Fall Quarter '08: Midnight
⊆ 12:39 AM by A. Liebendorfer | college , life , lucy liu , midnight , ohio university . | ˜ 0 comments »There are interesting phenomena among college freshmen. The first is how easy they are to spot the first week: traveling in herds, visible lanyards, copious college apparel. The second is how they disappear in the second week. Suddenly the most straight-laced of freshmen emerge with body piercing and some start tattoo tableaus on their backs.
I got out of my shift at The Post tonight at midnight. I can't put my finger on it but there's something whimsical about midnight walks home. Only the Asians walk the streets that late at night, skirting back from their midnight classes. It's an inherently reflective time of day.
I couldn't help but ponder all this self-reinvention going on, and I couldn't help but feeling I'm squandering this opportunity. It's amazing how I'm with the same friends in different skins. I still eat more than I should, not exercise enough, not read enough.
I opened the door to my musty room. "This is the base of operations" was what came to my mind.
Now the question. What am I going to change?
