Commencement Speech
May 2, 2008
Hi loves. Well I’m in and out…just got home Wednesday, had meetings all day yesterday and now I’m about to hop a plane to Chicago. Why, you ask? Because I am giving the commencement speech at Eastern Illinois University tomorrow. Yeah, I’m totally going to be the girl in the embellished graduation garb and spewing life wisdom to a bunch of recent grads. It’s exciting and scary, but most of all, I just want to say ONE THING that will help these young people start their post-college existence with a bang. So my question to you, my loyal blog readers, is this: What is the one piece of life advice you wish were told when graduating college?

Got something to say?
What is the one piece of life advice you wish were told when graduating college?
Now is the time to do something extraordinary with your life. Follow your dreams. Don’t wait until 10 years down the road when you finally wake up. Now is the time. GAME ON.
I wish someone had told me / reminded me that my career will not end up defining my life or who I am. But rather it will be the relationships I have / create with family and friends that will provide me with the most fulfillment and will come to answer the grand old question of “What have I done with my life?”
A paycheck is nice, but it can’t make you laugh when you’ve had a bad day.
Good luck with the speech!
