Learning how to leave your legacy
Throughout my adolescence, I accumulated a distinct picture of the "true" college experience. My cousin taught me that college girls were "easy and loose for an ear and a masseuse."

I'm not really sure why I chose to apply or attend UR. My reasons at the time were lame and flimsy, and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I asked the Admissions Office a few questions, but they weren't very truthful; then again, I probably asked the wrong […]
"Bad" college habits help a UR student survive
