Ditch Your Laptop, Dump Your Boyfriend
Advice for freshmen from the people who actually grade their
papers and lead their class discussions.
College is your chance to see what youve been missing, both in
the outside world and within yourself. Use this time to explore as
much as you can.
Take classes in many different subjects before picking your
major. Try lots of different clubs and activities. Make friends with
people who grew up much poorer than you, and others much richer.
Date someone of a different race or religion. (And no, hooking up at a
party doesnt count.) Spend a semester abroad or save up and go
backpacking in Europe or Asia.
Somewhere in your childhood is a gaping hole. Fill this hole. Dont know what classical music is all about? Thats bad. Dont
know who Lady Gaga is? Thats worse. If you were raised in a protected cocoon, this is the time to experience the world beyond.
College is also a chance to learn new things about yourself. Never been much of a leader? Try forming a club or a band.
The best things I did in college all involved explorations like this. I was originally a theater major but by branching out and
taking a math class I discovered I actually liked math, and I enjoyed hanging out with technical people.
By dabbling in leadership I ran the math club and directed a musical I learned how to formulate a vision and persuade
people to join me in bringing it to life. Now Im planning to become an entrepreneur after graduate school. It may seem crazy, but
it was running a dinky club that set me on the path to seeing myself as someone who could run a business.
Try lots of things in college. You never know whats going to stick.
TIM NOVIKOFF, Ph.D. student in applied mathematics at Cornell

Chances are, if you are taking the time to read this advice, you already have the quality necessary to undertake the
intellectual challenges of a college education a seriousness of purpose. What I want to speak to is much more mundane, but it
will make your transition into college easier: amid the thrill and vertigo of change, be kind to and patient with yourself.
Remember to take some time away from campus from the demands of schoolwork and the trappings of the college social
life. Explore the town youre living in. Meet people who are not professors or fellow students. If you spend all of your time on
school grounds, then it becomes too easy for the criticism from an occasional unkind professor or the conflict with a roommate to
take on a monstrous scale. And to let that happen is to suffer from a mistake of emphasis; college should be a part of, but not the
entire scope of, your existence for the next few years.
In Virginia Woolfs novel Mrs. Dalloway, characters are troubled and traumatized by their inability to maintain a proper
sense of proportion; ordinary tasks life itself, for one of the characters become outsized and unmanageable.
I mention this not because I think your situation will be so dire if you dont heed my advice, but mostly because Mrs.
Dalloway is a great read, and I highly recommend it.
WILLIE X. LIN, student in the M.F.A. program in creative writing at Washington University in St. Louis

First-years are under an unbelievable pressure not only to succeed, but to excel in college. They walk into a university already
feeling guilty that they dont know what they want to major in, or what their career path is going to be. But be comfortable with
the fact that you dont know anything. Nobody does.
During my first week in art school, I sat in a dark lecture hall as a professor asked questions I couldnt answer and showed
slides I couldnt identify. I felt as if I was the only one in the room who didnt have a clue. So, when my drawing teacher invited
several of us students to a potluck dinner at her house, I was still worried that I was out of my league. But in this casual setting,
everyone opened up, and I was able to talk about art in the most relaxed and personal way.
As we returned to the dorms in the back of our now-favorite professors pickup truck, I remember looking up at the night sky
and the trees whizzing by and thinking, This is what college is supposed to feel like! Relax and enjoy the ride.
EVAN LaLONDE, student in the M.F.A. program in contemporary art practice at Portland State University

where everyone pretty much knew everyone else. She often told me that she ___________ like doing the

which meant she could go and have her hair and her nails done and still be home before the groceries
arrived! All that changed when she had us children, of course!

he Woman in White by Wilkie Collins was published as a newspaper serial in 1859. In 1860 a collected edition of the
chapters was published in book form. The fictional story is considered to be one of the first mystery novels, as well as
one of the finest.
Walter Hartright, a drawing teacher, is hired to teach the beautiful Laura Fairlie and her half-sister Marian Halcombe.
Laura is a weak creature, heir to the family fortune while Marian is a strong-minded individual. Soon Walter and Laura fall in
love. However, Laura has already promised Sir Percival her hand in marriage. Soon it becomes clear that Sir Percival has
money problems and has his eye on Lauras money. Not a man of honor, Sir Percival and his friend, Count Fosco, plan to get
their hands on the treasure pot.
When Walter and Marian realize that Lauras life is in danger, the two uncover the dastardly scheme in an attempt to
rescue the young bride. Throughout the book, a mysterious lady in white wanders in and out of the story, lonely, dejected
and desperate to meet with Laura.
Even though this is a Victorian novel, it is still gripping, engaging and a page turner. The characters created by Collins are
three dimensional, vivid, intelligent, thought-provoking and sometimes hilarious even by todays standards. The story is not
told in a straight narrative form, but rather in a series of letters, firsthand accounts, diaries, and dispositions by the main
characters, as well as some supporting characters.
Since this novel was first serialized, every chapter ends with a twist to keep the readers coming back, but that is not to
say there arent many twists in the chapters themselves. As a detective novel, the narrative is faithful to the art of
investigation. Walter Hartright, the one who is doing the investigation, doesnt only talk to witnesses, but also minor
characters who can give him the background on those he is investigating.
However, The Woman in White is not only a mystery but also a Gothic romance where a man and a woman give up
almost everything to be together. Collins moves the story precisely, gracefully, and with wonderful prose and a narrative
style which reminded me of Charles Dickens. The plot is complex, twisted, engaging, yet realistic and easy to digest.
One of the most wonderful things about this book is the fantastic supporting cast. Count Fosco, the main villain, is a
Victorian Tony Soprano, with the same charm, body type, and villainous and cunning initiatives. Frederick Fairlie, a
hypochondriac man, had me laughing out loud, as well as the first several appearances of the Italian Professor Pesca.
Even though this The Woman in White might not have been on your high-school or college reading list, it is certainly
worthy of the honor. The book has never been out of print since it was published, and with good reason.

LESSON 27

A So when my parents asked me to come with them on holiday to Spain over New Year. (1) ________________
I felt quite relieved and said yes. I would just have a restful time away. (2) ________________, it turned out to be
the noisiest New Years Eve I can remember.
B (3) ________________, they were the most amazing fireworks I have ever seen. The celebrations carried on
well into the night and our new friends took us with them, showing us traditional Spanish dancing and plying us
with food. It was wonderful. At last I felt I knew what New Years Eve was really about.
C (4) ________________, New Years Eve has always been something of a mystery to me. Why do people make
so much fuss about the change from one day to the next? I do not really enjoy the parties and I have never
properly appreciated the importance of celebrating friendships.
D We went to a restaurant thinking most people would have eaten, but there was nowhere to sit it was
packed. But (5) ________________ a Spanish family made room for us at their table and insisted on involving us
in their celebrations. They explained that at midnight everyone would gather the main square for a huge
firework show and invited us to join them for it.
E We flew to Valencia on 31 December. After booking into our hotel and the Old City, we wandered around the
streets marveling at the beautiful architecture. By nine oclock crowds of people were gathering, singing and
dancing, but (6) ________________ there would be a loud bang at times when someone let off a firecracker and
we would almost jump out of our skins.

LESSON 28
Answer key
C To be honest, New Years Eve has always been something of a mystery to me. Why do people make so much
fuss about the change from one day to the next? I do not really enjoy the parties and I have never properly
appreciated the importance of celebrating friendships.
A So when my parents asked me to come with them on holiday to Spain over New Year. Naturally I felt quite
relieved and said yes. I would just have a restful time away. In fact, it turned out to be the noisiest New Years
Eve I can remember.
E We flew to Valencia on 31 December. After booking into our hotel and the Old City, we wandered around the
streets marveling at the beautiful architecture. By nine oclock crowds of people were gathering, singing and
dancing, but oddly there would be a loud bang at times when someone let off a firecracker and we would almost
jump out of our skins.
D We went to a restaurant thinking most people would have eaten, but there was nowhere to sit it was
packed. But fortunately a Spanish family made room for us at their table and insisted on involving us in their
celebrations. They explained that at midnight everyone would gather the main square for a huge firework show
and invited us to join them for it.
B Actually, they were the most amazing fireworks I have ever seen. The celebrations carried on well into the
night and our new friends took us with them, showing us traditional Spanish dancing and plying us with food. It
was wonderful. At last I felt I knew what New Years Eve was really about.
