1. You may think you’re on top of your gome, but you’re not. During the first semester of my freshman year, a classmate told me she was already behind in her classes by one year. At first, I could not figure out how that was humanly possible, but the longer I studied here, the more 1 understood. If you haven’t had the luxury of going to your school adviser and being told “you won’t graduate in four years,” you’re clearly missing out on the thrill. I am eagerly awaiting the entail the day before graduation that informs me I have one class left to take. 2. Don’t ever buy something with expectations of returning it. 1 low Temple’s bookstore can sell us books for General Education courses (I'm l x king at you. Mosaics) and refuse to buy them back is still an enigma to me. ’litis September, my friend and I were discussing his most recent reading assignment. Vaccination Against Smallpox by Edward Jcnncr. That book has been sitting in my closet since 2012. 3. The world is a dangerous place. Muggings, thefts, guns, bricks. You know what I’m talking about. 4. Nothing is free. Do you see that delicious soft pretzel on that random organization’s table? Do you want one? Give them your email address so they can harass you once a week every week until you graduate. Oh. what about those “free” pens? You paid SI5,000 for Temple to fund that purchase. You basically paid SI5,000 for that pen. Go take one. It’s your right. 5. Around every corner is an opportunity. Temple’s writing center in Tuttleman ofTcrs essay reviews. The Career Center critiques resumes and prepares you for job interviews. Palcy Library has any reference material you’d ever need to write that paper you’ve been avoiding Media Services located below Palcy is loaded with hundreds of movies, new and old, for you to rent anytime. Student Health Services gets you an appointment faster than your family doctor when you’re absolutely convinced you’ve contracted a deadly disease. Don’t lx: like me. Take advantage of these extremely convenient and helpful services. After all. you’re already paying for them. WRITTEN BY GINA VILLECCO

Ever wonder what “Temple Made” really means? Take a walk through Temple University’s campus and you will see an endless amount of T-shirts, hatsand signs displaying the slogan “Temple Made.” This campaign started in 2012 to bring awareness to the university in hopes of boosting admission rates. I find myself referencing “tfTempleMade” too often, which is only one of the things this school has done to me. I started at Temple in the fall of 2011 and 1 loved (almost) every minute of it. It is impossible to summarize my college career in a couple of sentences, but let’s just say it was a wild ride. For those Temple Owls who can relate, here are five life lessons that Temple University hits taught me: iMtifiwMiaa—
