Being that I have been here for the summer, slaving away at the hands of some of Iowa City’s most wealthiest members of the AARP\u00a0\u00a0(most of which refuse to tip), I kind of forgot the buzz that surrounds the campus during the first week of classes.<\/p>\n
The wave of freshman (my baby sister included) flooding towards unknown destinations (on campus and in life), the Greek’s all wearing\u00a0matching T-shirts, athletes recklessly driving mopeds, and the mini riots\u00a0waiting\u00a0at each Cambus bus stop is one sight to see.<\/p>\n
I never truly realized it before, nor have I ever really stood around to take it all in my last couple of years here in Iowa City.<\/p>\n
As a freshman there is generally way\u00a0to much going on. Sophomore’s (at least for me) are usually too worried about not seeming like a freshman. Juniors, well, they know the campus, and are\u00a0just wanting to have a good time.<\/p>\n
But now as a senior, thoughts about the real life that awaits me are all\u00a0that pop into my mind as I walk\u00a0around the Pentacrest. Oh how quickly these four years (or five) can go.<\/p>\n
So\u00a0for all of you youngsters wandering around campus in a blaze, take a quick minute to stop and look around, because real life will be starring\u00a0a you before you can say\u00a0“I want Panchero’s” after a late night in the bar.<\/p>\n
As always, Go Hawks, and On Iowa!<\/p>\n
