"When I was a freshman in high school, I was bored on the Internet one day and randomly found this really cool website where you can send an email to yourself in the future (similar to FutureMe)!  The site allows you to write a message to yourself, an email capsule, that will be sent to the email address of your choice on the date that you choose. You can even decide to receive it up to 100 years from now! Ever since I was a high school freshman, I&amp;#039;ve sent a letter to myself each year, giving myself a rundown of what was going on in my life at that point and what I predicted would be happening at the time I read it. I get so excited to receive the next email from the younger me. It gives me a chance to see how much things have changed since the day that I wrote it. I have changed and grown so much as a person since I wrote that first letter to myself at 15 years old and it&amp;#039;s so obvious whenever I go back and read the old messages! The letters are something very special and personal to me, but I&amp;#039;ve decided to share a few excerpts from each letter with you Seventeen readers!  Dear Future Version of Me...   To Paige the Sophomore\u2014 &amp;quot;Hi Paige!! You are a sophomore now!! Well actually u r about 2 b a junior cuz i&amp;#039;m about 2 b a sophomore...

Written Mon Mar 23, 2009 To Paige the Freshman in College- &amp;quot;You are about to graduate in less than 2 months. omg.. high school def went by super fastt, but you def made ur biggest changes there. Right now you&amp;#039;re prolly reading this in your dorm room or something at Hampton Universityy! You have learned soo much over these last 4 years. You learned how to determine who your real friends were and how to deal with heartbreak.&amp;quot; Written Thu Apr 01, 2010 Time goes by soooo fast doesn&amp;#039;t it? It&amp;#039;s crazy looking back at these letters now and knowing the things I know now. The freshman in high school Paige could have never imagined she would be here in Virginia at Hampton University, working with Seventeen Magazine as a part of the Freshman 15. Hmm, looks like I have a lot to write about in my letter to Paige the college sophomore! I wonder how different things will be when I receive it in 2012.
