I’m no longer in school. In the month leading up to my graduation from Appalachian State, I couldn’t wait for that to be the case; I wanted nothing more than to be done with organized academics and on to the next great adventure. I’m not in school anymore, but I do remember how much fun this time of year was. As the teeth begin to fall out of the wind, and winter softens into spring, there’s an excitement in the air on Franklin Street. At the time of posting, a few students are taking their last exams of the semester, looking over their answer sheets at the bright possibilities that await in the long, all-too-fast months of summer.
