Goin Sac

Welcome to the second annual issue of Goin’ Sac—you could call it a tutorial for surviving your first year of college in the capital city. What is there to know? Well, college can be full of perils. From fattening foods and neurotic roommates, to boring classes and dated clothes, just about anything can trip you up and make you long for the security and familiarity of home.

OK, maybe we’re overdramatizing. But college is an important, life-altering, exhilarating, and unforgettable experience, and we wouldn’t want you to miss out on one second of it because you’re fighting with your roommate about who ate the last piece of string cheese.

So add one more item to your list of required reading for your first semester—SN&R’s second annual Goin’ Sac. It’s student recommended, roommate approved and completely fat free.
