Best of Week: The Beginning of the End

Going out to dinner, going to a friend's house, trying to attempt to watch a full whole movie without talking through it or end up not watching it, eating more food, talking about an issue that every single person contributes to, staying up until 6 in the morning, walking up four hours later, eating what's left over from the previous night for breakfast, carpooling friends home, and ending up sleeping in your own bed. This is how De La Cru have sleepovers.

I think that the best thing that happened this week was the De La Cru sleepover we had on Friday night. It was the last time that that we were together as this year's team because try-outs for next year's team is this week. This means that after this week, I'm officially done with DLC forever...

I honestly can't believe that after being on the team for 4 years, it's finally over. The only veterans of DLC that were also on it for 4 years are myself and two other girls on the team: Carly Goranson and Caitlin Fitzpatrick. It's just simply surreal.

At the end of the night, when we were all snuggled in our sleeping bags and laying on the floor in circle, we were talking about future Cru. Baby Cru (otherwise known as the members that are going to be on the team next year) are worried about next year's team since they don't know what they are going to do. So all the seniors told their advise and things they should do in order to keep the spirit of the team alive. And at that point, that got me thinking about Humanities.

At some point, we talked about whether or not life is linear or cyclical; whether or not life has a beginning, middle and end or it just everlastingly continues in cycles. Even though for Caitlin, Carly, and I (as well as the rest of the seniors on the team) think that our lives as DLC members was linear, if you look at it as a whole, the spirit of DLC is certainly cyclical. Even though all the seniors are leaving, we still have our juniors and sophomore to continue to keep DLC alive.

It will be a very sad moment when we have our last event together (which is an end of the year ceremony with our coaches) but I'm excited to come back to visit and watch all the performances of the future De La Cru. Hopefully I'll be able to restrain myself from getting up from my seat and going on stage to dance with the team as if I never left.
