Mannn, was I NOTTT prepared for life after graduation! I spent time unemployed, lived at home with family, and did not feel like a "successful" college graduate. More on what I DID learn during my first year out of college later...but here's what my commencement speaker should have said:
Life is tough but God is faithful.
You may be unemployed for a long time before getting a job but hang in there.
Take the time to reach back and help someone else. You didn't get here by YOURself.
Don't forget where you came from. The journey has shaped who you are today.
Commit your way to the Lord, and He'll work things out better than you could've ever planned (partly gathered from Proverbs 16:3).
Cherish the friends and memories you have from your time in college.
Use your time wisely: if you only live to be 80, you have about 21,170 days left...make them count.
Enjoy the simple pleasures in life like being able to walk on a sunny day or having your mom fall asleep while watching a movie with you.
Make sure to use the money and resources the Lord has blessed you with wisely and to help others.
What other words of advice would you give graduating seniors?
