Since the first post reminded me of college, here's some great advice for anyone on here who's actively in college or about to be: NETWORK like your life depends on it. Internships are so incredibly important to set the framework for your career. I definitely learned that too late after graduation. 2 3

50thStateofMind Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Study abroad while you have the opportunity in college...you really won't have a chance to do it again once you start a career Don't take things personally... Don't put expectations on other people... basically, The Four Agreements... 2 3
KatyPrismSpirit Posted May 22 Posted May 22 oh wait i have one that is kinda important. Start with getting your drivers license in high school when you are still young and aren't overloaded by deadlines and work. it's so hard to get your drivers license once you are over the age of 20 lol
airplane Posted May 22 Posted May 22 to anyone starting college or university soon, think 10 times before studying engineering. It's going to drain the life out of you 2

Popular Post Relampago. Posted May 22 Popular Post Posted May 22 Choose a career that's based on flexibility so you can pivot into different industries in case you want to job hop. Finding a career based on passion is cool, but all that really matters is a good working environment and I'm so serious about that. Don't worry about finding love, it will find you eventually. Appreciate what you have now because there are more forms of love than just romance. A LOT of people are stupid in this world. Like… a **** ton. Most people have absolutely no idea what they're doing and they wing it day by day, so have a little more faith in your abilities and don't let imposter syndrome get the best of you. Jobs are important only for the paycheck. Please don't base your self-worth on a job. It's far more important to be a good person, and if you do that you'll end up where you need to go. 15 2

Dystopian Posted May 22 Posted May 22 you don't owe your parents anything if they haven't earned your love and respect, and providing the bare minimum does not mean they deserve that. 5 1

Oh this absolutely. I remember when I first left uni being super nervous about applying for jobs that I thought I wasn't qualified for. Now every time I see a job I think to myself "I wonder what moron they've got doing this job at the moment, how hard can it be" 5
EnigmaticAndroid Posted May 22 Posted May 22 (edited) I've been on and off reading Daring Greatly by Brene Brown and it's been genuinely changing my outlook on life. The main lesson is to not live in a shell of shame and fear. Instead, figure out how to be genuine and vulnerable in healthy ways. In the process, you will start to live as the authentic version of yourself. Edited May 23 by EnigmaticAndroid 5

Breathe On Moi Posted May 23 Posted May 23 idk why that mofo didn't just elaborate instead of giving me a "confused" reaction, I was actually intrigued to hear his view point as to why he felt like that. anyways not interested anymore 1 1
NOW Posted May 23 Posted May 23 You can't force somebody to change for the better, it's up to them to walk whatever path they chose. You can tell them over and over and they will see the consequences every time but if they don't want to change, they won't. Don't put your heart and soul into your job, ever. You can put in the extra hours, come off as personable and easy to talk to in an attempt to make friends, but they will still let you go if they have no choice. Just do what you need to do each day and go home/log off. **** the happy hours/team bonding ****. Take care of your body - eat well, rest well, get exercise, and try to lower the amount of stress in your life. You might think you're still in your early 20s but your body will always remind you that you are certainly not. Most useful knowledge of what you end up doing for work is learned while on the job. A big chunk of stuff I learned in school ended up in a pile of notebooks/textbooks that I haven't cracked since graduating. Some of the hardest experiences in life aren't decisions that you get to make but are decisions you are forced to make. 6 1
ShadeIena Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Don't beg anybody for love or support. You are the only person that will be for you for until the last day. So have a good relationship with you and appreciate yourself 3 2
