“I love college. And I think its important to mark the time you were here, and say, like, “I was here and this happened…” If you frittered it all away don’t fritter away the last three weeks. Just be present with them and, you know, love the people you love, really mark each moment. Remember how it feels to walk across the quad or wherever you walk, what it all smells like… take some impressions of it so it lives in you, so you’ll feel like “This happened… I was here. This happened and I am grateful for it.” Because in some ways being present is the antidote to nostalgia. If you weren’t really present here you’re going to miss it more because you’ll have the sense that you missed out on something or you didn’t do it fully. So I would just say: be here, enjoy it, and then just know that the next couple of years are going to be really hard. But they’re also going to be where all the gold is. If you can emerge from your twenties brave and bold and with some experience at your back, you’re gonna be great. Don’t be afraid to take a job where you’re getting people coffee. You’re going to have to be humbled. You’re gonna have to— I don’t know, maybe you’ll still be in school, maybe you’ll have to take a job you never thought you would take, but it’s all valuable if it’s not killing you. Here’s the thing: Success is really nice but it teaches you very little. Failure teaches you a ton. There’s a quote I read somewhere, something like: “If you succeed you’ll be happy, if you fail you’ll be wise.” … You’re going to get wise, And you’ll really find out who you are. And you’ll have moments of euphoria where you’ll feel like anything’s possible, and then you’ll have moments where you say “I am ill-equipped for the world in the most profound ways.” You’re going to feel all those things and just… don’t panic, you know? Find good friends, stick with people who feel nourishing and take good care of yourself. Try to orient yourself towards something good happening and then just, like I said, be really conscious of what you think, say, and do because those are your building blocks.”
