Senior Year, I Promise You This

#TigerUp: The Final Installment

Senior Year, I Promise You This
Blake Nelson

It seems like just yesterday I was moving all of my bags and boxes into Firestine 209 and taking that long walk down to Commencement Hollow, and now I'm preparing again to make that commencement walk. I started my journey as a Tiger three years ago to the sound of Meyers Bell ringing, and I promise to make every second count before I hear it ring again in May.

I promise to enjoy every step on my walks to class and practice, knowing that no other time in my life will I have this many friends living in one community with me.

I promise to leave the door to Hollenbeck and the student center open for anyone in sight, as is the Wittenberg way.

I promise to #WittWednesday with the same zeal that I did freshman year.

I promise to take way too many pictures of Meyers Hall and the seal.

I promise to pet every stray cat and 4-Paws dog I see.

I promise to study in the hollow on nice days, and run through it on nice nights ;).

I promise to always take a break for mot sticks in my library late nights.

I promise to try to have patience when there is nothing but bagpipes blasting from the stadium during Wooster week.

I promise to always roll my eyes and scowl when someone even mentions Wooster.

I promise to cherish every team tradition in which I get to take part for one final year.

I promise to value every chapter meeting and sorority event, knowing they are almost my last.

I promise to revel in the stress of every day over involvement in Wittenberg.

I promise to eat CBR pizza every chance I get.

I promise to fish bowl and Mc's, and day drink at Station.

I promise to paint up for Code Red games, and cheer like my life depends on it.

I promise to watch the sunrise on Meyers steps with my roommates after pulling an all nighter

I promise to be proud of all that I have accomplished when I finally get to Stomp the Seal

I promise to pass on my light.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
