Transitions

Last night it hit me hard. It is the beginning of the end. As a member of the class of 2007, I participated the 100 Day March, which celebrates the fact that we only have 100 days left before graduation. Crazy. Walking down to the Reub with all of my classmates was actually an amazing experience. I figured I'd just hang out with my friends and it would be like any other night out. But, as the herd of us descended the Hill, singing the Fight Song, being led by the police escorts, I was overwhelmed by the sense of camraderie. After a walk that was colder than we all planned for, we were welcomed by dancing, drinks, nacho supreme and a night of fun. Anyways, seniors, I hope you had a good time. Juniors, sophomores, and first-years, in my opinion, you have something to look forward to.

In terms of SGA, the end seems a lot closer than 100 days. It's election season now, as I'm sure most of you know. Posters are up, fliers are being distributed, facebook minifeeds are showing the changes people have made to reflect their support. It is strange not being a part of this process. There are 3 candidate teams running for my position. I've talked to all of them, and they all show amazing levels of enthusiasm for the job and passion for improving the lives of St. Olaf students. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds. I strongly encourage everyone, even seniors, to be engaged in this election, at all position levels. Go to the Candidate Forums (Monday and Wednesday), read the platforms on Oleville, and most important, vote.

Alright, time to get back to my homework. I wish 100 days meant less work. Sadly, it does not...
