“I know it can be really overwhelming figuring out who to be, and when. Who you are now and how to act in order to get where you want to go. I have some good news: it’s totally up to you. I also have some terrifying news: it’s totally up to you.”

“Learn to live alongside cringe.”
Same, Taylor. Same. 🐿 #22GraduatesVersion #NYU2022
