Last Homecoming

Homecoming weekend is one of the best weekends in Ada. You get to see old friends, meet new people and hear wonderful stories about ONU years ago. Usually, I always look forward to Homecoming since the festivities give you an excuse to do nothing for a whole weekend. However, this year was different.

As another post has indicated, I am having quite a problem being a senior. This weekend really hit me that this was my last Homecoming weekend as an undergraduate. Next year I will be coming back as an "old" person, not knowing any of the new DZs or what is even going on at ONU. I realize this might sound silly for me to be freaking out about, but I am just having a hard time adjusting to getting older.

On a positive note, this weekend was a great amount of fun. I always love seeing friends who graduated my freshman year and meeting Greek alumni. They always tell the best stories about the pranks they pulled that are legendary. When a group of older DZs come to the house, you always have to laugh to yourself because you know they will share their knowledge about everything with you, and I do mean everything (I was given advice on how to raise children). The women stand around, telling stories about each other and reminiscing about the "good old times." A small smile creeps upon my lips, wondering if my friends and I will be like that some day. I can only hope to be so lucky.
