What's the most useless talent you have?

What is your most vivid memory from college?
My most vivid memory of college was when there was a huge thunderstorm in April of my junior year. Me, all my roommates, and other people that lived in the same building as us, went out on to the balcony and were playing in the rain and watching the lightning.

What piece of advice would you like to give to incoming students?
Try saying "yes", of course not all the time if you can't, but you'll never know where you'll end up, who you might meet, or what memories can be made.
