Do You Have Any Advice For Students?

When I was in school, I found myself thinking I was supposed to be taking certain classes, interviewing for certain jobs, and applying to certain companies. There’s an impressiveness to some kinds of jobs and industries, but I found that at the end of the day, everybody graduates, and then they have to actually do the job.

It’s no longer telling people you got the interview; it’s the work that comes with it. So, I’d say, try to separate yourself from the noise.

Take a moment to yourself and think about your non-negotiables, your values, goals, the things that put you in a flow state. It all trends back to you, so make decisions accordingly. 

Lastly, I’m a big believer that everything is as it should be or else it would be different. For me, that sentiment de-stresses the worry of always making the “right” decision.
