Hinman College New Year 97

I had an uncontrollable urge to scan another old photo last night.

Hinman College New Year 97
me, Jean, Kristin, Lori, Melissa, Tara, Usama, Roy, Brent

Here we are, my junior year at college, celebrating at Kristin’s house. I first titled this photo “Resident Assistants Christmas 96” because, well, we were all Resident Assistants at Binghamton University and this was Christmas. Then I noticed the champagne glasses and the date “1/97” written on the back of the photo (an early form of embedding meta data?) and realized that a better title would probably be “Resident Assistants New Year 97”. But was Brent an RA? He was certainly heavily involved in the Hinman College community, but I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t remember if he was an RA or not. He was my freshman and sophomore year roommate for goodness sake! So I widened the field by naming it “Hinman College New Year 97”, though a more appropriate title would probably have been “Hinman College (and Jean) New Year 97” since she didn’t even go to our college. Whatever. We were all friends. 🙂

  1. That IS an old photo! And I had quite a head of hair then myself. I didn’t become an RA until August 1997, so your revised title is a bit more accurate.

    1. That’s why I couldn’t remember if you were an RA or not – you were hired just a few months after I was fired! I was long gone, living the desolate off-campus life of debauchery while you were organizing hall meetings. Good times…
