Well, it’s finally here, my last semester as an undergraduate at the University of New Haven.
When I took my first steps onto campus four years, ago I never thought I’d be sitting here writing weekly editorials as the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper. Freshman year seemed never-ending, probably because events were always going on at each hour of the day. The next three years snuck up on me, and I find myself wondering where all the time went.
So, for the last time, I say “Welcome back, UNH.” Hopefully everyone was able to have a relaxing winter break and, if possible, take a vacation somewhere sunny and warm. Whether you are a freshman excited for your second semester at UNH or a senior preparing to graduate this upcoming May, be sure to take advantage of everything UNH has to offer. The Spring semester, in particular, has some of the best events of the year, like the Spring Concert and Carnival. Yes, sitting in your cozy dorm room with Netflix, friends and a bowl of popcorn may sound tempting, but these are moments you’ll regret missing.
This could also be a semester to branch out and join a new organization. Attend a Gaming Club meeting, sign up for an off campus trip with SCOPE, try out for the school musical, rush a fraternity or sorority, or write for the newspaper *wink, wink*. Getting yourself involved with UNH RSOs will make your college experience worthwhile.
