16.Don't
Pick a Major to Please Your Parents!
For all of you high school juniors and seniors, this
whole major issue is probably coming up more and more,
as applications, parents, aunts and teachers breath
down your neck to know what youāre going to do with
your life. Darra Clark puts things in perspective.

College Roommates
Whether you live in a residence hall, off campus, or
in a fraternity or sorority, you will likely have a
number of different roommates during college, and you
are also likely to have problems with at least one of
your roommates. You shouldn’t think you will be
immune to this problem if you know your roommate ahead
of time. It is often people who know one another who
are most likely to either take advantage of each other,
or fail to communicate adequately when problems do arise.

A Trip Worth Making
It is a known fact that as the spring comes, tension
builds among the seniors. We are forced to find the
right college that will fit us and our needs. And the
colleges are NOT a lot of help with those colorful little
brochures they send, showing us the exact same pictures
on each and that same tree with that same beautiful
girl standing next to it smiling. So, we can't really
rely on that propaganda to help us. Well, have no worries.
I have heard your cry for help and will deliver for
you. Iāll give you a brief rundown of the college visit
to help you decide whether a college visit trip in general
is worth it for you. First stop: Lee University in Cleveland,
Tennessee.

Saving
Up for College

Year, Here I Come
Okay, so it's the end of July. I'm working, hanging

halogen lamps, I'm beginning to believe I've stepped
into an alternate dimension.

They Don't Tell You in the Brochures

Packing
for College
Unless you happen to plan on going to State U in your
town AND living with your parents, college is going
to involve a nasty amount shopping and packing and shopping.
28.
Come
To My Kollege!
College propaganda is written by members of the illustrious
faculty itself (at least that is my uneducated assumption)
and serves as the sole correspondence between students
and colleges until visitation is possible. But then
again, my dear fellow high schoolers, logic is not always
most prevalent in modern-day living.

Student
Diary: Leaving Home
So tomorrow is the big day, right? Well, that's what
everyone tells me. Tomorrow I leave my family, friends,
and everything that I have come to believe and value
as "home." That's right, I'm off to college!
