Whim would like to take this opportunity to offer some suggestions regarding college life that we have learned along the way. You wouldn't want to come to RU unprepared now would you? Feel free to add your own suggestions in the feedback form below. Good luck!

• Get involved early. RU has over 200 clubs and organizations!
• Don't go home the first (or second) weekend.
• Introduce yourself to your professors. They will remember you when grades come out.
• Procrastination may seem like your friend but like some friends, it may stab you in the back.
• The cafeteria food isn't really that bad. Just in case, Joe's Diner is open 24 hours.
• Don't over pack. Dorm rooms are smaller than they appear.
• Register for class as early as possible.
• Don't live in Muse unless you like climbing stairs for surprise fire drills.
• Always feed the meter. The police will get you and the tickets add up.
• Don't spend more time drinking than you do studying.
• Watch Animal House. Do the opposite.
• Keep track of your drinks and friends in public.
• Save your class withdrawals. You only have 5.
• If you don't have a car, befriend someone who does.
• Free condoms are available at the Student Health Center.
• Take power naps.
• Avoid the "Walk of Shame."
• Save your quarters. They are worth more than face value when it's laundry time.
• Mr. T. says "Drink your milk, fool."
• Join Whim!

Freshmen,

You'll be coming into a 4/5 year event that will completely change your life. Don't expect anything, and don't limit yourself to anything. You can do ANYTHING you want with your life. This isn't high school, so don't cheat on tests. You don't have to go to class if you don't want to, but when you go, take responsibility for your actions. if you skip, you run the risk of missing something. Don't lie your way out of it.

I guess my big point is: Enjoy what you have, and bask in it. If you ever feel lonely, join a club or organization that you can fit into. Whim is particularly cool, because technically, you don't even have to ever meet the people you work with. (although I recommend that you do). Whim changed my life, and it'll change yours too. College was the best thing that happened to me, and Whim was a big part of that.
