Nothing could have prepared me for a more amazing semester of school surrounded by some truly talented, but more importantly, enjoyable, thoughtful and sincere friends. UID continuously amazes me and I’m sure there isn’t a better place nor people in the world where I would rather spend my final year of school. I think this piece from Jack Kerouac’s On The Road sums it up nicely:
But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
