Now, I’d like to use this column as a chance to put all of those experiences to good use, whether that means sharing basic tips on class selection (Orgo: no; Positive Psych: yes) or letting you know the best way to cope with the roach colony in your shower (just suck it up, they’re here to stay...

Between classes, students often take advantage of the cafeteria on the second floor, the comfortable library couches for a nap, or the chance to guinea pig themselves in psych experiments for petty cash. Most of the professors have been around the department for quite a while and will act like over-excited puppies if you show up at their office hours. Professor Peter V.
