Dress: check. Shoes: check. Bag: check. Flask: check, check. Date: ????
Commencement Ball is the culmination to our college careers, what better way to end it all then to get all dressed up and party it up with our fellow graduates. All the seniors dressed in their best, ready to hit the open bar.
So is this the high school prom date hunt all over again? If you're not dating anybody you have to beg a date off a friend? I think not. We're in college, finding a date for something like commencement ball is not really necessary.
If you are dating someone than sure you're probably going with him or her. If you're just seeing someone than you'll probably hang out at the ball anyways. And if you not seeing anyone special you'll hang out with your friends. Regardless of whom you choose to mingle with at the ball you will definitely have a blast.
The more important issues to be concerned with are what kind of dress do I want to wear and how should I do my hair? Who am I living with for Senior Week? Or more importantly the questions causing the most chaos among friends, is that of the table arrangements for the ball? Who doesn't want to sit with whom. Who probably shouldn't sit with whom.
I have enjoyed enlightening the SHU community with my opinions each week this year. Although I will not miss the work and the classes that really did not help me get a job or pay off my loans, I will miss this column and the fact that it gave me a voice to reach out to the SHU students. Who knows if I ever helped anyone out or if I made anyone laugh, if I did than I was successful. My four years at SHU have been eventful to say the least and I wouldn't change anything about them. Good luck to my fellow graduates, we're going to have to pay back loans and find jobs and probably have quarter life crisis'.
