Value Size

It has been almost three full years since I graduated from college and even my Colgate hoody (which I am incidentally wearing as I write this) is losing the battle with the washer and has what used to be its maroon fading away. But while most of my college memorabilia are similarly doomed, I do have one true companion still occupying a place of honor in my bedroom (because a makeup shelf is a place of honor): the box of Q-tips that I bought – I don’t even remember when – during my sophomore year? Do people realize how hard it is to finish a value pack of Q-tips? I travel with Q-tips and eagerly give them away and I am the queen of finding ingenious uses for the little fellows. But if there is one thing I know for sure, it is that tomorrow I am going to wake up to a more than sufficient supply of Q-tips. I think that, years from today, when that box that has literally been next to me on so many special and non-special days is at last depleted, I can finally say, now I am through with college.
