I've heard a lot of people talking about how Inaugural Ball is coming up and 'it'll be great and all, but it won't be anything like 2008' and I'm already sick of it and we're still a month out from Inauguration 2013.
My response is usually, 'well it'll be great because I wasn't here last time to experience it so it'll definitely be awesome.' I honestly don't understand how GW students can be so jaded about things like this that really do happen #onlyatgw. I mean, how many college kids can say that they're able to walk down the street and take part in any Presidential Inauguration, but especially the one that marks the start of President Obama's second term? No matter your political persuasion, that's pretty awesome and pretty unique.
With the Inauguration coming up and the Inaugural Ball, that means it'll be my last semester of undergrad at GW. This year has already been really awesome and marked by plenty of #onlyatgw moments, so it'll be great to start out my last semester in such an incredible way.
Not only will a President I helped to elect start his second term in office, but I will be able to dress up and go to a ball at the Omni Shoreham Hotel which has a really cool history of its own, with guests such as the Beatles and hosting FDR's inaugural ball (he was present) and President Clinton's as well.
This is an epic city, for lack of a better adjective and Something surely Happens Here. I hope that everyone opens their eyes and realizes what this school and this city have to offer, because they will not disappoint.
