"This is Water": A Message for New Graduates
David Foster Wallace was an award winning author who suffered from depression. He gave a commencement speech called "This is Water." This is a part of that speech. It's about first world problems graduates will encounter. This video runs about nine minutes, but is probably the best commencement address I've ever heard.
BTW: Wallace committed suicide by hanging himself three years later after giving this speech. He was 46 years old. |

im 2+ years into this life. I value my weekends a shit ton more now. Weeks go by super fast being on a 12 hour schedule every day during the week. I'm basically poorer now than I was before I had a ft job since I had little to no bills. Being an adult sucks.

The sad part is I'm not that old.
Work at the same fulltime job for 5-10 years and report back though.

I could only take about 3 minutes of his droning. What a shitty outlook on life. Not surprised he offed himself. We're supposed to take advice from this guy why?

Find a job you love. It doesn't have to pay the most money, just enough to get by.
