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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Sorority Girls

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
