PEOPLE ABOUT TO HEAD TO COLLEGE FOR THE FIRST TIME: First off, get ready for awesomeness. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, a warning: I noticed a paradox relating to college. I constantly hear things like, savor college, its the best years of your life or My best memories are from college And yet, a phrase I heard a lot while at college was, I cant remember what I did last night. Make sure you make college a bundle of fonds memories and lasting relationships, not a jumble of half-remembered nights and decisions you regret. Now while I am a conservative milk-drinker, I recognize that not everyone is a conservative milk-drinker. People party at college. Thats how it goes. But just be smart about it. Be safe. Dont be the kid getting carted off in an ambulance the first week. (also if youre USC Columbia-bound, come to the free weekend movies in the Carolina Theater, Ill be there to swipe your Carolina Card and say hi [and give you free popcorn on Thursdays, theres free popcorn on Thursdays, so thats good])
