UDAAP students touredthe Capitol, spoke with Sen.Carper during a question-and-answer session in his office,and had the privilege to sit inon Senate proceedings andobserve bills being presented.

taking senatorial office 13years later.

How to Prepare for yourAdvisement Appointment

Your academic advisement appoint-ment is an important part of your day

and is a very big part of your transitionto the University of Delaware. In orderto get the most from your appointment,we recommend that you complete thefollowing steps prior to NSO:

1. Please contact the College Board andmake sure you have all AP or IB testscores sent to the University ofDelaware. Information about what APscores are necessary to be granted cred-it at UD can be found on theAdmissions Office website.

2. Please make sure you have officialtranscripts of all previous college worksent to the University of Delaware sothat the credits may be posted to yourtranscript. It would be helpful for youto bring a copy of your transcripts (anunofficial transcript is fine) or gradereports with you to your NSO advise-ment appointment. Additional infor-mation about transfer credits and howto have transfer credits evaluated can befound on the University TransferCenter's website.

3. Take the Math Placement Test, avail-able through the My Blue Hen Homestudent portal atwww.math.udel.edu/placement/index.html. Your placement in math is entirelydependent on how well you perform onthis exam. If you have an idea of whatyou want to major in when you relocateto the Newark campus, make sure youdiscuss this with your advisor; we'll wantyou register for the correct mathcourse(s). Please take the exam whenyou are well rested, in an appropriateenvironment, and can devote the entirehour to it, as you may only take it once.

4. At your advisement appointment youwill be asked to select courses to fulfillAA degree requirements, includingENGL 110, math, foreign language, andCollege breadth requirements. You willwant to review this information inadvance and identify options.

Tianna Hutchins, a 2013 GeorgetownAssociate in Arts graduate, was honored at theSouthern Delaware Convocation on May 23.Hutchins, of Seaford, Del., received theOutstanding Associate in Arts Student Awardfor earning the highest GPA and also receivedthe Faculty Achievement Award. Hutchinsprovided The Associate with a copy of herprepared remarks, in which she discusses thestudent experience at the Associate in ArtsGeorgetown Campus. Hutchins will betransferring to Lee University in Cleveland,Tennessee, for the fall 2013 semester; she plansto major in history and then enter law school.We wish her (and all of our 2013 graduates)the best of luck!

Good evening. Id like to begin with ashort quote I found from A. A. Milne: Howlucky I am to have something that makessaying goodbye so hard. The past two yearshere in the Associate in Arts program havetruly been an irreplaceable college experiencefor me, but thats because of all the uniquepeople and their hilarious antics. Forexample, just a few weeks ago George Doumitwore a full-body green morph suit to class,just to have Dr. Peasnall completely ignorehim. Or Dr. Colwells story about thestructure of a comedy, which would not becomplete without her use of that humorousaccent. And how could I ever forget JonGarcia omitting the first three letters ofassassination on his history quiz (whileexplaining the cause of World War I),resulting in a predictably sarcastic responsefrom Dr. Underhill stating that assinationsounds painful. Of course, there have beensome serious moments, too, maybe a lectureevery now and then, or the music colloquiumand student-faculty mixer, where we got toenjoy many of our own talented musiciansperform. But most of all, Ill never forget thewonderful professors who, besides beingbrilliant, genuinely care about their students,some even going so far as to mock them infront of the entire class. Everything about thelast two years has been nothing short ofamazing.

Last week, when I found out that I wouldhave to speak tonight, I had no idea what Iwanted to say. In an attempt to find

inspiration, I met with Ms. Tanner, whooffered me two things, the first being herfavorite story, Walter the Farting Dog, and theother being David Foster Wallaces speechThis is Water. Much to Ms. Tannersdisappointment, I was unable to learnanything useful from Walter and hiscondition. I did, however, take a couple thingsaway from This Is Water. David FosterWallace begins his speech with this anecdote:There are these two young fish swimmingalong and they happen to meet an older fishswimming the other way, who nods at themand says, Morning, boys. How's the water?And the two young fish swim on for a bit,and then eventually one of them looks over atthe other and goes, What the hell is water?Wallace goes on to explain, The point of thefish story is merely that the most obvious,important realities are often the ones that arehardest to see and talk about. Later on, headds, Learning how to think really meanslearning how to exercise some control overhow and what you think. It means beingconscious and aware enough to choose whatyou pay attention to and to choose how youconstruct meaning from experience.

Both of these points made me think.What things are important in life? And how

can we choose to control our thoughts? Thesequestions are probably best left to the greatphilosophers, and I make no assertions aboutbeing one, but today Im going to try toderive an answer to these questions, be itfrom a much humbler source. So, in the spiritof Walt Disneys view that Adults are onlykids grown up, anyways, I shall enlist thehelp of the anthropomorphic characters of A.A. Milnes Winnie the Pooh for the remainderof my speech to help illustrate Wallaces ideas.

In This Is Water, David Foster Wallaceargues that its our natural self-centereddefault setting that makes us miserable, sowhere better to begin my analogy than witheveryones favorite sarcastic and cynicaldonkey: Eeyore. Although his misery makeshim lovable, I doubt anyone wants to grow upto be like Eeyore; after all, he lives alone in hisgloomy place, [which is] rather boggy andsad. But with some effort, we can avoidfalling into some of the pitfalls that he does.For instance, A. A. Milne wrote, You can'tstay in your corner of the Forest waiting forothers to come to you. You have to go to themsometimes. So dont be like Eeyore. Dont sitaround moping all day. Go out into the world.

However, the world can be a scary place,and many of us may feel uncertain, evenintimidated by whats to come in the future,but, like Piglet, we too can face our fear of theunknown. Even though it is hard to be brave,when you're only a Very Small Animal, Pigletwas able to overcome his fears with help fromhis friends. So next time you feel discouraged,remember Christopher Robins words: Youare braver than you believe, stronger than youseem, and smarter than you think.

The next two characters Id like you toconsider are Tigger and Rabbit. Tiggersoptimism and zest for life are certainly worthycharacteristics, but he has one flaw: He doesntlook before he leaps. This often gets him intotrouble, like when he decides to bouncehimself up to the top of the tallest tree, only torealize that Tiggers are afraid of heights.Opposed to Tiggers carefree whimsy isRabbits structure and order. Everything inRabbits life is carefully put into place; he likesto have his house and garden perfect, andunexpected visitors are not welcome, especiallynot Tigger. In this respect, Rabbit is verymuch a fussbudget hes too concerned withtrivial details to fully enjoy and appreciate life,

which causes him to miss out on a lot. Learnfrom them, or as Wallace put it, constructmeaning from [their] experience, only notquite so extreme. Embrace Tiggers enthusiasmand energy, but tone it down with Rabbitsreason and rationality.

Finally, there is the simplest character ofthem all, Winnie the Pooh himself. After all,when you are a Bear of Very Little Brainwho is stuffed with fluff, there isnt muchmore to life than friends and honey. AlthoughPooh Bear may not be the brightest, and thereare many things that he doesnt understand,what he does know is the importance ofenjoying friends, family, and life itself. I thinkthat the brilliance of his simplicity is bestillustrated in this brief passage:

Well, said Pooh, what I like best, andthen he had to stop and think. Becausealthough eating Honey was a very goodthing to do, there was a moment justbefore you began to eat it which wasbetter than when you were, but he didntknow what it was called.

Pooh gets it. Wallace said that the mostimportant realities are hard to see and evenharder to describe. If by intentionallyadjusting our attitudes, we can consciously

shift our perspective of the world, then whatsa better way to do this than with Winnie thePooh and his friends? Not only can they teachus how to have a better attitude and outlookon life, but we can also see whats mostimportant, too. And its not money, looks, orpower, because as Wallace said, those things,those default settings, will eat you alive. Soas we move on to the next stage of oureducation, dont forget about your friends,family, God, or whomever you may have arelationship with, because in my opinion,remembering that you are loved is the mostimportant thing.

Secondly, Wallace says, The capital-TTruth is about life BEFORE death, so dontforget to enjoy it. Take a break from yourhectic, chaotic life to stop, spend time withthose who love you, and remind yourself,This is water. Bearing all of that in mind, Ihave one final quote for you from A. A. Milne:Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery,but today is a gift. That's why we call it thepresent.

Thank you.

Milton Amaya, Josu Bautista, and Danielle Levredge, all 2012graduates of the Georgetown campus who are now at the Newarkcampus, were awarded the Certificate of Excellence by completingTier 1 of the Blue Hen Leadership Program.

The Blue Hen Leadership Program is a multi-tiered leadershipcertification program designed to help UD students build individualand organization leadership skills; students attend training seminarsthat help them determine their own individual leadership style andalso complete group leadership exercises.

Students seeking the Tier 1 certificate must attend 10 seminarsduring the course of the program; however, Levredge said in arecent interview, The meetings are so manageable, all three of uswere able to complete all 10 seminars during the fall semesteralone.

Seminar topics and events ranged from analyzing leadership inThe Hunger Games, Lost, and Game of Thrones to a team-buildingexercise in which teams were tasked with navigating an interactivepuzzle maze without speaking. Levredge said, I particularly likedthe self-identifying seminar; they give you a personality test andyou eventually analyze what your decisions would be in certainsituations, which gives you your leadership style.

They also give you specific training on leadership strategies

with different cultures, genders, and ages, which is incrediblyvaluable and a great thing to put on a rsum! she said.

According to Levredge, all three students are planning tocontinue with the program and complete Tier 2. She said, There's aglitch in the program because Tier 2 takes a whole year to developa social program, and therefore an AA grad can only do Tiers 1 and2. However, she said, Im actually trying to work with [the BHLP]concerning Associate in Arts students; they have a program calledQUEST, which is a introductory group-based series of seminars forfreshmen, and I'm trying to see if I can suggest to them to open theteam-building seminars to junior AA students.

If she is successful, Levredge said, she hopes future AAP gradswill be able to participate in the BHLPs QUEST program.

It's an excellent opportunity to acclimate to main campus and get an amazing rsum-booster while making importantprofessional staff connections. It's not a major time commitmentand will help you develop professionally, she said.

For more information on the Blue Hen Leadership and QUESTprograms, visit www.udel.edu/usc/ld/bhlp andwww.udel.edu/usc/ld/bhlp/quest or visit the BHLPs Facebook pageat www.facebook.com/UDbhlp.
