<span>[COLLEGE TOWN (ALL CAPS)]...</span></p> <div> <span>[College Town] is unique. It's the only place I know
where sofas belong on
front porches, golf visors are worn at night, and
[Beer store] had a waiting
list. [Short name for college] is about much more than classes, it's
an experience that you
will treasure your entire life.
</span> </div> <div> <span>What is it about [Acronym for college] that gets in your
blood and intoxicates
you with its sweet [General geographical location adjective] comfort?
Maybe its the beauty of the [on campus park, field, or quad] and the way it
feels to sit on the grass
halfway study before that big test.
Or it Could be...
.. piling in a car with six of your friends and
riding around town on a
sunny afternoon heading out to the [nearby park or reserve]
..catching your favorite local band and
knowing that one day soon
they'll be famous
..hanging out at the [Bar or Restaurant 1] or [Bar or Restaurant 2] or</span> <span>[Bar or Restaurant 3]</span> <span>
catching the beer specials
..spending more time trying to see who's in the
library than you do actually
researching
..scanning [school newspaper crime report summary] to see who got a DUI,
and laughing at the drunk
guy who was arrested for singing in his
boxers
..stopping and realizing when you're out with your
best friends that these
are the people that will one day be in your wedding.
Maybe its the football games, finding a date,
dressing up, trying to
stomach a Beam and Coke at 9 am after a Friday night
that began at [local mexican restaurant]'s happy hour, and recognizing that same
excitement in the eyes of older
alumni who keep coming back year after year, joining
their old friends and
hoping to catch a glimpse of their youthful times at
[College nickname].
We will look back and realize that our time
here was short, but we
made
the best of it. We were only here four of five years
(some people six or
seven, if they knew how to work their parents). Now
we will be making road
trips TO [College Town] instead of FROM it, joining our
old college buddies
still
dressing up for the games and still scanning the
crowd for familiar faces.
We'll be dressing differently and the familiar
faces will be a little
more scarce. We'll look over into that student
section and remember
when...when it was our time here and how quickly it
came and went.
We'll wonder about all those people we use to know;
Where are they now? Are
they successful? What about that cute person I had a
crush on, is he married
or bald?
Yes, we'll lose touch with a lot of people
and names will be
forgotten, but you'll ALWAYS have your close friends
from [College Name]. You'll
email, talk on the phone, play bridge or have supper
clubs on Tuesday nights
and most of your conversations will begin with those
[Number of words used in cheer below] special words to
which will have the power to make you laugh or cry
or simply smile-
"remember
when."
[Cheer used at football games]!
Pass this on to all of your buddies.</span> </div> </div>
