FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
This is now: Just do it
Here's a trick to remembering the moment and preserving the "this
is now"--live life to the fullest. Schedule yourself time for healthy
necessities this semester (eating, sleeping, studying), but don't fall into a routine. Learn to say "yes," whether you
feel like it or not. Always go when your friends invite you to do something.
You'll look back fondly on a crazy night on South St., but you probably
won't remember the night you spent with your Friends DVD collection.
The same thing goes for eating at the cafeteria by yourself versus eating
ramen in your room; and signing up for activities even when you think
you already have too much class work to do. I say this at the risk of
sounding like Chicken Soup for the College Kid's Soul because
my biggest regret about college is that I waited too long to get involved
and make memories. Trust me, you'll kick yourself later if you don't.
