THE MEANTIME  \ˈmēn-ˌtīm\

noun. 1. the intervening time or period, as between events (esp. in the phrase in the meantime)

As college students, we’re often dreaming of where we’ll be ten years from now. We talk so much about our career aspirations that we forget what we can accomplish during our four years in college – it’s just what we’re doing “in the meantime.” We believe that this phrase ought not to be an excuse, but rather a celebration. There is so much that Carolina students can accomplish during their four years. Why should we wait?
