Leapin’ lizards! There’s no leap year this year?!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

No Feb 29th<\/sup> this year. No leap year. So to honor not the 29th<\/sup>, here are 29 tweets with tips & tidbits from Carpe College.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

#1. \u201cFollow your bliss.\u201d \u2013 Joseph Campbell<\/p>\n

#2. The Carpe College Mantra: Know thyself, have a plan, and assume no one else cares.<\/p>\n

#3. Start dreaming your own dreams, rather than those of your parents<\/p>\n

#4. Distinguish between opportunities and distractions<\/p>\n

#5. Learn to trust yourself, to forgive yourself, to get back on your horse and take some more risk.<\/p>\n

#6. Reflect seriously and often on the question: \u201cWho am I, where am I going, why and how?\u201d<\/p>\n

#7. Rich opportunities abound at college. You must be ACTIVE & INTENTIONAL to get the most out of them. Tune in. Show up. Be present.<\/p>\n

#8. You can sit passively and watch the world go by rather than being a part of it. Do yourself a favor: choose to be a part of it!<\/p>\n

#9. Don\u2019t Touch It or Borrow It Without Asking! Not her snacks. Not his laptop. Not her favorite top. Not his Frisbee. No, no, no\u2026..<\/p>\n

#10. At 18, how do you know what you love unless you try lots of stuff? Your campus is your laboratory to find your passion, find yourself.<\/p>\n

#11. Every time you plan your week, study, work on a team, you are honing important skills that will be marketable in the workforce.<\/p>\n

#12. \u201cI never let schooling get in the way of my education.\u201d – Mark Twain<\/p>\n

#13. The surest way to create roommate tension is bad alarm clock management. Sleep through your alarm or slap the snooze, there\u2019s trouble.<\/p>\n

#14. Best way to answer alarm = get on your feet as soon as possible. Best way to get to your feet = place your alarm across the room.<\/p>\n

#15. Invite people into your dorm room at least once a month. That way, you and your roommate(s) will clean your room at least that often.<\/p>\n

#16. Don\u2019t assume you \u2018think\u2019 you know where you stand in class. Your perception (and math) may be different from professor. Check in!<\/p>\n

#17. Use school breaks to shadow professionals. Get names, send email, make appointments BEFORE break. A nice complement to internships.<\/p>\n

#18. Use one of your t-shirts as an eye mask and ear muffler to help you sleep. Here\u2019s a video: https:\/\/carpecollege.com\/?p=866<\/a><\/p>\n

#19. When in your dorm room, leave your door open. This sends a message to all that you\u2019re open to meeting new people.<\/p>\n

#20. When walking on campus, keep your eyes up, make eye contact with others, and smile. (Lose headphones to be accessible to others!)<\/p>\n

#21. Join roommate for meal at least 1x\/week. This helps cultivate relationship & prevent trouble spots \u2018cause they\u2019re aired out quickly.<\/p>\n

#22. Introduce yourself to EACH professor. Cultivates relationships, research opportunities, recommendations & long-term mentors.<\/p>\n

#23. Once a month, pick campus activity out of your comfort zone. Participate & expand your horizons. (30+ for whole college career)<\/p>\n

#24. Reach across the aisle\u2026 In each class, introduce yourself to any student. You\u2019ll meet more people & find more study partners.<\/p>\n

#25. \u201cSemper ubi sub ubi.\u201d (Always wear underwear \u2013 LOOSELY translated Latin!)<\/p>\n

#26. Baz Luhrmann: life is \u201ccircus run like an army.\u201d Perfect amalgam for thinker, creator, doer \u2013 3 requirements for any college student.<\/p>\n

#27. Healthy body=healthy mind<\/p>\n

#28. A success formula: F3=Fix It, Forgive & Forge Ahead. Apply to both academic and non-academic life. Apply to both yourself & friends.<\/p>\n

#29. It\u2019s YOUR journey. Ask who am I, where do I want to go & how would I like to get there? Enjoy your path. Don\u2019t covet paths of others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
