This is Amrisha Vohra’s answer (read About Amrisha below). It does seem as though she had been reading the same Commencement addresses that I had. She lists what might have very well been the speakers’ words of advice as to what she is supposed to do with her life in her twenties, clichés all:

1. Make mistakes. Learn from them.
2. Dare to fall in love.
3. Take risks.
4. Learn something new.
5. Live alone at-least for some time.
6. Travel alone.
7. Make friends with people who are of different age, culture, speak a different language and are much different than you are.
8. Learn the importance of saving.
9. Join a cause you are passionate about. Stick to it!
10. Read a lot! write a lot!
11. Love your parents! Spend quality time with your family.
