DECEMBER 1992 rut THE FULL MOON Features EDITOR: CHRISTY BROOKS PAGE 2 Inside Advice from a Has-Been By Christy Hendrick Over the Thanksgiving holidays, I had the opportunity to interview Courtney Brown, former tda.\atolTheFullMoon and currently a freshman at Carolina. Courtney has some definite advice for seniors headed to college next fall. Courtney insists that college is in many ways very different than high school. The biggest difference is studying! According to Courtney, it is extremely important that you learn to study before venturing off to school. Classes are much harder and it is necessary to spend much of your free time studying. Courmey admits the amount of studying doesn’t always reflect your grade. For example, Courtney spent many hours studying for a calculus test, and his grade wasn t to his satisfaction. Another difference of coUege is that classes are not mandatory. If you do not want to go to a certain class, Courtney advises you to “blow it off’. He says the key is just to make sure not to miss the same class aU the time. The responsibility of being a college student is also a big change from high school No one is there to tell you to study or remind you of a test. After the studying and being responsible, howerer, is the social life. Courtney admits that this is often the best part of Carolina. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights are the nights that everyone goes out These times make up for all the demands ofclasses. However, Courmey says, you may want to procure an ID before you arrive on campus. Courmey says that there are many types of different people at Carolina, and be prepared for a different lifestyle at any college.
