rv 5 ' im Q52 Happy Birthday? Congrats? Special surprises like balloons and singing telegrams can make an ordinary day memorable just like Tammy Breneman ls. e come to college to learn, little realizing how or where 6fPrologue that will take place. On the surhice our day to day life changes drastically. Yet with little conception of how that affects us, we see only the differences in the landscape. Bringing our bed sheets, photo albums, and clothes hom home, We fill the room, write our high school Hiends, and call home. Its OK for now, we at least have a place to put our stuff We go home for those first holidays. Our tamrlres notice what we haven 't, that we have new ways of talking and dressing and new routines. Near the end of the break, we hear our tongues slip and say, Ill be glad to get home. Because back at school, you have a place to put your stuff And while at first it is nothing more than a mere place, eventually with that place come belongings. Trnte that is your own, Hiends that are your own, inklings of a future that will be your own, even for once in your life, your self for your own. You take a trip to Europe as a january course and discover that for three weeks you didn 't think of what mom or dad would think or say. .You discover that there are bigger things in life than money - mostly phone bills. You start calling horne to say where you are going for the weekend rather than to ask if you may. You accept that first summer job away Hom home, make that decision about a class schedule, plan a party, set the alarm clock, postpone an assignment, make an appointment. You find a place to put all your stuff You 're coming of age. Day to day activities should of course include sleep. Lesa Christmas discovers though the secret to finding the time - curl up on the librarys comfortable sofas for a nap.
