Welcome to February.

Hello everyone, happy February!

I'd like to start this post off with a quote from author and syndicated cartoonist Ashleigh Brilliant who says, "My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot." Have you ever wondered about life's purpose? Or about what the whole point is? I would like to argue that the answer to these questions doesn't really matter, and the more time we spend trying to find the solution, the more of life we let pass us by.

Coming to college is a huge life experience. No matter what stage you're at in your academic career, chances are you're still trying to figure out exactly what you want out of life and your future. You're probably still trying to find yourself and at times worry about how others view you. The University is so extremely large and the number of activites, sports, and various opportunities for you to immerse yourself in are innumerable. Sometimes, in the process of trying to find yourself, you lose yourself. I want to stress how important it is for all of us to be true to who we are. Fill your time with self-reflection, physical activity, studying, and that superb cast that accepts you for the wonderful person you are. As cheesy as it may sound, let your inner light shine-it'll make the world a brighter place.

Peace, happiness, and...warmth,
