First, let's add the missing piece of information

1. play soccer with my cousins / play on the school team

2. write the letters by hand / write the email with the computer

3. be chubby / be thin

4. keep my cousins close / keep my cousins away

5. study in my room / study in the library

6. meet people from my city / meet people from all over the (the whole) country

Then, our answer:

1. I used to play soccer with my cousins, now I play on the college team.

2. Before I wrote letters by hand, now I write the email with the computer.

3. Before I was chubby, now I'm thin.

4. Before I had my family close, now I have my family away.

5. Before I studied in my room, now I study in the library.

6. Before I knew people from my city, now I know people from all over the (the whole) country

Explanation:

The imperfect past tense in a callsign employed in stating and making adequate representation of actions undertaken in the past that lacks a certain start and end period. In order to make mention of our past life in relation to our current life, we would basically use this time as shown in the first sentence and the simple present highlighted in the second: Before I studied in my room, now I study in the library.
