First of All (had to plug the fraternity :P), Happy October!
As you know this kicks off the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! That means that sometime later I should be posting pictures from around campus of the different events going on to raise awareness. For now here's a link to the Susan G. Komen website (http://ww5.komen.org/), designed to raise awareness and earn funds for Breast Cancer research and development.
Moving right along though, this weekend also marks off Old Gold Weekend.
I'm really excited about this weekend! It's basically DePauw's homecoming and we have A LOT of stuff going on this weekend, including the game, the parade, the first annual campus bonfire, President Casey's birthday, tailgating (WITH FREE CORN!!!!), and some other stuff that I really can't remember.
Man I love it here. It's just something that's been floating in the air recently that's just made campus that much more lively. I don't know if it's the impending weekend, Sigma Chi's 150 year celebration on campus, this last weekend of Parent's Weekend, my little sibs (a mentor program started by AAAS *the Association of African-American Students* that provides underclassmen with upperclassmen guides that mentor and build friendships with them to help African American students feel more comfortable on campus) or the Free Hugs that the men of Alpha Phi Alpha were going around giving out. Anyway something has really been going on on campus that has made me fall in love with it all over again.
Looking back on my time at this wonderful institution I can easily say that it's been fun. Though I'm not leaving this year, I can only imagine that it's really going to hurt to have to say farewell to Good Ole DePauw. I'm going to miss the late night study sessions that magically turn into random journeys through Greencastle, exploring all of the hidden caves of wonder, the intellectual conversations that range from Uganda to Peace in the Middle East, to transcendentalism, to which pizza place is the best on campus. Then there are the little moments that I really start to look back on. Like falling asleep on the lawn in the middle of the day only to be woken up by the President of the school gently nudging me awake. The hours spent sitting in my room lazily wasting away the day. The Pomegranate Limeade Odwallas, that random orange flower in a bed of yellow tulips. All of these little Indiana college quirks.
I love it here. Trapped in this little middle of nowhere Indiana bubble. Where the top minds in the country come to meet, exchange courtesies and then continue about their day. Here in one of the top colleges of Indiana, one of the top private universities in america and in my opinion the best private liberal arts schools in the world, I've found freedom.
