Sit down with a copy of the course catalog one evening when you’ve got nothing planned. Pour a glass of lemonade and start browsing for all the cool things you can study! Download the colleges “Study abroad” options and start fantasizing about spending junior year in Tokyo studying Japanese art or London studying theater or Prague studying chamber music or Florence learning about Renaissance history. Walk through the “student activities” website, read a few back issues of the campus newspaper.
You don’t have to be chomping at the bit to get to college in order to be excited (just a tiny bit) about all the new possibilities for your life!
