Phone-a-thon advice

If you ever went to college, you learn that as soon as you leave you get a yearly phone call from a student asking for $$$. I had one of those experiences last night. And I was so excited to talk to a freshman. James is who I talked to, he clearly was trying to get done with this call as fast as possible. As he was going through his rehearse talk, I kept interrupting asking about his life. I didn't get much out of him. But no the less I enjoyed the conversation. He called mid-work-out, and as I spent the next 10 minutes sweating, my mine wandered to my freshman days and all the things I learned and wished I knew. I wrote them down and sent them to James. (Having my envelope giving every detail I learned about this kid, asking one of their mail room staff to figure out and deliver it to him)  sending some kid advice is very uncommon not just for me, but for most of the world. Not sure if it will be helpful for him at all. But it was good for me to think back and reflect on this time in my life. ... Oh and below is what I said, you can get the same advice as James if you want 😉
