...find any friends, because everyone who tries, does. And this "trying" doesn't mean you need to harass everyone who smiles at you--just remember that if there's a choice between silence and saying hello in the friendly first weeks of your first year, say hello. Except to people in Cabot Library. They sometimes bite when disturbed. And, if you're determined--like I was--to make the very most out of your Golden Ticket, remember that you haven't made the most out of Harvard University if you come out book-smarter but otherwise unchanged.
