Day 9: Post some words of wisdom that speak to you.
Tonight was our white coat ceremony! And if I knew this was today's prompt, I would have listened more carefully to all of the speakers because much wisdom was imparted on us tonight... Oh well.
As silly as it is, the words I've been living by most recently are "You live only once", which is the grammatically correct way of saying YOLO. I know, it's silly. But for a lot of my life, I've been missing out on opportunities, experiences, and memories because I always said no, or thought that another chance would come around. I missed out on opportunities to grow, to meet new people, to have fun for the heck of it.
Now this doesn't mean I'm going out and hopping on every opportunity train that comes my way. I'm still keeping sensible throughout this whole new journey of optometry school because honestly, there are some experiences that I don't need or want. But where there are opportunities to learn, make connections, and live well, I'll be up for it.
