Davidson

God Bless the 704! I went back for Spring Frolics last weekend and man do I love Davidson. Although I don't miss studying 24/7, I miss everything else about that place. I miss SigEp, an Honor Code that works beautifully, People-Watching in the Union, Community, Thursday Night Worship followed by Thirsty Thursdays at the Brickhouse, Vail Commons, Joel's(the sauce), Dr. Putnam,Wildcat Muffins, Over-priced quesos at the Union, Beast, Chambers, feeling cool because you know or recognize every single person you see every second of the day, Laundry Service, The Court, The Sparrow's Nest, people opening doors and asking 'How are you doing?', Southern Hospitality, wearing flip flips all the time, Bonners, Community Service, Room in the Inn, the logo with a diamond in the underline(shown below), and even the BaseBrary. Man do I love Davidson.
Speaking of Davidson, I ran into Stephen Curry, a.k.a. Mr. Davidson, outside the Brickhouse on Thursday night. He had a phenomenal season and NCAA tournament. He singlehandedly put Davidson College on the map. It is crazy that grade deflation, perhaps the most respected Honor Code in the world, and academics that are tougher than Harvard could not get us the street cred that Curry has given us. I was star-struck when I saw Stephen so I blurted out, "Stephen, you are the man! You put Davidson on the map." He humbly smiled and laughed after I said that. It is true though. He has the sweetest jumper in the game along with a solid head on his shoulders. He gives God all the props and is focused on getting an education. I admit I was kind of a stalker the whole time Stephen Curry was in the bar.
