“Good Morning Sexy Readers!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another sexy term, a brand new year, and for some of our fantastic new first-years, a whole new life awaits! Greetings and welcome to the school filled with the sexiest people alive. I am Chad Sexington, haunt of the satire and randomosity page. Pourer of maple-flavored wisdom and lumberjack lore, many of you will stop reading now, but wait, for within these words is contained the knowledge of years collected by manly lumberjacks since the dawn of time itself. \u00a0Everyone knows that it isn\u2019t easy coming to a new city, let alone a new school. Things you once knew are gone, lost in the pile of \u201cback home I had ___ and knew ___\u201d nostalgia that everyone keeps locked in their closet of memories. \u00a0But fear not,\u00a0 it is a tough time starting from scratch, and many of you may think that you are at level 0 of a social support structure, but soon you will realize just how rich you are. For to think you are defeated is to make it so.\u00a0 And now, in the style of my usual old-timey man ramblings, allow me to dispense what the satire column usually holds for you during the frosh issue of the IW: my version of what I wish I had known when I arrived here. So without further adieu, I present: Chad Sexingtons Seven Simple Suggestions for Starting School.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Study in a way that works for you. <\/strong> You\u2019re going to meet all kinds of people here, and some of those people are like the savant\u2019s of lore, who can read something once and recall it indefinitely. They understand everything the first time, and have no need to spend hours in the library practicing questions and memorizing things.\u00a0 Chances are, you are not this person.\u00a0 Study and learn in a way that works for you. Ask for help. If you learn better by reading the notes, do it. If you learn best by listening to your prof, get someone to take notes for you (buying them coffee can help). Get a support group. Most assignments are impossible to do by yourself, so a study-buddy or 5 is one of the best investments you can make to save yourself from banging your head on the desk.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This isn\u2019t High School.<\/strong> You are not a special unique flower.\u00a0Self motivation is the skill that causes more people to fail than any other. People can preach this until they\u2019re blue in the face and say it until they sound like a tree chipper grinding up a tough spruce, but some of you are never going to learn until you learn the hard way.\u00a0\u00a0 You can\u2019t study for 15 minutes and expect to pass. You can\u2019t hand things in whenever you feel like it. \u00a0You can\u2019t wait for someone to remind you to read your notes. Nobody is going to get on your ass to do your homework. You\u2019re going to need to learn to grow up and motivate yourself quick, or you\u2019re going to get left behind and nobody is going to save you, because as much as Engineering is a family, it\u2019s also a cutthroat competition. Everyone else that is here had to pass the same entry requirements as you, so they\u2019re at least as competent, if not more so that you are.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Remember not to panic, and..<\/p>\n

Until next time,<\/p>\n

Stay Sexy.”<\/p>\n
