I’m finding it hard to believe I’m already halfway through my college career.
I feel as if I was at my high school graduation, I blinked, and now I’m here.
I’m sure once I blink again, I’ll be graduating from Towson. I’m going to try and hold my eyes open as long as possible so I don’t miss anything.
I’m sure the outgoing senior class can attest to this. Four years (or five, or six, depending on your situation) seems like forever when you first get here.
But pretty soon you’re finishing up classes and applying for graduation and looking for a job so you can have a place to live after you’re done here.
I can’t say it’s something I’m looking forward to.
It’s funny how time tends to speed up once you hit what’s supposed to be the “best days of your life.”
The period of time between when I first moved into Tower D my freshman year (and was incredibly displeased with the “temporary triple” bull crap) and when I started getting things together for move-out of Residence Tower this week is an absolute blur.
What happened?
I don’t understand where the time went.
Maybe it was lost in the sheer repetitiveness of my everyday life.
Get up, watch “Sportscenter,” go to class, go to a meeting, have dinner, go to bed.
Get up, watch “Sportscenter,” go to class, go into Towerlight office for production, go to bed.
Get up, watch “Sportscenter,” go to class, watch Nationals game, go to bed.
Every day is nearly exactly the same as the previous one. It’s the same routine, day after day.
I’m bored with things right now, and the coming week isn’t about to make things more thrilling. Oooooooh, finals. Very exciting.
A break from the ordinary is exactly what I’m looking forward to, and I’m sure the rest of you are as well.
Going to the beach? Disney World? A Caribbean cruise? I’m sure many of you are doing something similar.
The seniors, especially, need to. You guys are about to go out into that thing called the “real world,” right?
Enjoy the time you have left, seriously.
Me? I’ll probably fall into the same kind of routine.
I’ll be up late playing video games and I’ll sleep in even later because of it.
I’m taking a trip up to Rhode Island to visit some friends, but that’s really my only “vacation.” I’m a very exciting person, really. (By the way, you understand a whole lot more of “Family Guy” jokes if you spend any time up in Rhode Island.)
I have an internship at the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network again this year, so maybe that’ll break things up a bit.
I’m sure my vision will be destroyed by the end of the summer since I’ll be staring at various tiny televisions and computer monitors for several hours twice a week, but I need a new pair of glasses anyway, so I guess that’s a good excuse as any.
Besides that, I’m going to relax. The high stress of the classes, Towerlight, more classes, more Towerlight pattern is going to be over. Until, of course, we go into production for our mid-summer issue.
Yes, this is the last issue of The Towerlight for the semester.
Look out for the mid-summer edition.
We’ll see you then.
