| Message From The President: |
| Enough!!! It seems as if that�s the only thing that I have been hearing my friends and myself say lately. We are simply exhausted. How much more can we take? It seems as if we are so close to the end of the school year, but it is never close enough. Even when we have a short vacation from school and we get to go away, we don�t really have a vacation. Think about it: what do you pack with you? A couple of outfits, your toothbrush, toothpaste, a couple pairs of extra socks and..... the readings you have to catch up with in your are psychology class, since until know you were trying to catch up with multivariable calculus and trying to memorize reactions and formulas for organic chemistry. After all this you just want to sit, take a deep breath and let your mind wonder off. So, why can�t we do it in midst of the midterms� craziness? Because if we do, we will not want to leave our imaginary heaven and come back to the world of stress and deadlines. But we must look deeper within ourselves and try to gather all the strength we can. Our friends and colleagues are in similar situations as you and me, and we all need each other to support one another. An encouraging word or a simple smile can mean a lot when you see no alternatives. Soon the academic year is over and some of us will be graduating and moving to graduate schools or entering the professional field. The thought of having a friend to turn to when you see no alternatives, is the most comforting thing one can have. So once again I am taking this chance to thank my friends: thank you for being there for me for the past three years and making my college experience pleasant. I am ceratin that I would have not enjoyed my time here as much as I did if it wasn�t for you. So...THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! Hagit Sedaghat-pour, President.
