Senior Year, I Promise You This

#TigerUp: The Final Installment

3
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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
