Liebe Lucy,It's been a while since I last wrote to you, but I have been incredibly busy during that time. I've been busy starting my final year of school, applying to universities, organising, writing and directing a pantomime in under a month with 2 other incredible people, celebrating the last Christmas that won't involve a journey home and turning 18.
Year 13 is terrifying and stressful and wonderful all at the same time. I'm very aware of moments that I will look back on in years to come fondly as I remember the person I used to be. Whether it's the moments in the common room kitchen playing Cards Against Humanity with half my year group or the day we took formal photos to remember each other by in 10 years when it's been far too long since we last saw each other, there have been so many beautiful little moments that I'm making sure to hold on to incase I'm ever in need of something to remind me how wonderful my time at that place is.
As the new year rolled in you found yourself officially a fully fledged adult with the ability to buy alcohol, although that is something you are yet to do, with 4 offers from Universities under your belt as you await a reply from the last one. While you are still absolutely terrified at the idea of moving out and living on your own, away from your family, you are beginning to warm to the idea ever so slightly, partly from seeing how much your brother enjoys it but also partly because you have grown a lot since the summer, despite it feeling like not much time having passed.
I'll be letting you know more about some of the other things I've been up to soon, but for now that's all I have for you.
Happy new year,
Love Lucy x
