Parading Around in Yellow Pants

I like the color yellow.
It reminds me of the sun and the trees, the birds and the bees, the blah blah blah and the summer breeze.
I also like college, and the fact that I am now a sophomore.
I have acquired a sense of pure serenity and complete comfort as I parade around campus, in my yellow pants. I am an Eagle, and I am Home.
As I turn a new page in this book I call "life," I leave broken relationships and petty problems in the dust, and I focus on the bigger picture.
What is the bigger picture, really?
The bigger picture is waking up, excited to go to Chem Lab (just kidding, if that happens to you I strongly suggest seeing a psychiatrist).
It's having a Behavioral Science class in Ward, then ninja dodging the "after class crowd" to reach the exit, sprinting clear across campus to Watkins in ten minutes (for those of you who don't know AU, that's a good third of a mile), and spending all of Microeconomics trying to cool down and stop panting in a 90+ degree room with no air conditioning (love you, AU).
It's going to the Davenport Coffee Lounge (The Dav) and being told that iced coffee would no longer be served for the remainder of the afternoon. What kind of coffee shop runs out of ICE? It's literally frozen water.
Okay enough with the dry and cynical commentary. Let's try this again.
What is the bigger picture, really?
It's walking around campus with my headphones in, blasting Timeflies (for those of you who don't know who Timeflies is, do your research and prepare to be mind-blown) and people-watching on my way to class.
It's going into my history class, and having my professor rant against the Republican Nation, insisting that immigrants are the future of this country (boy, was THAT a confidence-booster).
It's spending all afternoon with my sisters, messing around and doing absolutely nothing in the School of International Studies (Delta Phi Epsilon Professional Foreign Service Sorority foh LIFE).
It's knowing that once Syllabus Week is over, I will be toiling over my homework in the library until 4AM every night.
It's declaring my third major, which was the most stressful, time-consuming and horrifying thing I have ever done.
The bigger picture is life. And mine is finally on its way... to bigger, and better things. And I might as well just keep wearing those yellow pants while I live it.
This is Sarah Samaha, reporting from my dorm room (I'm sorry, "residence hall"), signing out.

Meet the Sisters. Well, some of them, anyway. <3
