I\u2019ve written some bangers while I\u2019ve been on staff, I know, and I\u2019m glad to be returning through December of my fifth year. There have definitely been a few people surprised to see me on campus but thankfully they\u2019ve all been glad for it.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s one big \u2018fons et origo\u2019 of my Golden Year: COVID.<\/span><\/p>\n I felt a little robbed of my junior year during \u2018Nokes online class spell when I was still on campus, with friends around, but it just didn\u2019t feel like <\/span>college<\/span><\/i>. So, I\u2019m trading coming back in May just to have President Shushok hand me my diploma for at least one semester of my college experience back.<\/span><\/p>\n Life as a super senior is sweet so far! I\u2019m part-timing two classes, one is Policy which will get rough\u2026 but the other is Badminton. The rest of my time I\u2019m at practice or my dorm.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s nice to have a few big things to focus on rather than a million little ones. For me, the biggest pro to coming back for an extra semester is the eligibility I was compensated with for losing my seasons from 2019-20.<\/span><\/p>\n The theme for this year, I guess, would be a last hurrah. Or better yet: the final stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n I finished my Creative Writing major in the spring and that outdoor season definitely left me hungry. I\u2019m looking forward to doing it for Rooney one last time!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Chamberlain Zulauf I\u2019ve written some bangers while I\u2019ve been on staff, I know, and I\u2019m glad to be returning through December of my fifth year.
