Stamped/Theme... both in one.
Back To School...
Well this year should be quite different for me. I am not returning to my high school, or any high school for that matter. This past June I graduated from high school and in about two weeks, I am on my way to the real deal... University. So many emotions are running through my head while my getting ready process for university is already in tact. I know that I can proudly say that I will be attending McMaster University, starting September 4th in the Faculty of Social Sciences. I am excited for university because I am finally doing exactly what I want to do. High school was a mixture of things I had to do and things I wanted to do. I am finally getting rid of math and science (my two weaknesses) and focusing my time exactly where my strengths lay. I will be living away from home, with my best friend as my roommate. I could not be more thrilled about this and thinking about it now makes me even more excited. Things that I fear about university are... pretty much, failing. What if I cannot handle the work load? What if I can't keep up? What if I am not as smart as I have always believed? All of these things scare me but I am willing to find out the outcome none the less. I am going to refrain from rambling on about university for much longer but I am looking forward to everything, and am willing to accept all of the positives and negatives of university life as experience. I wish myself luck and of course to all of you in your studies =)

Dear Self,
Here are 10 things you should listen to...
10. Don't be an attention whore.
9. Be a tad less shy (most people don't bite).
8. Accept all the negative aspects in your life as experiences.
7. Be more selective about who you trust.
6. Don't be afraid to try new things.
5. Good things do not ALWAYS come to those who wait.
4. Stop being so jealous or protective of things/people that do not belong to you.
3. Get a life.
2. Be your toughest critic.
1. Never be anyone but yourself, and 'don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game'. Keep loving yourself.
Love, your toughest critic...
