The thrill of getting is fleeting. The joy of giving lasts. Data: happiness fades quickly when we buy gifts for ourselves, but sustains when we give gifts to others or donate to charity. Giving is the greatest source of meaning. #GivingTuesday

“If I make this choice and I do not get into the college(s) that I am hoping to, will I still be glad I made it?” You can never go wrong being true to yourself.
