The time you spend in college will be over before you know it, so enjoy it while you still can. We encourage students to rub their eyes and take a brave step out of their rooms. There is plenty to do during the last few weeks of the spring 2001 semester. From free movies on Friday nights in the WC Morris Auditorium to orchestra and band concerts in Hendricks Hall, the activities don t stop before graduation. Perhaps students who pack their stuff up in a suitcase and head home every weekend should think about staying on campus for a weekend or two.
Students live at home all throughout school, up until college.
Another reason to stay on campus on weekends is that you can fully enjoy your life as a college student. You must learn to break free from their clutches. Driving home every weekend to do your laundry and hang out with your high school friends is fine, but sooner than later, you will be out in the real world living on your own, and it will be much more difficult to adjust to full independence and responsibility. If you are graduating this semester, you are probably already well aware of the sharp contrast between college life and the real world. You probably already know you should try to enjoy your limited time as a student.
