Letter From The Editor Welcome back to school everyone! The start of the school year should be a fun time, filled with new friends, new challenges, and hopefully some new clothes to make hitting the classroom again a bit more appealing. Unfortunately, it has become a source of massive stress for many students. Balancing homework, part-time jobs, and perhaps kids (all while maintaining your Facebook profile) can certainly make you feel like there are not enough hours in the day. It’s true that no one can squeeze everything into their schedule -- but we can fit in the things that are actually meaningful and beneficial to us. Think about it: You have the power to decide how you want to run your life. I would like to note that this is not a normal issue of the Collegian. Our welcome back issue is designed to serve our student readership by providing games, puzzles, and cartoons to get you through the long registration lines. I’m encouraging students, faculty and staff to reach out to me throughout the semester. Share your GPC experiences.
