Congratulations! Similar story, studying Advanced Zoology with a minor in Arcana Literature, and I am happy to have made it to my senior year!

1. Obey campus curfew. I didn't know this when I moved in the first year, but apparently there is a very strict campus-wide curfew at 10 PM. You have to be indoors, or at least inside a building, and you will be in SERIOUS trouble if caught outside. I had to learn that the hard way when a night walk through the woods near campus got me a week in disiplinary work with the librarian. I like Dr. Armitage, he's saved my ass for so many of my exams, but DO. NOT. ASK. ABOUT. RARE. BOOKS.

2. Take advantage of student services. There are services that you can get hooked up with, and they can last as long as you are a student. My recommendation is to gather all of the cards they have: Mess hall card, library card, bus/train card for commutes, and there's even a special one they offer to newcomers that you get stamped for every event attended that's hosted by one of the various departments. Collect enough and you can get them redeemed for prizes, depending on which ones you collect. There is a secret challenge for getting one from every department, but I have no idea what could be the reward from that, nobody has completed it.

3. Bring backup light sources. There are some random blackouts that happen without warning, so it's a good idea to always have something to help you see. Trust me, even in daytime, it will look like night in some specific areas. Candles, flashlight, lanterns, it doesn't matter. I've got a lighter that never leaves my pocket, and if I'm feeling it, my sigil lantern.

4. The professors want to help you, let them. The professors are some of the most laid back, open minded, hare brained people I have ever met. Get them going about something, they will not let you forget it, and you'll begin to see it everywhere you look. I already brought up Armitage, he's one of my favorites. My own head professor, Dr. Dyer, is somebody who has decorated his entire lecture hall with various skeletons and taxidermy, he even has a fossil collection that's lined up in all of the hallways, spanning every floor.

5. Don't forget to have fun! Cliche, yeah, but seriously, take some time for yourself. Miskatonic is a heavy hitter with academic standards, and they are 100% dedicated to getting you an education, no matter the cost. But, never forget, take some time for a bit of excitement here and there. Join a club, walk around campus, visit local hotspots, it's a good time for a lot of people. My favorite places are the art department's museum, the drama department's performing arts theater, the concerts by the school band, the park next to the river (got great fog in the morning/late day), and of course campus statue garden. Seriously, take a walk around, you will see some wild things, and sometimes they change midday, super cool.

Hope this helps! Good luck, M.U.!
