That's right, I am a super senior. But you know what they say, "Graduating in four years is like leaving the party at 10 p.m.; sure, it may be responsible, but it's not near as much fun."

Published Nov 29, 2005

Many students wake up an hour earlier than necessary to compete for parking spaces, while others complain that parking shortages should be a top priority on the university's agenda.In the midst of these complaints, students fail to take advantage of the opportunity to use public transportation free of charge.

Although students take for granted the luxuries TCU provides with something as simple as the TCU identification card, like the free bus fare, Sodexho employees will now have the chance to pick up the slack.

Students should keep number of activities under control

Published Nov 29, 2005

In the past I've advocated getting involved in campus organizations while at TCU.It's a great way to make new friends, explore areas of interest, take a break from classes, get a little recreation and maybe even serve the TCU community in some way.

But you should be careful about spreading yourself too thin.

Getting involved in too much can be just as detrimental to the overall college experience as not getting involved at all.
