The main message is:

"Hey man, what's up? We haven't really talked in a while, and I think it's time we resumed communication... I guess what I really want to know is... What's up? How are your friends? Your enemies? Your rivals? Of course, this is all tongue-in-cheek, as we both know we're legally and contractually obligated to send these questions when communicating across any time dimension. So here begins my actual message: I really do look up to you, Future Me, I want you to know that life has been... stressful these past few weeks. Chemistry, Mathematics, and College Essay Writing has been a pain in the rear end. I can't handle it... It's all just too much. I want to know if we made it alright... Which begets the question: Where did we get in? Did our dreams come true? Please tell me that they did. I am (not sure if figuratively at this point) killing myself to give you the best opportunities possible. Please appreciate what I'm doing... I care about you a lot more than you think your arrogant 17-year-old self does.... You may remember, but you have no idea how much I hate myself as of writing this... My mother is a fucking nervous train wreck, and my dad can't be farther from ever understanding what I'm going through... In short: It's a hell. I feel like a complete dumb-ass whenever I'm in math and chemistry. There's just so many people infinitely more intelligent than I am. I can't possibly put myself to those standards. They're simply too high... I'm a fucking fraud... Well, that was god damn depressing, wasn't it? I'm sorry. It's been rough. I can't fucking handle anything... I'm useless... Anyway... I actually want to know some things about the future: Did you ever finish The Martian? How about Don Quixote? Gravity's Rainbow? The Prince? You can tell I'm putting you up to a high standard of literacy... You'd better deliver!!!!! This is getting pretty long... I guess I don't know what else to say... Have fun in the future. -Ricardo Iglesias"

The main message is:

"Hey yo! Hope your Spring semester went well! AND HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY OMG! :) Have you finished the book yet? GET ON IT! You have great ideas and this is your dream. Make. it. happen. Speaking of dreams, did you get your study abroad stuff figured out? Have you lost weight? Are you gonna try to meet Kit Harington?! Haha. No pressure, or anything. :D If study abroad stuff didn't work out, please don't feel upset. Travel can happen, no matter where you are, & you're gonna go to all the places you wanna go someday. You're gonna be a famous author, remember? But if you did make it work - way to fucking go. Seriously. Take a moment to reflect on all it took for you to get here. Think of your goals, of the things you want from life, and know that Dad would be so proud. I'm proud of you, too. Keep your head up. Enjoy your birthday. Enjoy life. Much love!! - Past You"
