Did moving in go well? Parents gone?

Yes? Good. Let's drop the formalities. I want to encourage you to get active in politics while attending the University. Politics is meaningful, exciting and best of all student activism actually can make a difference.

That said, I am sure you already have got excuses as to why you cannot participate. But allow me to explain why political activism sometimes may be a more rewarding diversion than Netflix.

Don't like politics? That's fine, just pay attention to world events -
