I’m back in college, graduation is looming, but there is some test, paper or project due that seems impossible.
Those nights usually produce cold sweats.
But, I always wake up, remember I’ve already got my degree and the halls of academia no longer feel like they’re closing in on me.

| | 90. |  Spirit, not fights, mark local grad ceremonies
I used to joke with a former police chief that there was one good way to maintain order at what were becoming rowdy graduations -- wing the first perpetrator and everyone else would get in line and get the message.It was an obvious joke and, fortunately, for Franklin County, those kinds of compliance methods were never needed.But, last month in Tennessee, a bunch of adults reminded us all just how uneducated folks can be during a graduation.
