Tonight was my first time going to Spring Sing in Pauley Pavilion and it was a really fun experience.  The one thing I love about being indoors is that I won’t get cold!  So tonight I could really focus on the performances at hand.  Also, I went with Panda and Houdini and some other friends I haven’t seen in a long time, which made it very enjoyable too.  Now what really struck me about the night, as I was watching all the great entertainment that Company (the crew that does the comedic skits between all the acts) does, was how much I will miss some of my Bruin moments.

A lot of what they do is inspired by making parodies of what life on campus is like for students and there are more than your fair share of inside jokes.  I haven’t been away long enough to really miss college, but hearing about swiping into the dining halls and the crazy squirrels reminded me of the fond memories I’d created along the way.  There was one joke about passing out a book called “Wild Animals” on Bruinwalk that I didn’t get because it came about after I left.  I’m going to be sad when more and more of those references begin to slip by me as I get outdated.  Thankfully, there will always be our staple jokes about Trojans and North vs. South campus and Bruinwalk.  I’m starting to miss the good old times, when I was one of those “in” students who understood everything.
