Mine sat under my bed for years and years, collecting large quantities of dust. Every so often I would pull it out and consider opening it. But, I was strong and held out.
Back in 2002, the year 2012 seemed SO far away! I was going to be OLD in 2012!! But looking back, 2002 seems like just yesterday! The years flew by so quickly!!
In February my best friend Lacey and I got together to open our cans!! When that can was sealed I was also with Lacey! It was fun to open them together!!
Look at what was in my can:
Pictures of boys, pictures from the Olympics, notes to friends, clippings of clothes and shoes and jewelry I wanted, a Strength of Youth pamphlet and a cut out of Dr Pepper!! I don’t know what I was hoping would be in that can, but there wasn’t anything I was super excited to find! It was pretty fun to read through the “About Me” papers though!! Here are some of the things I wrote, word for word!
What’s Hot? What’s Not
* What people are wearing? Roxy, Silvers, Quicksilver and Lucky
* Fads that are in? Wearing cute socks and flip flops
* Top Songs? Upbeat pop songs
* Top TV shows? MTV, TRL, Friends and Alias
* Top Movies? Lord of the Rings and Star Wars
Hi, Future World!! Let me tell you about myself. My name is Amanda M Markus. I am also called Mandi. As I prepare this time capsule, I am 16 years old and in the 11th grade. I go to Copper Hills. I have plenty of happy times in my life, but overall I’d have to say the best day was when I went to the Olympics and when I did honor choir. Then there was the worst day, which I’d like to forget. One that day, I fell off a ledge in Snow Canyon. My proudest moment was when I got accepted to NHS. My most embarrassing moment was when I fell down the stairs at school and fell up too. {Even then I fell down a lot!!}

Im so impressed that you waited! I didn't, pretty sure mine was opened 4 years later. lame. We should do it again, SERIOUSLY.
I made one in 2001 and opened it last year. It must have been a stake-wide YW activity or something. It was fun to look through what seemed so important back then.
