"I think the important thing is not to get bogged down. Think about what you are going to be doing for the rest of your life. You have to transfer to a university. The best way is to take stuff that interests you intellectually and go from there. Everything else hopefully falls into place."
- Arts & Entertainment Editor Thomas Guffey


"Just be prepared and don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how stupid they may sound, because in the end you will not have to suffer the repercussions."
- News Editor Sung Kim


"Get your general education out of the way first. Don't worry about transferring classes and agreements because ultimately you need your general education classes. That gives you time to decide what to do with the rest of your life."
- Sports Editor Olga Ardulov


"Don't bite off more than you can chew by taking too many classes. Also don't take two hard classes at once such as English and Biology because it will be too much of a load. Try to take a least one fun class every quarter."
- Former Sports Editor Kayla Hilton


"Don't bull***t around here at De Anza and just get things done. Don't spend money on cars, clothes, booze and stupid crap. Save your money. If you are living at home with your parents, take advantage of that because you won't be there for long. Don't blow off class. Don't be one of those idiots who sits in the back and doesn't do homework, because you won't get anywhere in life. Sit in the front row. Get your crap done. Get your general education done and get the hell out of here ... I wish someone had been this blunt with me."
- Editor in chief Dan Sealana


"Get a counselor. Don't get into your major right away. Try to work on the general education stuff. So you have more time to decide, just in case you change your mind half way through."
-Features Editor Asif Ahmed
