This week we are sharing advice for graduates from some of our friends. Today, Kate Kennedy from the Be There In Five podcast shares a piece of wisdom that is hard to grasp when you’re in school: grades don’t always matter, what teachers tell you is success isn’t always right, and you should spend your adult life defining your own definition of success.

If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren’t okay and never will be! But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we’re bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we’ll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll.
