10 years from now..., youll be surprised Options

[piney]

this will make you happy
in ten years.
write a letter to yourself telling yourself your hobbies, friends, how you look, what you hate and like, etc. ask yourself questions. anything.
give the letter to someone you trust and know very well. tell them, in ten years, to mail the letter to yourself.
you'll be glad you do it, and in those ten years, probably forget you ever even wrote the letter. youll be surprised when you get it :)

[teenprincess]

That's a good idea! Except everyone I know would probably forget about it and it would end up in the trash before the day ends. Ok.. maybe not the day, probably by a week.

[pshaa.shauna]

I wouldn't give it to a friend, I'd hide it somewhere, and say open in 10 years.

[silver-rain]

That's a good idea, but I agree, I wouldn't give it to anyone else. I'd just keep it somewhere, hide it and try to remember. Hah, we did something similar in 5th grade, where my teacher told us to write a letter to ourselves on the first day, and on the last day of school, he would give it to us to read. It was interesting because a lot of us forgot about it.

[PiGo]

My freshman English teacher is doing something similar with us...On one of the last days of school we wrote a letter to ourselves, gave it to him, and he's mailing it to us when we graduate. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.

[Aestuarium]

probably forget you ever even wrote the letter

The other person will forget too, but good idea ;)

[demolished]

Make a time capsule instead of giving it to someone else! =]

[heyyfrankie]

i think i might do that. but i'm not sure i would be able to wait 10 years. (i'm a very impatient person). i would probably open it up once i graduate. (3 years)

[heyyfrankie]

damnit.

my art teacher did that in fourth grade! he said he'd send it to us when we go into 6th grade. i never got mine, but my friends did.

[demolished]

Someone must've jacked your stuff.

Ask your teacher.

[aera]

^if i went and asked now, he'd just be like "who are you?"

didnt like him too much anyways. ><

[5ayuri]

That seems cool.
But I think the person I will give it to will just lose it.

[lovescream]

... Maybe a year or two is better than ten.

[IamRad]

i kind of did that..but not after 10 years.. i wrote in a xanga like 3 years ago.. and i went back to look at what i wrote.. i was such a weirdo haha

[ichigofan]

Yea For my Senior year [which is coming up YAY FINALLY] our school is doing a time capsule.. but we are putting in a video and some of the textbooks we used throughout our 4 years its going to be great.. I love looking back and seeing how much Ive changed.. even if its good or bad. That is a great Idea!

[x3Death.By.Knife...]

-> good idea

thats seems like a good idea.. cause i'll look back at meyself and probably laugh.. heh >.> <.<

[ANG33ZY]

i had this little time capsule thing back then in 3rd grade and i found it last year. all the memories.

this sounds like a good idea too

[shortiiex]

i bet that my friend will read it..so i wouldn't give it to them
i'll just put it somewhere safe

[iheartjohn]

I'd probably open it again in like, two months.

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

That's a good idea! Except everyone I know would probably forget about it and it would end up in the trash before the day ends. Ok.. maybe not the day, probably by a week.

^Yeah, I agree. I'll probably end up throwin it away or something

[PinkTrash]

yeah, I would just hide it myself and take it our 10 years later..

[*incoherent*]

knowing me and the people i hang out with, well forget to mail it. also, what if the person doesnt know your address 10 years from now?

[Blank-OuT]

I'm kinda doing the same thing, but with xanga lol. I made a new xanga right before highschool started, so at the end of senior year when I graduate I'm gonna look back on everything that I felt/thought during the school years.

Also, it's pretty crazy when u see all of u're work that's been done in school. The other day I found some of my notebooks from 4th grade (about 6 years ago), and I was like wow lol.

[HelloSunshine]

I wouldn't give it to a friend, I'd hide it somewhere, and say open in 10 years.

Ditto.


That's a great idea. I love looking back on things and all. (: I'm going to try it.

[redpeony]

We did one of those when we were in grade 8. Next year when we graduate, they're going to give the letters back to us at the graduation ceremony for us to read. It'll be fun, but I regret not putting a little more effort into that letter (it was only a page or so of me complaining how stupid it was)

[toodlepops.]

It would be cool. But I'm not giving it to my friend. Nuh-uh

[eetx]

i kind of did that..but not after 10 years.. i wrote in a xanga like 3 years ago.. and i went back to look at what i wrote.. i was such a weirdo haha

haha i did that too. cept it was more like 1 or 2 years. it was funny..i was laughing about how stupid i sounded. haha

[inlonelinessidie]

Did it for school already. =p

[racoons > you]

i would find it after a years time, not know what it was, open it, and ruin the surprise

its a neat idea though

[xbby_charmz]

i tried that when i was eight i still dont know what i had wished for for my 8th birthday and i have no idea where the paper is maybeee hmm under my bed.........

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

That's a cool idea, but I'd probably just stick it in my back pocket and forget all about it.

[jue]

hrmm. the probem that might occur is the friend that yu gve that ketter too might either : loose it, forget it, or loose contact with you and odnt know where you live anymore to mail it to you.

but thats a good idea :D

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

That's a fun idea...I don't know if my friends would remember themselves! Heh. I think I'll write one and stick it on my collage until that day comes...Or at least carry it around because I can't leave it here while I'm away at college. =] It's a great idea I'm gonna go write a letter to myself right now! Err....I'm procrastinating now.

[jerseygal34]

that's what we did in mi school..the teachers then when we come back for like the reunion or something they're gonna give us the letters

[*mzkandi*]

I'm far too lazy to do that.

[NatiMarie]

^__^
Sounds spiffy.
I should do it.
;x

I might.
o.o
I'm hungry.
