Convocation was hardly the first time I have been confronted by an onslaught of advice. Throughout the entire college application process, from essays to decisions to transitions, advice runs rampant.

We should receive advice with intention and appreciation — not from infographics and self-help books. Let us use advice as a good deed for those we care about.
