Graduation is near and the future is scary. What comes next? We are officially going to be forced into the real world. Ready or not, here we come?

Some may have a better idea of what comes next and some may be living day to day. Whichever someone you are, it's OK. You will figure it out and what's a better way to figure it out than with the comfort of an old friend?

Dr. Seuss taught us a lot when we were kids, but did we think that we would still be learning from him as adults? If anything, his words are more inspiring and motivational than when we were kids! His words hit home for us college students because we are facing many obstacles and fear for the future after graduation. He reassures us that everything will be OK in the end and to continue to be who we are, no matter what.

Thank you Dr. Seuss.
