[nabs-l] being scholastically social?

[Sarah Alawami]

No in my opinion it will get you distracted from work and work is what you are there to accomplish. nothing more. I have no time to go out and have fun now that I'm doing 13 credits. only in the summer or duroing spring break can I pleasure myself in singing karoque. but college is for work alone in my opinion even if it is a choir class.
