-Delegate some of the hard work by soliciting the help of your best friend. That way, someone besides you knows where the ice is, how the stereo works and what to take care of if you pass out.
Tomorrow, the Student Planning and Events Committee (SPEC), will be throwing their very first "Beachfest," the newest addition to their beloved 'fest family.
For serious students, it's all about striving to be head of the class. For the rest of us, it's all about dreaming of the head of the class: that distinguished professor or hot TA who you are "forced" to stare at during the semester.
