Purpose Is Awesome
It’s amazing at how much you can learn when you have a reason to pay attention. That’s one piece of advice I give my “little classmates” (LOL, they make me feel old sometimes). When they’re talking about they don’t know what to do with their lives and stuff like that, I tell them to stay in school as long as they can until they figure it out. I know it’s expensive (if you get loans) and may be boring & uncool, but it’s a lot easier to just stay put until you find out what you should be doing with your life than graduating, doing something you don’t like, and THEN discover what you should do.
