Make wise
investments (college is an investment)

Choose the things that will last: There are many things demanding our time and attention, they are not all worth it.

friendships: friends are a noun, friendship is a verb. Choose to invest in friendships that last. Friends are great, but know which to choose first.

Life has
begun, learn to enjoy where you are
o
It doesn’t
get better than now
o
The past is yesterday's now, while the future is
tomorrow's. when we look beyond now, we find it is a figment of
our imagination, an interpretation of what now was, or speculation of what it will be. The future cannot be better than now, as it
does not exist until now. The past is
simply an accumulation of the nows that brought us here. While it brought us this far, it will take us
no further, except to receive this now which will take us to the next. The only moment, and indeed the best one, is right now. The past is built from it, and the future will become it, so be happy to receive it.
