Twitter Users Offer #GraduationAdviceIn3Words
Graduation season is over. Classroom doors are closed (at least for now). Textbooks are put away for such a time as to not appear in the future. Commencement speeches, however interesting or intriguing they were, have probably been forgotten. Official diplomas have yet to arrive, but … we can wait on that.
The past several years have been full of advice-giving from teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and yes, even commencement speakers. But it wouldn’t hurt to hear a little more, from an unlikely source — Twitter. The #GraduationAdviceIn3Words hashtag was trending over the past few days and it was filled with some good (and some not so good) advice for new graduates.
You may now flip your tassels (er, screens):

Exiting from the rigors of classwork doesn’t give you permission to stop learning, or growing, for that matter.
