Dear Future Steph.

I'm writing this to you because I know what you're like; you say that you'll get lots of work done, but you won't. You'll give up as soon as times start getting hard. I'm writing this to remind you that you need to keep working. If it's online, there's more of a chance you will see it because that's where you spend most of your time when you're not doing work.
It was your fault you didn't do well this year. You got complacent and you deserve every grade you got. So this year, do your work the night it's set and do it well. Don't go on the laptop so much: nothing is going to have changed in an hour and what has changed will still be there when you have finished. Just get on with your work first.
Think of being able to prove everyone wrong: prove them you're smart enough to go to St. Andrews University and, more importantly, prove to yourself you can. Imagine moving there and feeling proud of yourself. It's the perfect university for you and you can get there. If you work, that is. Think of how much you have fallen in love with that place. Think of how it's just on the coast and how recognised it is as an establishment. Prove you are smart and hardworking. Prove that you are worth the air you breathe.

Close the computer. Log off, put it away and put your all into proving everyone wrong.
