...very bad thing. For instance, it's easy to get discouraged with Harvard's social life. Some first-years are lucky enough to land in an entryway full of friends who feel like they've known each other forever, or at the very least are interested in getting to know each other. Some go out for a sport and find their one true passion--along with an insta-bonded group of people who share that passion. If that's you, milk...
...already. Snap out of it. First of all, that's a myth. I have several friends who have yet to get their first B--and one of them just graduated.

Of course you can be flexible, but if you know the hosts chances are you will know someone else, and you will at least have someone to talk to and can avoid feeling like you're crashing...
...Most upperclass students will tell you they've found their homes in extracurriculars. But on registration day, you'll see just how many choices await you as you're shamelessly badgered by leaders of each and every organization in the jam-packed tent outside Sever. I honestly don't know the best way to choose, but I can tell you what did and didn't work...
