Dg Ate! High school is to prom, Student Council and spitballs, as college is to 1?! That blank is left for you to fill in yourself. For college means different things to each indi- vidual person. Yet, most young and eager high school grads would fill in that blank with the same words: Livin’ it up! Realistically speaking, college is a place where a student retreats from the world for about four years. Independence becomes a household word (or in most cases, dormhold word?!?) for everyone that survives the dorm shuffle, the registration ugh’s and book- buying blah’s. Mom and Dad either ooze back into your hometown and become available only for ex- tra funds or (if you’re so lucky) pop up with the camera and date-nut bread at the most uncompromising times. Either way, in most cases your not actually living with them any- more! Yet, although you’ve escaped the teenage trials, the “real world” is still out there some- where in the college senioritis twilight zone. So in this “limbo” period that someone in history donned as “college” becomes simply a time to prepare for that journey towards the “real world.” And nowhere is it stated that you can’t have a darn good time on your trip! As we proceed into our chapters of memo- ries, let’s first look at the things that brought you to NLU besides the curriculum. See for yourself how Northeast can live it up, side by side.

Here at NLU, we work along side people who’s friendship we may treasure for all of our lives.
