A Day In The Life
Of A G-W Student
One would think that the usual
college student would wake up in
the morning after a great night of
sleep and say, “Good morning
beautiful world, it’s great to be
alive.” That phrase went out with
General George Custer. Today
things have changed. Instead, if
yuor around a dorm at 7:30 in
the morning you may hear, “I
can’t believe I drank the whole
thing, I just can’t believe 1 drank
the whole thing,” or “Today is like
yesterday, 1 wish today was tomor-
After the clock goes off and you
climb out of bed, you wonder if
the nights are getting shorter and
classes longer. When you roll over
and shut the alarm off and see
that it is 7:30, one may say “It
can’t be 7:30 in the morning, I
just went to sleep.” But it is up,
up and away — charge! To the
shower, brush your teeeth, dress,
and rush to grab a bite to eat in
the lunchroom! Donoughts, O. J.,
boy that was a great two do
noughts. Oh, No! 9:00, Dr. Brown
will be very upset if I’m late
