VIDEO: David Foster Wallace graduation speech is the best thing you'll see today

David Foster Wallace was a critically-renowned American novelist who tragically hanged himself in 2008. Three years before committing suicide, Wallace delivered a commencement address at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Though the speech didn't garner much attention until after Wallace's death, his "This Is Water" address has always offered a poignant, enlightening message about adulthood and self-awareness.
