“The wrong egg is in the nest.” -My mom

We took my little brother up to Colgate University on Thursday, where he is now a freshman. It was a sad, surreal day. The house is quiet without him, and the omnipresent, smiling college students welcoming us to Colgate only reinforced the depressing fact that I’ve graduated. This is why I plan to become a professor, so I can go to college forever. Above is the lake at the base of Colgate (the entire campus is built on a hill) and here are Sam and I outside of his dorm.
