letter to my younger self

Dear Siviwe

I am hoping you are doing well during this time of immense change in your life. This is now a brand new chapter in your life, one that is going to be filled with excitement, fear and life changing experiences.
Orientation is going to be extremely exciting and filled with many social events that you will have to attend so as to integrate well with other 1st years. However my dear friend you will soon find out that when the Big Fish return to their pond, and lectures start, not only are you the youngest but the most vulranable of the fish. You will need to be very aware of the fact that the social events do not end during O-week instead they increase as the term and year progresses. Your duty is to choose your battles well. By that I mean, go out, be merry, but remember what you came here for.
The tools that I am equipping you with are pretty simple and easy to operate. The hammer, it is there to help you with issues of getting hammered(being drunk). Know your limit friend and always be wary of receiving ready-made drinks. The second tool is the screw-driver which helps with issues of sex. I know you are a woman of morals, I trust you will make the right decision regarding this. The third tool is the bolts and nuts which are to help you with school work. This is what you came here for, studying and getting your degree, however growing up and establishing the kind of person you are is part of that.
You will enjoy University to the max but the issue of having too much at your disposal might be over-whelming at times. These are ones best years so make the most of them.

Lots of love
Siviwe
