In 125 days, I'll be back on campus at my alma-mater at an extra special homecoming as Lebanon Valley College continues celebrating its 150th birthday. In honor of that countdown, here's memory #125: turning 18 between semesters of my freshperson year.
My last two posts in this series were of the category "how old was I" ... and today could probably be the opposite -- seeing as how the answer to the question of "how young was I" when I started college was ... pretty darn young. But then again, I was always one of the youngest in my class, what with having graduated high school at 17.5 years, and how my early January birthday meant that I would have a whole semester of college behind me before the government would trust me to do things like voting (and yes, that means I wasn't *legally* drinking until well into my senior year).
To be clear -- these aren't examples of my artwork from that era ... but they are submissions I found in the January 1990 correspondence folder of mine from my nephews, sent to me on that 18th birthday, that I believe can be seen in some pictures on my bulletin board in my dorm room that second semester.
