MY LIFE<br />

CO-EDITOR RACHEL MITCHELL<br />

DEAR PAST ME<br />

BY ELENA HARRIS<br />

The future can be scary, the unknown<br />

can be scary for anyone, but you<br />

have nothing to fear. Throughout the<br />

next couple of years, you will face<br />

times when you feel worthless and<br />

even unmotivated however with this<br />

time you’ll eventually start to reflect<br />

and realise that life can be exciting,<br />

if you let it.<br />

As you start to go through life you<br />

may lose friendships but will gain<br />

better and stronger ones. This is<br />

where you should take my advice:<br />

don’t be easily influenced by other<br />

people’s words, learn to be<br />

yourself and enjoy the things you<br />

want to enjoy, this way you’ll be able<br />

to let go of the past. Never let anyone<br />

define who you are, as only YOU can<br />

define that; once you can accept this,<br />

life may become more enjoyable.<br />

When going through college, you’ll<br />

feel stressed and want to give up,<br />

but don’t. Make the bold decision<br />

of working hard and it’ll pay off in<br />

the end and you will feel happy and<br />

relieved that you did.<br />
