<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am a Fall 2013 transfer student, and I received a couple days ago this package containing so-called "summer reading project" book. I recall doing a similar thing for my previous school which no one but a couple other people (including me) in my discussion group actually read it... I REALLY don't want to do this s**t again, so, what's gonna happen if I just ignore it? Is my OL going to bust through my dorm room door :)?</p>
<p>By the way, I am not planning on taking first-year seminar. (After all, I am not a f***ing first year!)</p>
<p>I personally found the summer reading projects to be also a waste of time even when I was a freshman and I think this is even more silly for a transfer like you who already went through this. </p>
<p>Back in the day, I knew plenty of freshmans who skip this all together so I think you’ll be fine too if you don’t wish to attend. I think the only ‘benefit’ of attending is if you want to hand in your summer reading essay to be entered into a chance of winning a prize…or at least when I was freshman that was the incentive for doing this.</p>
<p>Don’t do it. Not worth the time or the paper. You get nothing out of it and it will never matter.</p>
<p>The summer reading project is BS. Spark note it (or something similar) if you can.</p>
