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 :) |

 I like it like that Group: Member Posts: 1,248 Joined: Mar 2004 Member No: 5,961 |
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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!

 Until the end of time... Group: Member Posts: 456 Joined: Jan 2004 Member No: 460 |
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. |
