- Your degree doesn't make you special and it doesn't guarantee you a job, happiness, or success.
- College debt should not be taken on frivolously and it can limit your options tremendously.
- Studying the liberal arts can be very valuable for your future career. Getting a degree in liberal arts, not so much. Don't trust the adviser who tells you otherwise.
- A law degree should never be a backup plan.
- If your degree is the most impressive thing about you by the time you've graduated, you're doing it wrong.
- Don't stress about your grades — in the end, there's only you and the value you can create.
- Regularly assign yourself creative projects to finish and put out into the world.
- Don't brag about your all nighters — all I see is someone who procrastinates.
- College is not and should not be the best time of your life.
- Spend the bulk of your studying time learning about things you don't learn in class.

A bullet that reached its destiny years later
Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged fate.
In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him.
The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree. Ziegland surely thought he was a lucky man.
Twenty years later, however, Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite.
