Back to Class
My stepsister Gabrielle just graduated from college. So for the first time in 17-years, she’s not in back-to-school mode.
No shopping for clothes, no book-buying, no scheduling classes that don’t start too early.
It’s the strangest feeling, she says, wanting to get ready for class, but not needing to. My advice, go buy some new clothes anyway. You’ve earned them.
But what about thousands of students yet to graduate from college. I want to know your back-to-school rituals. How do you get ready for the fall semester?
It’s been a long time since I was in college, but one of my best pre-semester moves was to give my schedule of classes a walk-through. That way I’d know if I really could get from the science building to the liberal arts building in 10 minutes. Also, nobody wants to be the geek frantically unfolding their campus map on the first day.
I’m planning a story with some back-to-school tips so I want to hear all about your ideas. And I’m sure there are more than a few freshmen, and their parents, who’d like your advice.
