TRANSCRIPT

12 Contradicting Lessons I Wish I Learned InCollege

one day you will graduate

and that day you will be sad

but it is ok

because this is life

and with all the shit, it is beautiful

unique snowflake beautiful

but we all make mistakes

and I wanted to give you some notes I had from college

12 Contradicting Lessons I Wish I Learned InCollege
