And don’t compare your story to anyone else’s. Although it’s easy to look at others in jealousy and distraught, your journey is your own. Your path should not be defined or compared to anyone else’s, as they are not living the same life as you. You may go through ups and downs throughout college and the rest of life, however, the road will always unwind into the exact path you belong on. Trust yourself and stop comparing the lives of others you barely know to the wonderful person that you know inside and out, yourself. You are enough, just as you are. How amazing are you to even be able to graduate and apply to different universities? Remember that your worth is not measured by a to-do list or boxes to check, or the titles you wear and the opinions of others. It’s easy to get caught up in the world of unreachable expectations and pressure. However, you will continue to grow in ways unimaginable, discovering all your capabilities and strengths. As you start this new chapter in your life, embrace all of the unknown with open arms. Do not be scared of change, and do not be scared of the future. There will be moments of failure, but there will be even more moments of growth. Success is not a linear path. So, trust yourself and believe in the world of endless possibilities awaiting you. You don’t need permission to be the person you are becoming; grow, learn, pursue, and most importantly, take care of yourself. Celebrate the now, cherish the past, and be ready for the next step. Take pride in your journey!
