The 9 Things Every New Graduate Should Know Book

$ 18.00

DESCRIPTION

From Brianna Wiest — internationally bestselling author of The Mountain Is You, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, The Pivot Year, and more. Her books have sold over 1 million copies worldwide, appear regularly on international bestseller lists, and are translated into more than 40 languages.

In May 2024, Brianna Wiest returned to Elizabethtown College to deliver the commencement address to its graduating class. "The 9 Things Every Graduate Should Know" is that speech, transcribed and designed as a book: nine lessons she wishes she had known at the moment of her own beginning, written to an audience of one — the version of herself standing on exactly that threshold.

This is a short, beautifully designed book — transcribed speech, typographically presented, the kind of object that reads in a single sitting and stays with you for years. It makes an ideal gift for anyone graduating, transitioning, or standing at any threshold and asking what comes next.

I’ve been in a handful of times to get permanent jewellery and it’s been delightful. Ella is the best, she’s so patient, kind, and very helpful ! I have been working with them for a little over a year now, and there’s no other place I’d rather go to. I definitely recommend especially if you are obsessed with gold. Winfred Grace has gorgeous pieces.

Every time I come here I am not only welcomed by the staff that works there but feeling like I can explore the space without feeling "sold to". The quality of their products are truly worth the price that comes with it. I sleep and shower in many pieces of jewelry from them and the only time I have issues of breakage is due to my own clumsy self. They are so kind enough to have someone there to help with repairs for jewelry you purchased there. If I could give 100 stars I would. You will definitely find quality pieces here.

Shopping local is just easier and more fun when it's at this shop. I just went by today to look for a top and left with... new winter gloves, 2 outfits and 2 accessory birthday gifts for family. Karen was working and couldn't have been MORE HELPFUL and more patient as I tried on all of my options! It was such a pleasant experience and once again, proved to be my favorite little Chicago shopping spot.

Twice in a row, I have gone all over town looking for a special but not too expensive wedding guest dress. Both times I have immediately found what I was looking for here! In the future I will spare myself the trouble and just come here first. Beautiful store with a good mix of casual and more special clothing. I also like the selection of accessories.

A while ago I actually purchased a permanent bracelet here but recently will be starting a new job where I cannot wear it. I called the day of and Nicolas was able to accommodate me as a walk-in ! I was kinda set on turning my bracelet into an anklet because I absolutely loved it so much, but he recommended I put a clasp on it! Which I personally didn’t even think was an option! He took great attention to detail when re-welding my jewelry and made sure it was absolutely perfect before I left the chair! I definitely will be back to get a permanent anklet!

Absolutely quality service here! I recently came to Winifred Grace with my boyfriend to receive permanent bracelets for our 1 year anniversary. Unfortunately, my bracelet fell off and I was heartbroken since it was such a special gift.

Luckily, I spoke to Nicholas and was extremely helpful and kind about the situation. I was able to come back and receive help right away. Stellar service and amazing staff. I would absolutely recommend Winifred Grace to anyone who is looking for a special gift accompanied with a kind staff!! :)
