Not going to lie, despite walking over corpses, I'm right glad that the weather from Ida finally let up so that we could take the tour of the campus. Most of the information shared, I already knes, which made me feel special, because Dr. Willis had spoken in the Andrews lobby a few weeks ago.
Now what would I change about Converse traditions? Virtually nothing. The traditions we have are a large part of why I came to Converse. I believe I might have mentioned before that I am a creature of habit, and routine. The shift to having Christmas at my Grandmother's new house (Alia Lawson's House) from our house was a huge controversy to me. If the tradition of our eating hotdogs on Christmas Eve ever passes, my world will end. The idea of jumping in a fountain, having a big sister, wearing a ring, turning it around, getting pushed in a fountain with a new type of ring is all very exciting to me. I want to be part of something like that... now I am.
Creating a new tradition would in fact be inflicting a change... As we just established, I'm not fond of change, but despite this I will press myself to develop one...
Think think think... (Ooh! I felt like Pooh!)
What's something I'd change about Converse? Food... Dorms... Bricks... Valkyries. There.
While I'm not against the new mascot of the valkyries... But I found the All-Stars a bit wittier. What I'm proposing is that we copy the Major League Baseball teams. They all have their throwback games where they wear the old versions of their jerseys. I'm proposing that each sport have one game where we wear jerseys that say All-Stars and are the old style. I don't know, I imagine it'd be kind of classy nostalgia.
A fellow creature of habit. I like your "throw back" idea. You should propose it to Joy Couch, our Athletic Director.
