Will Atkins-19-Plastics

I will admit, I had trouble thinking of a single piece of advice I had heard. I had an even more difficult time thinking of my single most important piece of advice that has managed to stick. I did however come up with one.

Stop giving a sh*t. That was the advice I actually got from myself midway through last semester. You may call me arrogant, but frankly I'm going to stick to my own advice. It came to me as a small epiphany as I began thinking about the number of people in our academy class who don't like me. I can't for the life of me remember what I was doing when I thought of this idea, but I remember thinking about a name someone had called me not long before this realization. I remember thinking, "should I continue to be nice to her even though she has been everything but to me?"

And then it hit me. Stop caring. You don't want to be nice to me? fine. Cause if I continue to care and worry? I'm going to become miserable, and miserable people never win. So I'm done worrying now, and to quote the GREAT 2 Chainz, "I ain't worried 'bout nothin'"
