GETTING OLDER,
GETTING WISER
Asking Isla Vista's oldest residents: What would you tell your 21-year-old self?
Bill Cropley:
“Don’t be so serious about everything. Everything’s not a matter of humungous consequences if you make the wrong decision. Experiment. Make a lot of wrong decisions because when you do, you learn from those wrong decisions, and then you’re going to end up making the right decision.”
Jane Kohler:
“Woman to woman, try your best to work out a balance, so that you can be there for some of the important stuff...because you'll never regret it.
John Grable:
“Treat people with kindness and respect, treat people the way you want to be treated. That's a big one. I wasn't so good at that when I was younger.
Beverly Eastwood:
"My advice is, if something's in front of you, jump on it and do it, because it won't come around again."
Joyce Raimer:
“Find something that they find joy in, so that whatever they choose, they're doing it because they love it."
Judy Hughes:
“Make sure you're taking care of yourself. Have fun, make those memories. Don't wait until you're married to make your memories. Don't try to rush into them all now.
Ananda Dalidd:
“Enjoy as though today was your last day on Earth. Because you don't know what's going to happen after you leave this place."
