Healthy-living

Spring is in the air! Clouds of pollen roll across campus, inchworms descend from oak trees and senior columnists publish their lofty epistles reflecting on their four years at the place they are about to leave. This week, I hope to do the same while adding a piece of advice I found missing in previous columns—that patience really is a virtue. At some point in their four years at college, everyone feels the stress and frustration of uncertainty and perhaps failure in their academic and/or personal lives. Maybe you still seek the right major or a solid friend group. If I could offer one piece of advice to someone in that position it is this: be patient.

One of my favorite sayings is that everything will work out in the end, and if it didn’t work out it’s not the end. Time and again that saying has proven itself true, yet every day I still find myself failing to recognize its truth.
