When you really think about it, you've spent the last 13 years of your life swimming through routine academics. Countless individuals have told you how imperative your grades and education are in regards to your future. Now finally you can take a step back to relax and soak it all up.

Historical Quote

The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don’t know what they are conserving.

—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
