Advice to the College Bound

Aug17
2009
Written by Aaron DeLay

I posted this on someone’s facebook wall but liked it so much I wanted to share with y’all. This was my advice to a young lady having experienced her first few hours in college -

Hey random note from a random twitter/youtuber – College is one of those things that forces us to grow up in so many different facets that a lot of what’s going to happen to you is going to suck/hurt and otherwise make you wish you had never heard of college. On the other hand those changes and experiences can bring you the greatest joy and biggest smile.

It’s a two edged sword that cuts both ways – sometimes within the first hours and very much over the coming weeks/months. You can do it and without question have every possibility of going into those halls and classes and changing the world. There is no key or special sauce to get through the next few years as each will be different for everyone.

It’s your destiny. Your future. Own it, live it, love it and laugh your way through it.

And know there are people from your family to friends to random people on facebook cheering you on. Kick it in to high gear and roll on.
