I want to use this blog as a way to (hopefully) give advice to future/current undergraduates, or maybe just to young people in general. College obviously isn't for everyone, nor should it be, so hopefully what I have to say will be found to be applicable to many and not just college students. I especially wanted to start this as a way to piece together all of the lessons I've learned, the experiences I've had, and the things that I would/wouldn't have done differently, as my little brother is set to start college in the fall (whether he'll listen to any of this is another story).
With blog posts such as "Sh*t I wish I knew," and "Sh*t I wish I'd done," I hope to offer some advice that I wish I'd been given or heeded as an undergrad. I'll also attempt to describe the "second chance" that I feel grad school offers, while also doing my best to chronicle my move to/adventure in Hotlanta later this summer.
Cheerio!
Yay! And hey I think I gave you some grand ole advice ;). But I suppose I was also given good advice as well...but sometimes it just takes going through it yourself to really realize that well maybe I should've listened to "so and so". Plus we all have different experiences and circumstances and can all learn from each other. Heck I know my mother's college experience was completely different from mine, she was also busy raising two kids!
ReplyDeleteBut learning from our experiences and moving on to the next step is what life is all about right? So long as you learn from it, try to help others, work hard and continue to do better...then you'll be successful at whatever you choose to do!
I know many emotions come with graduating and although I remember some of my many different thoughts, feelings and ideas for the future...it's also easy to forget some of those trying moments once you're passed that point. I'm looking forward to reading this blog, learning from your experiences, supporting you and finding myself humbled by the many emotions and fears that I may have forgotten since my graduation four years ago.
I'm glad I will get to read your writing more often ;)
