The Inner Ring

[saudiwin]

For all of us who have just been through a tumultuous application cycle, I wanted to share what I've always thought is a profound graduation speech by the English writer C.S. Lewis. It particularly addresses the cult of "getting in" and the feeling that there is always a higher and more elite circle that we can belong to. I'm not going to Harvard, but even if I was, I bet that I would still feel like there was somewhere I was being left out of.

A great reminder about being grateful for the now!

 

See you all in PhD land --
