Greetings, classmates! It’s been four years since we graduated, but it feels like four minutes. I miss the days when our lives were broken up into bite-size, 10-week chunks and each academic quarter felt like an ocean of time in which anything could happen. Nowadays I measure my life in years, and they seem to be slipping by at an alarming rate. But, as Eliot would have us remember, there is
“Time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And time yet for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of toast and tea.”
Let’s check in with our fellow classmates to see who’s been making the most of their time in these post-college years!
