Northwestern Community
If you’re reading this, here’s what we would tell our younger selves
We asked our Instagram community to share what they would tell their younger selves. Here are their responses:
Everything will work out
Comparison is the thief of happiness
Don’t be afraid to take chances
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Allow yourself room to feel regret but don’t let it overwhelm you
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! You are NOT alone
Rest is productive too
Savor every moment living with your best friends
Write things down!
Enjoy the present
Be patient with yourself
The sun will still rise
You career and academics are not everything; put energy into things & people you love
College is such a special time in your life, cherish every moment
Find little things that bring you joy in every day
Everything will work out! Try to slow down and enjoy the moment more
As always, we’re here for you. Have a great week, Wildcats.
