Despite my less than desirable situation, i.e. stuck at home for the last three weeks of senior year due to mono, 18 years of education are done. When it's time to look back on all of the good and bad times, you would be surprised at what we have learned and continued to relearn since kindergarten.

I'll be the first to admit it, I procrastinate. Every time I hear that little saying "procrastination is like masturbation, you're only screwing yourself" I just have to laugh. Since about September I have gotten by with the bare minimum. Senoritis has hit me hard.

Letters to the Editor represent the opinions of the writer and not those of the Mirror To The Editor: Why do townhouse residents at Fairfield seem to get the short end of the deal when it comes to living arrangements? I pay a total of around $4,500 for room and board to live with 4 other people for one semester not including utilities which I have calculated about $100-200 per person.

Once it hits, there's no escaping its merciless wrath. It also tends to attacks before major assignments, job hunts, club meetings, or any legitimate task of responsibility requiring concentration or sobriety.

It is not every day that student residences are raided by law enforcement agencies and students are arrested on charges of drug dealing. In this week's article about drugs on campus, Dean of Students Mark Reed called the recent arrests "troubling." When such extraordinary events take place on campus, it gives everyone an opportunity to take pause and reflect on the issue.

In three short weeks I will be completing my junior year here at Fairfield University and my tenure as an on-campus student. In three weeks I'll not only be leaving Fairfield to return home, but I'll also be leaving my lovely suite in Claver Hall. Needless to say I was slightly bitter last September when my friends were moving into their beach houses and townhouses and I was moving into yet another dorm.

As tuition continues to skyrocket with each year, I can't help but wonder if the administration is overlooking the most important component of the university: the student. Not all Fairfielders drive Lexus SUVs, are outfitted in designer duds and spend spring break in the most exotic of locales.
