ROUTINES AND Early on, Laura got into the habit of stopping off at the coffee house (because she had a French class at eight) for a cappucino and soon after that it became a reflex to grab a Daily Bruin at the kiosk to go with her coffee. It didn ' t take the rest of us long, bleary-eyed as we were, to follow suit. The greatest clues to individuality may be the routines we form, but all of us are subject to many of the same ones. Standing in line to buy books. Yelling at clerks in Murphy Hall. Stumbling to school too tired to move. Breath that reeks of coffee at midterms and finals. Got to study one more hour. Pressure, pressure. If that wasn ' t enough, the laundry ' s got to be done, and there hasn ' t been any food in the house for a week and a half. The check from financial aid hasn ' t come yet and the rent ' s due tomorrow. Still... it isn ' t all bad. There are those Thursday lunches with everyone at North Campus and the bowling team on Tuesdays. Sunlight sparkling through the trees makes history just a bit easier to digest and URL eventually becomes pleasingly familiar. Coffee keeps us vitalized and friends ease the burden. Grades are in and school is out, and finally, when it ' s all over, we realize that those routines weren ' t bad at all. No, not bad at all. COLLEGE LIFE 28
