What are you waiting for? You only have a few chances left to take that Shakespeare, archeology or sex dducation class everyone said was so amazing. During senior year, you'll be able to get into any class you like because students that have been at school the longest have priority. You probably gave up on taking this course a long time ago because you figured it wasn't that big a deal and was too much work to fight your way in. It is a good idea to reconsider though, because you only have one chance to be a student at your university. You might as well take exactly those classes that you pointed to with excitement the first day. Add the class even if it means having a heavier load or staying an extra quarter. In the long run, the couple of extra months will not affect your future, but they will affect your memory of your college experience. Don't miss out.

Remember when you were first researching your new home. You noticed all the places the city had to offer, such as great museums, cool parks, historic landmarks, and great theaters. During this last year in town, take the time to finally experience all those things you were so anxious to do and see. Go to one of the better-known restaurants in town. Visit the recently hatched Monarch Butterflies. Take a hike through the botanical gardens. Stroll through the museum with a friend. Have your picture taken in front of City Hall. You may think you will visit plenty of times after you graduate, but life has a way of getting in the way. Seize the time you have now to fully take advantage of your school's home town.

Year after year, you have been hearing about the incredible theater program at your school, a famous orchestra and dance group came to visit last year, and your favorite senator made a speech in the school square. You missed it all because you were studying or invited to hang out with friends. This year, make a point to attend one school event per semester. See a play, hear a speech, and attend a festival. This is probably the only time in your life you'll have such a thriving arts community at your disposal. Expose yourself to a little bit of culture and a little bit of community before going on to the working world. Later in life, you'll be wishing you had the time and access to everything that is brought right to your front door while you are at school.
