Advice for Freshmen

  • College is the one time in your life when you can go anywhere, do anything, or be anybody. Take advantage of that.
  • You will never be surrounded by more intelligent, talented, fascinating, caring, or funny people than you will while in college, so seize every opportunity to get to know your fellow students. You will be better off for it.
  • Never accept what is regarded as truth by others as your own until you see or experience it for yourself.
  • As Bill and Ted once said, “Be excellent to each other.”
  • Pull at least one all-nighter.

—Michael Scott, “The Office”

“Me fail English? That’s unpossible!”

—Ralph Wiggum, “The Simpsons”

“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.”
