I was at a Global Health Initiative meeting today and as discussion turned to organizational housekeeping stuff, I was struck by the sudden thought, "I don't have time for this kid stuff." GHI is not alone in receiving my spinster grumblings (nor does it really merit them...I think their purpose is quite noble and their members dedicated). But I have slowly shed nearly all of my student organization associations through the years. Granted, I have substituted other non-university affiliated activities so I'm really no less busy, but I am rapidly feeling greater disconnect from undergraduate life as I hurtle toward graduation. This is probably a common occurrence, as many older students opt for different (usually more lucrative) ways to engage their time not spent in class. I am still involved with the groups and activities that matter most to me, so I don't really miss the peripheral ones, but being more and more of an "outsider" does feel a little odd.
