When I was a freshman, a very important friend of mine who was graduating wrote me a letter before she left. It detailed the ins and outs of college and gave insight on how to navigate through the highs and lows I'd inevitably face.
Before this year's spring break, the last vacation I'd been on that I could remember was to Puerto Rico when I was 7 years old. I spent the week having my hair braided by local women and playing with a Beanie Baby parrot that my mom bought me at the hotel gift shop, which I cried hysterically over after an overzealous playmate snapped off its TY tag in the heat of an argument. Needless to say, I was wholly unprepared for the booty-shaking, tequila-shotting, banana-boating sin that was rumored to ensue on the Xtreme Trips getaway my friends and I planned to attend this year. In our senior year, my pledge class is a group of 13 girls who've been friends since we were freshmen.

If William Missouri Downs had been a bit older and more familiar with New York City, he probably would not have gotten lost on that fateful night 33 years ago.
Kurtis Sprung was only 3 years old when he began to dance. When most other toddlers were running around on the playground, Sprung was honing his own dance skills, tackling genres like ballet, rap, jazz and gymnastics, just to name a few. Today at 19, the sophomore dance and math major competed in countless dance competitions, winning the title of Mr. Dance of New York twice and finishing in the top five both times he participated in Mr. Dance of America. Although some might use these accomplishments as an excuse to slack off, Sprung only uses his successes as fuel to improve.
