Be a Squirrel

As much as I dread the end to summer sunshine, I love the increased squirrel activity that accompanies autumn.  In the past week, I've watched squirrels engaged in all sorts of activities.  For instance, this afternoon I saw a squirrel sitting on the HUB lawn eating a chocolate chip cookie and I saw another one chasing down acorns as they fell from a tree near Thomson Hall.  On Thursday, I smiled when I saw a squirrel sitting on a bench outside Kane just like he/she was a mini-human.  So cute!  As the academic year begins, I encourage all of you to embrace your inner squirrel - plan ahead, work hard, and have a little fun!
