Is it normal for homecoming to be mostly meaningless until senior year, when I am on the verge of leaving the place that has been home to me for the past four years? The same sort of thing happened in high school, now that I think about, but high school homecoming is more about dresses, dinners, and drama, rather than school spirit.

This year I actually knew enough about the homecoming court to cast an educated vote for two classmates I have had the privilege of knowing through OSU's honorary system. Hope they win! I may also participate in the Stefanie Spielman Step Stride Swim next Sunday.
