100 Days

Friday was not just a regular day. It was also 100 days until graduation!!!!!!

With posters displayed on every door congratulating us throughout campus, and letters wishing us well in our mailboxes, the seniors were on top of the world this Friday. The Alumni Office helped us celebrate with free cupcakes and sunglasses, and a raffle to win a free ticket to a senior week event.

My mom, meanwhile, helped me celebrate by sending me a picture of a job advertisement in a newspaper at home. In denial, I decided to pretend that never happened.

My friends and I, who have known each other since the second day of freshmen year, spent a good part of the afternoon reminiscing on some of the things that have happened these past four years, looking at pictures and having a lot of laughs. For dinner, we went out for sushi to celebrate this milestone.

I am not as freaked out about this as I originally thought I would be when I wrote it on my calendar back in August, which is shocking considering I have 100 days to figure out the rest of my life. Maybe by the time we hit 50 days it will feel more real…

Super Bowl

Regardless of where you stand when it comes to football, Super Bowl Sunday is a day with something for everyone. You don’t need to be a fan to enjoy the event, the food, the commercials, and the halftime show.

Since we are located in Maryland, 40 minutes outside of Baltimore, Ravens fans were going crazy for the game. Of course, McDaniel felt extra pride, having been the home of their summer training camp for years before the lockout.

Even with the number of friends I have who live locally, only one of my roommates was cheering for the Ravens to win. The rest of us either didn’t care or wanted to see the 49ers win. Together we gathered around the TV with friends and a variety of food, including wings, pizza, and nachos, and settled in to watch the game.

The Super Bowl was a great way to break up the monotony of a typical Sunday. The football turned out to be a good competition, Beyonce killed it during the halftime show, and a number of the commercials were entertaining.
