Dear Ambassadors,
I changed a lot because of y'all. I never thought that my life would end up the way it did because of this club. I applied for this club just suddenly. I didn't research it. I went for a tour and saw what the other Ambassadors were doing and I knew that was what I wanted to do. When I interviewed, I didn't think I was going to get it. When I found out that I did, I was so excited.
Ambassadors allowed me to succeed when I started college. I had a group of friends that was in some of my classes. Yea, there was some points where I couldn't handle it but I made it through. The Ambassadors were there when I needed them the most. Especially through my Sophomore year. I changed. I wasn't the shy girl anymore. I was talking to more people and doing stuff that I wasn't doing in the past. Ambassadors brought me out of my comfort zone.
Ambassadors were my safety blanket. I knew that no matter what happened, I would at least have a friend. Some of my best friend's were in the Ambassadors. I grew close to people that I probably would have never met on campus. These people found out things about me that nobody else knows. I trusted them and they trusted me. I spend 4 days a week with them and we never grew tired of each other. Relationships and friendships were formed and will last forever.
I just wanted to thank you for everything. Every laugh and smile. Every memory and every tear. I became more confident in myself and my abilities. I was able to get over my fear of public speaking. I learned so many skills.
I just want to thank the Ambassadors for two years. Two years that changed my life for the best. Friendships that will last a lifetime and memories I will cherish forever. Thank you for being the greatest club ever!
Love, Katlyn.

Dear incoming College Freshman
Dear incoming College Freshman,
Your college career is starting. These are going to be the best year's of your life. School starts in less than two weeks and it is going to be busy. I know you can't wait to start college because you are an adult. College is a new experience. You will meet tons of people that will become some of your closest friends. Some of my best friends I meet my freshman year of college. These friends are the people I spent most of my time with.
College is an adventure like no other. You learn the real you in college. College helps you get out of your comfort zone. It allows you to decide the person you want to become.
Here are some tips that will make the transition easier:
1) Make friends- Don't be a loner. Be friends with your roommate or the person that sits next to you during class. Friends are what keeps you sane during the school year. Some of my closest friends came from my Freshman year of college.
2) Join clubs- They are good on resumes but they also keep you occupied. I was in maybe 3 clubs my Freshman year of college. Sophomore year, I was in 9. Most of my friend's was in the same clubs as me.
3) Go to school events. Going to the events will help you find friends but sometimes they give out free stuff and food. Go to the back to school event. Or maybe a college or career fair. Go to the events that has food. Go to sporting events. and homecoming.
4)Buy a planner and use it. A planner saved my life trying to keep track of everything I had to do. Every class, club, and personal events had a different color. My planner saved my life when I had to keep track of everything.
5) Buy your books used. Do not buy new books unless you have to! Used is cheaper and some classes, you may use the book maybe 5 times.
6) Do not take a 7 to 8 in the morning class unless you have to. They are the devil. You fall asleep halfway through the class and you won't pay attention.
7) Go to class. It is not mandatory except on test days but if you don't go to class then you will be behind. Going to class helped me and sometimes the teacher will go over the test a class or two before. Some teachers also do participation points if you show up to class and they add up.
8) Sign up for the class that seems interesting to you. You may find out that you enjoy it.
9) Enjoy college! Be safe! And have fun. College is a huge transition but it is the best time of your life if you allow it to be.

Open letter to the guy that I thought loved me
Dear you,
I know you know who you are. I wanted to let you know that I am not mad at you. I did think that you loved me at some point but I guess it just disappeared. I really don't know when I started loving you. I realized it during Senior year of high school. We had know each other in school and flirted but I didn't like you. I actually thought you were annoying. But somehow my feelings for you changed.
It was my Senior year of high school when I realized that I had feelings for you. We reconnected and were talking almost everyday. I realized that I liked you and that I wanted to be with you. It just felt great talking to you but I knew that I couldn't be with you. You were in the military and just got stationed in Hawaii. You had met a girl and you married her. I was happy for you but I was upset that she wasn't me. When it ended, I was excited for us.
As the years went, I guess I just liked you more. I also loved you more. And I thought you loved me. My freshman year of college came and left. We were still talking and having fun and trying to see what would happen with us. I was going to move to Hawaii to be with you. I couldn't handle being away from you. Sophomore year of college brought us some changes. You moved back and I was so happy. But I didn't get a chance to hang out with you or talk to you as often. I talked to you more when you were in Hawaii even with the four hour time difference. I saw you and hung out with you once for our high school homecoming and it was wonderful. We were wonderful and were close. I wanted a relationship with you but something always was in our way. A girl for you or a guy for me. Different states and just work and school.
But with every beginning comes an ending. This summer we talked and I realized that your feelings for me were just friendly. Sometime along the way, you didn't love me anymore. And I didn't realize it until later that maybe I didn't really love you. That I was just hoping for a chance with you and that I was just faking the love for you. Just remember that I am always here for you and that I cherish our friendship together. Maybe the love we had will come back but I hope you succeed in life. And find someone that really loves you.
Thanks for 5 years of friendship.
