EDITOR'S NOTE
BY ASHLEY MONTGOMERY amontgomery@kansan.com
In just a few days I'll finally walk through the Campanile and down the hill to commencement in Memorial Stadium. I'm not particularly superstitious but I never wanted to anger the mythical Campanile and risk not graduating.
The names of
As 1 approach graduation that curse does not seem so bad.
I refuse to believe that the years you spend in college are the best of your life. But I'm not quite ready to move on either.
I won't miss late nights in Anschutz followed by early morning tests. I won't miss treking across campus in blizzards and rainstorms. I won't miss getting parking tickets or buying textbooks.
For a list of all the seniors going through this bittersweet graduation experience, see page 3.
But I will miss campus in the Spring. I'll miss late night chats with my sorority sisters. I'll miss walking to Massachussets Street. I'll miss the freedom and independence of college life.
