A Non-Academic Circular

Greetings fellow students!

This is a gentle reminder to tell you that you are a student and not a lab rat

This competitive world will tear your veins and use them as puppet strings

You have a future, whether you are an overachiever or a ‘laid back’ frat

Your grades and SATs do not decide what your future can bring

Go host carnivals, fundraisers and Ted Talks

Socialize with new people and invest time in good relationships

Ditch your dog filter and take your dog for a walk

Or be a sports captain to learn the value of sportsmanship

Pursue your passion and yearn to learn

Go take a ballet class or get your dream internship

At the end of the day, it is trust and not that you truly need to earn

Focus on your mental and physical health; get a yoga membership

Question every theory, formula and derivation

Pamper your soul non-academic reading

Treat the trials and tribulations of life like a short-lived flirtation

Continue to hustle and do not get demotivated by life’s kneading
