I don’t do well. I’m not the dude people want at their parties. I stare too long. In crowds, I’m the asshole bumping over everyone. If I joined the army, I’d be the guy who blew himself up during training because grenades are slippery. I don’t do well. But today was something else.
I was led into the room by a pretty nurse who was clearly younger than me. I wrote...

GOOD has a pretty OK collection of “real advice” for college graduates up today. I say “pretty OK” because the “real talk for new grads” schtick is almost as annoying as the traditional, platitude-filled, bullshit graduation speech. “Real talk for new grads” essentially boils down to “here’s how to not be a shitty person.” You should know how to not be a shitty person after four years...

THIS IS PERFECT
