year went well, man, and I hope you're making the most of your time right now. It's something I've been looking forward to for quite a while.

Take care.

Posting here as a self-reminder. I'll write mine tonight, I promise hope!

Okay here goes.

Message: Hey Jackstick,

Well, once again you waited til the last minute to make this post. Will you ever learn?

Let's start with real life... right now you're studying for your second Chemistry II exam, which is on Wednesday. How did you do? You did well on the first one, please tell me you did well on this one too.

I really hope that Nissan Altima is still working. You'd like to have a job again very soon, but that could be heavily delayed if that piece of car decides to die.

Oh, and you're in the process of preparing for the biggest surgery of your life, which unfortunately requires you to be in braces AGAIN GOD DAMMIT, but only for like 6 months. How did it go? Oh God, please tell me it went well. They're going to break your face horizontally in half and grind some bone out of your upper jaw, and maybe even your lower jaw too. This sounds insanely painful. You should reconsider, call it off now! What? You already have those painful rubber spacers between your teeth, and you've already paid for braces? Well , it's too late to turn back now. At least they're gonna be white braces, you world-class winner.

How is the family? Did you find a nursing home for your father? Please tell me you did. Are you still living at home? We're planning to sell the house soon and buy a smaller home. Did that happen?

You're still studying to be a nurse, is that going well? You'll be applying for the College of Nursing a few months after you read this post. Good luck with that!

As for RV... well, Henner shitstormed his way out of here, and long story short he's no longer a member of the staff. The ownership was transferred to you, and we're in the process of "rebooting" the site, I guess. The design, which you had wanted to have complete by today, will unfortunately take a little bit longer. But it's coming together very nicely. Basically, the site's new purpose can be described as multi-interest and based on creative-content of our user base. There's about a 99% chance that this will fail, like everything at RV, but hang on to that 1%. Hang on tight, because this could be huge. Like, Digital-Complex huge.

The first day you wanted to start writing this was a failure to defend your Evony alliance-mate lillla from an nwo attack. You forgot that the lowest research applies, and hers is terribad.
The second day it crossed your mind to write on this, you were installing a Virtual Machine on the new computer. Problem with it was that the user account you were on, despite being labeled "Admin", didn't even have Write and Modify permissions. The actual hidden Admin account wasn't allowed to change those permissions.
So here we are nearly a week total later. If it really takes you this long to get motivated for anything, you're in trouble. That track record's been piling pretty high, and quite frankly, I'm tired of it. If you're STILL feeling tired of it upon reading this, you probably deserve to be at any low points you're at now.

So, onto happier things. Pessimism never was our strong suit, aye?

Obligatory Games of Interest
Phantasy Star Online, again: Raine is still stuck in the mines. Not for lack of ability to go through the majority of it without a kill: Jellen and Deband make an awesome combo, and getting past the traps is the worst part. The problem is Vol Opt. The spikes he drives down from the sky are too powerful for even the most defensive build I have to survive a hit. An all out offense works as well as an all out defense: both fail spectacularly.
However, despite her being stuck there, Shiva is fast to advance (to the point of rushing the Caves Forest [wtf?] and forcing you to play again the next day to find the pillar, THEN going through the mines again just to get to the ruins. Hasty!)
Evony: Yeah, it sucked you in out of curiosity. You remember seeing Age 2 back when we quit Age 1? Well, that which killed the cat took hold and we're off to test. It was pretty much the same, just a faster start and crappier system for attacking people. CALYPSO is turning out to be pretty fun, though.
Pokémon SoulSilver: The buffed Elite Four still whomps me, so at the present I'm trying to take advantage of Gym Leader phone numbers to get myself a few fights for exp. Never a not-fun game, though. :3
Team Fortress 2: I finally crafted a Brass Beast. All is good for my class' setups. ^_^

Drawing still happens, as we mentioned at the opening of the 2011 capsule. I hope Writing has come back, it was fun. D:

Odds are no new challenge has come to you on Brawl yet.

However, one curiosity comes up. Where's Adam in your time? In mine, he's up in Washington. He's slymacdj on here (with a wicked awesome sprite made for him, if I do say so myself) and, as far as I know, no news is good news about how well he's doing there. ... Heh, Shadow is still probably on just Hard mode of PSO and using Yamato, right?

Rob & Meg make it? Whit & Jon still happy? Jeff & Misty still cute together? James & Lady last the year? Adam & Tiffany working out? Definitely hope so!
Ooh, speaking of Whit and Jon! By then, the P&C pilot episode will have come out. What's the news on that? I've gotta tell you, I'm freakin' excited to see where that one may lead.

Homestuck finally finished? John planted a spoilers on Jack with spoilers Vriska spoilers and now he's looking off at PM like she's gonna kill him.
And that suddenly reminds me. Homestuck's Kickstarter apparently grossed $2,485,506. Yes, nearly two and a half million dollars. According to Hussie, that's the sixth highest earnings of all time, for a single Kickstarter. If this one comes out being anything less than Game of the Year for its year, I'll be disappointed!
On a highly similar note, Indiegogo was the host of TheOatmeal trying to build a Goddamn Tesla Museum. If you don't remember the specifics, he had to raise $850,000 so he could get a grant for an equal amount just to buy the land for the museum. He came out with $1,370,511, meaning he has $520,511 to play with for the museum. I hope these two are doing well!

Samurai Jack is apparently on the TV as I type this. I'd have never expected it to come back on. What's got your ears / eyes in the future-present, bro?

Able to sit on your hair again yet? How many debts have been squared away by now? Able to strum the Wind Waker tunes? How'd Global Mafia end up? How many more items have been added to the Kiko's List of grocery store worker don'ts? You probably won't match Skippy, but damn if it isn't fun.

Hope things are still moving upward for you, bro. You need to be higher up if you really want to help others be the same.

Greetings! In this time frame, you're in a really good place.

You're about a week into your first ever relationship, something that's hopefully still a thing! I'm confident it will be, but you never know. Gosh she is so great. Life makes sense, yknow.
have you... you know... done it....

Right now you're in Programming, Data Management, and Jazz Band. You're looking for a job, hopefully you got one shortly after this writing? Did you ever manage to get the money to go on Travel Club to Japan? How were Semi, Prom? Band trip? I guess you're probably in college now? Howzat?

Still in the usual living arrangements? Or have you moved into Dad's entirely? Dad got married to Charisse about a month and some ago, finally. He's finally happy. So proud. Is Chase still a dingus? Is Jake still slow? Where are Georgia and Gillian at?

Whatever happened to the Minecraft server you were doing with Riley and Justin and them?

How are your friends? Still talk to Aden I hope? Are he and Hayley still together? They're an odd couple, sometimes they seem perfect for each other, othertimes volatile. WHERE'S PATRICK?

IS HOMESTUCK OVER YET? I suspect it's probably on the homestretch, if my 10/25 2013 ending theory is correct.

Hopefully you can write music n'stuff by now.

That's about all I've got to say. Really happy right now. Stay gold.

Message: Finished FSM on April 19, started working at GFPI on May 14... You don't like it much, find the work to be tedious and boring and you wish to find another job soontimes.. Still working at 1194, racked up approx 4000 hours.. At this point, still working on getting to Stage 3, but I think you should get it by the end of this month. Stage 4 is going to take forever if you continue at this pace.. Other than that, not much else going on.. Court date on the 18th, hopefully that whole mess will be over and done with after that date.

Hello future you! Hopefully everything will be going well from here, 'til the next time you see this in 2013. So far, this year has been a pretty ok year, right? I will start you off with a few main questions that you should answer easily. How is life going for you? Are you still working at Panera, and trying your best to save money as you work? Do you still have a love/hate relationship with the job, and are the same people still working there? If not, then who has left the place, and who are the new people working there? Is Stephen still an assistant manager there? Is Mark still there? Hopefully things are good, another year around.

How was your one month trip to England? Did you enjoy it, and did you find everything to your expectations, maybe even more? Do you love it there, and do you really want to make a move there? If so, then what is the goal to moving over there? Do you still want to make it there by the end of 2013, or is it going to be another year?

Are you seeing your friends regularly, and do you still hang with Brian and the rest of the crew when you have time off of work? Is Brian in a relationship yet? How did Paris Island go for him? Did you attend his graduation in January? I hope you get to attend it! Are you still talking to Liz, and Jen as well and hanging with them when you can? Is Jen still with Rob? You two need to find a way to hang out more to get some female time.

Again, how is the money saving going? Are you putting most of it away in your savings, like you have been doing? You better be saving that money!

For now, that is all I have for you. I hope everything will go well!

Holy moly, it's you in the future! I hope the past year went well. Are you significantly closer to knowing what you want to do after college? Are you planning on never leaving (because that's a bad idea)? Did you have tons of fun and make tons of dough at your internship/co-op (that you totally got, right...?)?
