Note from the editor
Homecoming Week is my favorite time of the year. Some of my best college memories involve "pumping" — folding tissue paper and stuffing it into chicken wire to create a float — late into the night with my best friends. I love seeing the chalk murals on Wescoe Beach, cheering on my friends at Jayhawk Jingles, and eating pancakes while I watch the parade move down Jayhawk Boulevard. But my favorite part of homecoming is the idea that the University is home — and, in a way, my classmates are family.
Homecoming used to be about competition. For three years, I was obsessed with winning the Overall Homecoming Award with my sorority. The hard work paid off when we won in 2008 and 2009.
This is my last year as a KU student,

but it's the first year I won't be competing. Living in limbo as a fifth-year senior has changed my perspective.I love winning, but I love being a Jayhawk even more. Homecoming is a chance for all of us to celebrate all the things - and people - that make the University something to come home to.
My experience here is defined by the work I've done for The Kansan and the bonds I've formed with my sorority sisters, but there are a thousand different ways to build memories. It could be the research you did, the church you joined, or the scholarship hall you lived in. It's the sight of fat squirrels running around campus, the sound of the whistle at the end of class, and the taste of a Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap at lunch. Spend four (or five, or maybe six) years here, and the University becomes a part of you.
If you haven't participated in homecoming before, give it a try this year. Spend a little extra time on campus this week and really savor the college experience. When you look back on your time here, you'll be glad you did.
