16 Things to Remember at College
Advice for my daughter: Do talk to your professors outside of class. Do notice the way the sky changes color. Don’t get too drunk.

Always drink two drinks fewer than you think you want to. You will get more joy out of life if you are alert to it, before that second-to-last drink, when the evening gets slurred. If, you lose those lovely, wild moments. You basically miss them. If you master the art of getting just-the-right-amount drunk, you will have more fun.
