For Nick
One of my guys had a course last term that just sank him. It was not his thing. He changed out of it (even though it was part of a series) and is so very much happier. Everything is better.

You can explain away one miserable grade — anyone can make a mistake or get into a course that isn’t a good fit. And, guess what? If this one grade sinks you for Princeton, then join the other 99.9 % of the world, many of whom have delightful lives. It’s a grand universe. Please don’t see only the ants trudging up an anthill endlessly and think that is the only way to be!
