ONE BY one, we climbed out the bathroom window and onto the roof.
This is a column about politicos, and it's the last one I'll ever write. I've followed them for almost three years now. I've been in their offices, their cars and their apartments. I've eaten lunch with them, gone out for drinks with them and spent too many hours interviewing them on the phone. In the course of those years, through the interviews and the elections and the afternoons spent on the third floor of Newcomb Hall, something about the politico mystique kept me captivated.
Almost every fourth year probably has made The List, an abbreviated name for The List of Things I Must Do Before I Graduate. The list of traditions you still need to try out, activities you still need to attempt and various other things you swore you would do before your college career is over.
Imagine spending four years at the University clawing and scratching your way to the top rung of an organization's leadership.

I went home to New Jersey where I had a chance to spend some time behind the wheel of a car.
Break out your putters and plaid pants. Prepare to hit the green. The politicos are ready to play.
I didn't know what I was stepping on, and I really didn't want to look. Of course, even if I had wanted to look, I wouldn't have been able to. I spent about half an hour early Sunday afternoon fearing for my life, being smashed against hundreds of other rabid Cavalier fans, inching closer and closer to the doors of University Hall and the card swipers who would give us entry.
Last semester, I spent a month mistakenly believing my friend was a member of the Seven Society.
It is a highly touted tip among dieters that drinking eight cups of water a day will speed metabolism and burn calories faster.
I haven't always gotten what I've wanted. I wanted to be tall. I wanted to have good eyesight. I wanted to be the star of the school play in eighth grade. I wanted to be a First-Year Judiciary Committee judge, a University Guide, a Summer Orientation Leader and a member of Resident Staff.
The most coveted merchandise in the male politico fashion realm sits just to the left of the door at Eljo's clothing store on the Corner.
I am a slob. There, I've said it. And now I feel much better.
I'm writing under the influence - of massive doses of decongestants. Feeling a bit loopy, I realize the impossible has happened. I've been left speechless. Quite literally, in fact.
