Success in College and Why Grades Don't Matter

This video is for incoming college freshmen who want to start their undergrad with intention, purpose, and clarity! I share my best tips for success in college, why grades don't define you (unlike in high school), and career advice. This is also great college advice for high school seniors who are looking to shift their mindset going into college. Career advice for young people is usually given by people who are way joined the workforce a long time ago (psst... their experience might be outdated), but the college advice in this video is designed for incoming grads who want to find jobs and not waste time stressing about unimportant things.

    What I wish I knew in college was that I needed to find what resonated with me most and less about molding my life, and future, to what potential employers would want. I was listening to Brene Brown on audible the other night, she touched on the issue of creativity slump, and how that really affects our ability to grow and offer our best assets. She was talking about how children get to 4th and 5th grades and stop making art from a creative place and start making it from a comparison place. They examine what others are doing and mirror that, essentially losing the essence of their own true creativity. I have seen this when I taught art to elementary school kids. It's real. I think this is what's happening when we fashion our future to "fit in" to a certain requirement of what we believe will be required of us rather than discover what you can offer the world and then offer it. I think it restricts rather than expand a human soul. I'd say, experience clubs, and organizations, and college, all of it... to see what it reveals about you, not to mold oneself to what's expected. Thanks for opening up this discussion and sharing these insightful tips 😄🧡

    Wow, what a thoughtful and beautifully written comment! Thank you so much for sharing this, Dory. This is really crucial for students to remember. Nothing diminishes our creativity and capacity like comparison. If we could all embody this message, the world would be a far better place.

    I don’t think grades matter much for career but if you ever want to go to grad school they will. :)

    Thanks for your comment! I figured people would have this objection, which is why I state at 0:44 to take care of your GPA if you plan on attending grad school.

    You're right that grades matter less the further you get in your career

    I found this to be an extremely validating video for a student like me. I've never been the best at school, but I still want to gain transferable skills to apply in a nonacademic career. Its true, my GPA will not matter as much for the career I want. I should take this time to build my pyramid! Thank you Stacy!

    I'm so so happy to hear that Malia, this was one of my main intentions with making this video- worrying about grades is honestly a waste of time! Your experiences & skills (specifically marketing them well) is so much more important, and I know you have plenty of those :D
