Tonight will mark the third of three senior related events in the past two weeks. I went to the last two—that is, to the first Senior Night and to the Senior Inauguration—partially because I wanted free champagne and a free shot glass (I got neither), but mostly because I felt like I should try out the whole "senior experience."
This experience, it turns out, is quite strange.
I don't know where you went to high school, but, for me, senior year marked the graduating class getting to know and like each other, and it saw us generally coming together.
But college isn't like that. It can't be.
