I have been doing some post-midterm thinking (yes, even I'm surprised by this as 10 midterms is enough thinking for the week) and I came to a conclusion. Sad, yet poignant, and definitely interesting to ponder.
Here it is...
Brace yourself for the mental ride to halfway between here and there...
The saddest thing that surrounds all of us is the fact that so many great stories have been lost to the sands of time. So many awesome pranks, funny car rides, burns and Jake McNair type moves have simply been forgotten.
To think that all of the inside jokes, crazy college videos, weird nicknames and the like that have permeated the life of me and my friends to the very core might someday be lost and long forgotten is depressing. However, it is also strangely intriguing. We all grow old and so do our stories. Sometimes they last, but inevitably they go the way of the pre-1950's buffalo (before they were protected).
Lesson learned? Not really, but live it up, order another round and reminisce like it is going out of style.
Holler.
