WOTS: Fear and Loathing

Do you know what you're doing next year? It's the question that I, as a senior, hear almost every single day, posed by everybody from random classmates in recitations, to people I meet at parties, my grandparents, my parents, friends of my parents, friends of friends and then, of course, my friends themselves. Unless you're a senior who already has a job lined up for next year, there's no way you can definitely know what you're doing after graduation.

It's the end of the world as we know it

Boy 1: "Dude, I worked out for so long today." Boy 2: "No, no, bro, I like slept, all day; I just got out of bed." Boy 1: "Dude, no, I can't do that I have about two million midterms from now till the end of the semester." Despite the displays of refined verbosity and predominance of sentences starting with the words "Dude" and "Bro" that I was witness to on the way back from class today, I began to think of the change that is taking over our fair campus. Now that Family Weekend, Homecoming and Fall Break are all over in a ridiculously confusing order, things are starting to settle.

For about 10 years of my life I spent my summers at Camp Swig, a Jewish summer camp tucked away in the redwoods of Northern California. Every year there was this awkward transition period when I got home.

Hello, Would you like a sample wiener?

Hello. Some of you may know of what a free sample is. Some of you may know the extreme lengths that some may go to procure said samples. If you rewrite the previous sentence and replace the words "some of you" with "I" you will enter a first person narrative about the extreme and somewhat embarrassing lengths that I or "some" will go to sample, if you will, free things.
