Dear Abby

For those of you that don't know, Dear Abby was an advice column that ran in newspapers all across the country back in the day.  They still might have it going now but the real Dear Abby, Abigail VanBuren, passed away so the original Abby isn't there anymore.  Abby gave out advice to readers who sent in questions for all sorts of stuff, from dating to parenting and anything else in between.  Now that we're coming to the end of the school year, I'd like you to be our CKTV "Dear Abby" and provide some advice to our new students coming in to the program next year.  Whether you are a first, second, or third year student, your experiences are invaluable and you can really help our new students who won't be sure what to expect next year.  I'd like to challenge you to not just advise them about the obvious things like meeting your deadlines.  Try and really think about some of the other smaller details that you wished you had known.  Provide them with at least three pieces of advice and don't forget to explain why each is important to understand or know.  Good luck!
