The Quad, such a crucial part of any
Like I was saying, the Quad is a huge part of our social lives. It’s where we meet up in between periods to talk about the ever-pressing issues we weren’t able to text about in our classes. Ten minutes to the hour those empty tables outside of Wanda’s become filled with students huddling together, index cards in hand, gathering for some last minute study sessions. Personally, it’s where I sit to spy on whatever cute outfits may pass through. Just speaking from experience, it takes a certain kind of woman to be able to trek across that cobblestone in high heels. It’s harder than it looks, boys!
The reason why I wanted to write about the Quad is for no other reason then the fact that it is currently under construction, as many of you are aware. While I could easily throw in some sarcastic comments about the smells that seem to be steaming up from the soil, I thought it best to perhaps reflect on the overlooked importance of the role in which the Quad plays. Consider this my tribute, just don’t ask me what the word “quad” is short for because I honestly do not know, nor do any of my roommates for that matter. I am simply thankful the tractors (and the stench) will soon disappear and grass will begin to sprout. While the Quad may seem less than visually appealing at the moment, I shall simply focus on the fact that flowers will grow where dirt used to be. Actually on second thought, that’s such a great outlook to have on life in general. Beauty can grow from the most inconceivable things.
