In the first Eastern Echo of the semester, we asked students to consider the ideal semester. Whether that ideal semester included stellar grades or making a positive impact in someone's personal life, we asked students to settle on a goal and pursue it. Now, more than three months later, the results of our toil are becoming evident.
Some students stare with long faces into a future that they know is bleaker for their laziness.
Other students look on equally bleak futures and turn their backs. It never hurts not to care. We hope you aren't one of these students, the ones who wasted another chance. Yes, there are many among us who opened more beer cans than books. But there are also many among us who seized the opportunity to make something of this semester.
