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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
