Always be you. Always. 

I always tell my customers to bring props. I don't mean pillars or a big CLASS OF 2023 sign. I mean things that make you YOU. 

And then I wait to see what that means. 

For Anton that meant a couple of great fedoras, some Magic the Gathering items, anime books, a fun blanket, and the best TARDIS suit coat I've seen so far!

As a fellow nerd I truly appreciated that Anton brought the things that mean a lot to him. Headphones and his gaming controller added a nice touch to show people what he's interested in. 

I have heard a lot of people in the past say, "But I don't play sports!" and I'm here to tell you that we don't need jerseys and footballs!  I love when people bring their drumsticks, guitars, horns, too!

I know that I express this often, however, I think it is worth repeating. You don't have to dress like your classmates. You don't have to choose the same location everyone else is using. You don't have to go get new clothes. 

Be yourself.
