Embrace every moment and opportunity. In retrospect, 4 years seems like a long time, but it'll go by much faster than you would have ever anticipated. You don't want to be the person looking back on your college experience wishing you had done more, so do it all while you can. Get involved in clubs, find and join organizations you feel passionate about, go on the late night pizza run(s) with your friends, take advantage of RecWell, go to the sports games...DO IT ALL. Take it all in, and really appreciate it. These are the memories that last a lifetime. While you're living it, the 4 years seem so long, but one day you'll wish the time would have passed slower. The days that once seemed so lengthy and stressful become nothing but distant memories to look back on. It's up to you to decide how many of those memories you'll make and whether or not you'll be able to look back on them fondly.
Favorite Location/Tradition: The superstition(s) of walking under the belltower. It is said that if you walk under the belltower, you won't graduate in 4 years. The superstition is taken so seriously that even the Starship robots on campus are programmed to go around the belltower instead of under it. It's also said that if you kiss your significant other under the belltower, you will get married.
