Advice: Slow. Down. Please
Welcome Back Waves,
And here it is… the school year has begun. Yay!
Maybe it’s a first one, a next one or a last one. Regardless, it is a precious one.
“It will fly by,” “Don’t take a second for granted,” “Be present,” are all pieces of advice we have received for years — sometimes welcomed, sometimes white noise that goes in one ear and out the other. The idea that life is fast so we must take advantage of it, is not some brand new, profound discovery but it is the truth. It is way WAY too true.
This is my last year at Pepperdine and I have never been more terrified of anything. There is so much I will have to say goodbye to –– life I will have to relearn and rediscover. There is also an abundance of things to look towards. It is undoubtedly the most exciting time of my life. But in my 3 college years and 21 person-years, I have learned that presence really is everything.
