Ten Things
Ten things to tell my past self. (Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon)
1. There is always time to work. Your family will not always be here so spend time with them.
2. One bad grade is not the end of the world.
3. Cereal is not an appropriate dinner…not every night at least.
4. Never underestimate your abilities.
5. Having a life plan is great; but be flexible.
6. Exercise. It is good for you.
7. Apply for things; you will be surprised what you can get.
8. Self-care is just as important as your career.
9. Eat good food. It is worth it.
10. Finally go take that pottery class; it is so much fun!
