Holla If Ya Hear Me

   The eve of the first day of classes is upon us and I suppose I am remotely Geeked! about it. From the glass half full perspective, we're all a semester closer to completing majors, graduating, and other accomplishments of that sort.  On the negative end of the spectrum, we probably have harder classes, more work, more student loans and other sucky things. Pardon me for stating the obvious, but  we are all guilty of complaining of the same junk semester after semester and the time when #weoffthat (Twitter) will probably never come.

  Aside from all this junk, I am glad that the events of today are most comparable to the song lyric "Reunited and it feels so good".  Aint nothin like coming back to school and knowing that your "besties" , "goons", "clique", "boys" or just  your friends are waiting with bated breath to see you again.  Let's be real, not everybody is blessed enough to see all of their associates after being spared from all sorts of hurt harm and danger for the duration of their time apart, and relevant examples are the most recent casualties related to UNC including Eve Carson and Lillian Chason. 

  As we embark on this new and for some of you LAST semester of undergrad, let us not dwell on the pain that university life has caused us, but embrace the lasting relationships that we have been able to form because of it and use them to our benefit. Sharpen each others iron (Proverbs 27:17) and don't dull each others blades on this never-ending quest to success.   Thanks for listening and have good first day/final semester ^_^
