Top 10 List: Words to the Wise
For the benefit of the incoming class, members of the Class of 2009 have kindly compiled the following "words to the wise"


The Top 10 "Things I Would Have Done Differently on R-Day"

  1. I would have worn shoes I could run in.
  2. I would not have worn a shirt that said Superman.
  3. I would not have brought 6 suitcases…just more underwear.
  4. I would not have let my mom call me “pumpkin” in front of the 2/C.
  5. I would not have boasted about how many pushups I could do.
  6. I would have learned how to get "in step" faster.
  7. I would have shaved my mullet.
  8. I would have doubly reinforced my weak suitcase handle with more duct tape.
  9. I would have given my girlfriend her goodbye kiss before arriving to check in.
  10. I would have eaten a good meal and drank plenty of water before reporting.
