Loyola seniors are now well under 100 days until graduation. A semester that dragged along at a dreadfully slow pace -- sadly due to the deaths of Frs. Ridley and Hartley and the way time comes to a standstill in mourning -- is truly skipping by now. Spring break is nearly upon us, and then Easter, and then April -- and then classes will be over.
While that's great, of course, it'll also mean that Loyola is nearly in the rearview mirror. And the question that keeps coming into my mind is whether or not I've become a better person in these four years. It's a question that we should probably all ponder over at some point.
As for myself? I don't know. There's been a lot of good accomplished -- academically, socially, with The Greyhound and building the foundations for a career post-Loyola, as well as with athletics. But I also find myself disappointed that I didn't do more, or that I wasted a lot of time (and/or money) when I could have put the time to better use.
Maybe I'm making myself feel bad for no reason. But at the least, I can use that feeling to spur myself to being a better all-around person in the time I have left here, if for no other reason than as a jumpstart to the rest of my life.
