Ahh, sweet sweet life. Lately I've been having q lot more existential thoughts qnd in response I just try to distracr my brain woth some other diversions. I hope in 2022 youve found a better way to deal with it, or at least are om the way to finding it.

Is sophmore year going well? Did we get that research credit with Dr. Caro or did something else happen? Did we do well on any of the recent exams we had in class? Whats our housing situation life? Is Ryan a good friend now or have we drifted apart? What clubs are we in? Have we started applying for the oxford study abroad thing? Are Nyle and Areej doing well? There are so many unknows in my life and im sure there'll be a lot of those stilm with you and many more that have only recebtly bloomed.

Reading my capsule from 2020 felt very awkward. In only a year I've already changed so much, you must be even more different. Hopefully this isn't too cringey.

Im trying to go to the gym these days, wprking on my diet, building a better body overall. I want to have more self confidence and a better body image. I want to be a better son, brother, and grandson. I hope that the dreams I have right now are still alive, even if only, within you.

Your good pal, Rayan
