Little moments make up important memories
In college these days, everyone always seems to be working towards some sort of end goal, be it medical school or law school with a solid career post-graduation. We are always on a constant search for internships, to lead clubs and build resumes that will enable us to get to where we think we need to be. But it is important for us to remember that in the midst of all our scrambles for success lies one overarching goal, and that is simply to learn.
So, onwards into a new year, lads and lasses, and remember that knowledge is often found where we least expect it. Our glory days of college (and of life in general) are comprised not necessarily of big events, but of the little things in between, of reading on the Horseshoe between classes or chatting with strangers on the steps of Cool Beans, of nights spent sneaking onto the roof of the business building, or that one life-changing professor we got to know really well because we went to office hours.
So whether you are a freshman trying to decide on a major or a senior trying to apply for jobs, remember that there is not always a finish line, and it's not always about who can get to the end the fastest. Sometimes, what matters the most is what we pick up along the way, and that, perhaps, will lead us to where we need to be.
