Letters from a Confused College Student

Dear Universe,

I am totally and completely lost in life. I'm at a college I don't want to be getting a General Associate's degree. I have no idea what or where I want to go after getting my Associates. I need some sort of direction! But maybe I should introduce myself first.

Hi! I'm Elizabeth the self-titled confused college student who has no money and very little legal work experience. I'm hoping that through these letters to the universe maybe it'll answer some of my many questions and prayers (even though I'm religious I am still kinda hoping someone will answer them) about what in the hell I should be doing with my life. I'm not even a complainer but I've never felt as down about my life as I do right now. I could just use a little guidance and money and for the love of God can my financial aid please just stop screwing me over! I've had to submit and call a thousand people just so I can sort of pay for college.

Please don't get me wrong, I feel so lucky that I'm able to further my education and eventually move on to be hopefully successful but right now at this moment, I just feel stuck and I'm not even sure how to fix that. I am an 18-year-old without a job and a license. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! I keep promising myself I'm gonna make all these great changes and get my life together but I just can't seem to pull myself out of this funk. To anyone who reads this, if you have or are currently feeling the way I do right now, I hope you never feel it ever or again because I think I cry every day and most times I really just don't know why. I think it'll help when I clean my garbage dump I call a room, and start focusing more on school and less on what's going wrong. I felt so much better when I used to work out so I should probably start doing that again and maybe I should take a break from listening to sad Coldplay songs and thinking about all my past and failed relationships.

Take it from me; what you watch and listen to really affects how you live your life. I didn't realize this until after but when I was a few years younger, I listened to super hardcore angry angsty music and it made me an angry person but I know that doesn't happen to everyone but it can affect you so it's just a word of caution. I guess I'm just hoping I can fix myself if I just start changing things and I know I won't be happy again in a snap but maybe I can get better by slowly but surely picking up the pieces. Wow, this letter really got away from me but I hope it offered some solace to anyone who stumbles upon it and hey, universe, if you could send some good vibes my way any day now, that'd be great. I hope my whining wasn't too much to bear but I think next week's letter will hopefully be a bit less depressing. Love you guys, have a great week, and remember to check back for another letter coming soon! But if you need a quick pick-me-up, watch To All the Boys I've Loved Before. It's kinda corny but it's cute and fun and will definitely brighten your day!

With all my heart,

Elizabeth
