Dear 18 me.
My husband is a genius.
He just invented a time machine.
It has its faults, of course.
It can only go backward, not forward.
And there’s only one age where this machine stops.
18.
Oh, and it isn’t actually a time machine.
But on this website you can write a letter to yourself at the ripe old age of eighteen.
I’m writing a letter to funky-headed, self-absorbed, weird-outfit-wearing eighteen-year-old Lacey over there today.
Which, I think, implies two things.
One.
You should click here and read my letter.
And.
Two.
You should join the fun and write a letter to eighteen-year-old you.
(And please, for the love of a good chuckle, include a photo of yourself! At 18, of course!)
Man, I can’t wait to read these.

You're right; your husband is a genius. That's a great idea! It makes me think of that Brad Paisley song "Letter to Me." I think I'll play it while I write my own letter to me.
Oh, and what are pegged jeans? (My quick Google search left me a little confused.)

Pegged jeans – you take the hem of your jeans, fold them over until they are squeezing off the circulation at your ankles, then fold them over about three times, forming a lovely parachute pant look.
It's bad. Trust me – it's good to not see photographic images of it.

As a young lad entering college, I've read some letters, and mostly just gleaned that I will be incredibly easy to mock in a few years. Looking forward to it.

That might be all the wisdom you need to glean from this, young lad.
And I think it would be right funny if you sent a letter of your own over there too.
Sarah
wow, writing one of those is very therapeutic. I wish every young lad entering college could read it and learn from it.
LaceyKeigley
Did you submit it?
Can't wait!!
Sarah
nope…maybe soon though. mine turned out so serious. i wanted to make it funny but then i just got rolling on all the real things my stupid 18 year old self needed to hear. ayiyi!
Maggie
OK Lacey…
… Long Johns under dresses was AWESOME!
LaceyKeigley
Okay – I actually did really like them.
AND, even more importantly, perhaps is this – because of Lacey Eibert, Christian Heritage Academy made a new dress code regulation.
No long johns under dresses or skirts allowed.
MIssion accomplished.
