Write right!
It’s the middle of February, and I’m doing another Honors journal. I’m staying up all night getting these things done, and it’s not worth it. I wrote about this before, but I mean it – DON’T PULL AN ALL NIGHTER. Ever. Just don’t. You won’t get anything coherent done after 4am, and at that point, you’re rushing to get it done. Then you finish an hour and a half before your class, and you are so fed up with it, that you leave important thoughts out.
The way to do these journals is to read the assignment before class, write in your journal, then come to class prepared with what you want to say. It sounds simple. I’ve written five now, and I’m still not doing that. So take my advice, and follow the right procedure.
I want to touch on the subject of Honors courses again. Take them. If you’re not in the Honors Program, find out how to get in. They are the most beneficial classes offered here. If you choose to come here, you’ve chosen a private, Catholic college with class sizes you can’t get at most public schools. These are entirely discussion based, and this is what college is all about. The education you’ll get out of one or two of these courses is going to stay with you for years, and you’ll really be glad you took them.
This month I went to San Diego. I went on a conference with the school newspaper, The Lions’ Pride. I’m the Sports Editor, and I went to four days of workshops on how to create a better sports section. This is just one of the opportunities that Saint Leo offers its students. I’m going back to San Diego in June for a Fraternity Leadership Cruise in Mexico that the school has fully funded. They give so many opportunities to everyone, and anyone can take advantage of them. Don’t think that just because we’re small that we don’t do anything. On the contrary, we’re always doing something. Spring Fling is coming up, where the CAB has provided a concert for us with Everclear, Nina Sky, and Florez. Last year, it was a country band, and they’re trying to appeal to everyone while they’re here. It’s a busy campus, and there’s always something to get involved in.
