As I looked down the race course watching our novice boats come through the line, I thought to myself how much more time they have to improve and just how many more times they get to race Head of the Hooch. How much time they have while my time here has seemingly run out. This thought process leads to me thining about how much I am going to miss my team next year; FSU Crew has been everything for me for the past four years, how am I expected to let that go so easily? What am I going to do without these people? My mind questioned and continued to wonder, "If I had not joined my freshman year, where would I be at this very moment?" "How would my life be different?" It even puzzled me to think about how I ended up in this sport. The Greatest of the Fall Regattas- Head of the Chattahoochee would be my last fall race after returning the past four years to race the same race and then the thought crossed my mind, "What am I doing here? How much have I missed out on just to be a collegiate athlete?" "What am I supposed to do next year?" Deleuze and Guattari say, "Where are you going? Where are you coming from? What are you heading for? These are totally useless questions." I guess I will have to follow their words of advice and leave the useless questions behind and enjoy my last year as a rower of The Florida State University.
