Tell It Like It Is

Hey–if you go to Hamilton, don’t walk across the bronze map.

Know what else? When you go for a semester abroad, don’t get caught in a nation where an international epidemic forces your semester to encounter an emergency ending and forces you to lose two valuable credits due to the cancellation of the summer semester.

Join a sorority or fraternity. Your life will be easier.

Invest some serious money in buying clothes at J.Crew.

Also, AA is not something you join after an intervention from friends – it stands for Adirondack Adventure, a fabulous outdoor opportunity for pre-frosh that definitely is worth taking advantage of.

To get around: “The Jitney offers all the amenities of a crowded 12-passenger van driven by psychotic upperclassmen with the comfort of sharing a seat with a drunken freshman girl who needs that open window now.”
