College, and school in general, is a strange game indeed. Probably the only way to get through it unscathed (or with minor scars) is with an intense amount of perspective, that is, not taking it too seriously. If you mold your very being around "winning" at school, you are probably hurting your ability to win at life -- to be successful or even fulfilled.

I wish I knew then what I know now, but I hope to teach my kids healthy priorities and time management skills.
