If you're reading this, this is your reminder from Brown Hall
During an event at Brown Hall Residence, IYRT @ UGA asked students about reminders they carry with them. This letter is a collection of their responses.
“We worry a lot and often lose ourselves. But fear not! When, and if we do figure it out, I wonder what adventures we will go on.”
“Maybe growing up isn’t about becoming something new, but slowly becoming more of yourself and continuing to improve yourself.”
“Take a deep breath and try to give yourself some credit for how hard you’ve been trying to reach your goals. Growth isn’t actually a smooth and comfortable ride. Growth comes with facing challenges that make you want to question everything that you’re doing. However, those heavy and confusing moments are just proof that you are actually aiming beyond your limits. Keep showing up for yourself today, because every setback is just shaping you into someone who can handle exactly what you're aiming for.”
“Dear future self, I hope you have learned to set boundaries and make time for yourself, while everything feels urgent. I promise that things can wait and it will be okay. Your time is important too and remember to take it.”
