Timeless College Advice

Backstory: This is the last paragrah in a letter I found that my mom sent me during my first week at college – 13 years ago.

Be careful, lock your car, don’t forget your keys, make your bed, pick up after yourself, hang up those wet towels, watch your money, study hard, and don’t believe a darn thing that some guy tells you!!!
