Embracing Stupidity and Growing From It 🤍🫶🥸

Learn to be stupid 🥸🤩

That’s it. That’s the piece of advice I wish could tell myself three years ago. Learn to embrace the fact that you will never again be the smartest person in the room and learn from it. Take advantage of the resources around you and learn to be stupid. Ask the “dumb” question. Go to office hours as often as you can. Build relationships with your classmates and professors. Learn to embrace the gift of stupidity and better yet, learn to grow from it. 🤓

I am proud to be the stupidest person in my major and maybe in my whole college. Because I will always work as hard as I can to prove that my stupidity is my super power.

What advice would you give yourself from your first year of college? How do you think you’ve grown since then? How do you embrace stupidity? Let me know down below 👇 🫶
