Dear Girl:

You are not David Hume. You are not John Locke. You are not a philosopher. This is an intro-level Philosophy class we are frantically taking in an effort to graduate on time. You will not conceive of a philosophical breakthrough.

Also, you pronounce it "ex-specially".

Something that is not a good idea:

Leaving almost-finished bubble tea on your bedside table for 4 days.

Just, you know, in case you didn't realize.
