If all goes according to plan, I will walk across the stage of Anderson Arena in about two weeks and make my formal exit as an undergraduate student at the University.

I have a tendency, during great milestones in my life, to reflect on the circumstances that led me to that point. I did the same when I got my high school diploma four years ago, when I started going to church again two years ago and when I crashed my canoe against a fallen tree and tumbled into the Hocking River two weeks ago.

And now, on the eve of my college graduation, I’m once again asking myself, “how did I spend my time?”

Well, some of it was spent at City Tap in good company. And Jerome Library took a sizable chunk out of my freshman year. But I think most of my time was spent writing about how others spent theirs.

So of course my last In Focus (my swan song, if you will) is a representation of what I spent nearly my entire college career doing — it’s a window into what, exactly, students do all day. And all night.

The photo spread here covers from 10 p.m. Thursday to 3 p.m. Friday. We tried to get roughly one photo per hour, but it didn’t always work out like we wanted.

Which is fine. News is rarely linear. And I’m sure there were plenty of events we missed.

But the point of this month’s In Focus is not to justify the photos we took, or to prove the old adage “the news never sleeps.”

It’s to show how other students are spending their time here before they also have to walk across that stage.

And it’s also to ask, how are you spending yours?
