Time and Change

Time is counting down and the end of an era is approaching. On August 5th, 2013, I will no longer call Columbus, Ohio my home. Ironically enough, that date is exactly 3 months after I graduated from The Ohio State University.

 It is such an odd feeling that in less than 2 weeks, my surroundings and my routine will be entirely shaken upside down and I won't be in the heart of Bukeyenation with my pack of nuts any longer. Ohio State has given me so much in the form of intellectual stimulation through various professors, challenging coursework and companions who enjoy discussing matters of the mind while simultaneously enjoying some fine spirits (we like to call that "geeking out"). 

Ohio State is a place of firsts:

My first roommate and my first my first Spring Break,

My first broken heart and my first broken bone,

My first all nighter and my first hangover,

My first storming of the field and my first scotch on the rocks,

My first Scarlet and my first Gray.

It is so troubling that this inspiring place of so full of wonder and potential that has been the home to so many firsts is being clouded by the immense  weight that is the fact that this next two weeks are no longer moments of firsts but rather moments of lasts. I don't want this crazy adventure that is college to end!!
