Octave is going through some end-of-the-year emotional turmoil right now. We recently held our first annual Rite of Spring Dance Party. It was crazy and full of fake blood and sacrificial virgins (Nobody was harmed, unless you count some clothing that got horrendously stained). Three of our members, Ben, Ian, and Rebecca, are all leaving for 9th block to take a course in Chicago. Two of us, myself (Colin), and Anna are heading into the very end of our college careers. There have already been tears about the pending separation of the original Octave family. At least two of us have claimed that Octave has been the closest thing to a second family that we've had in our lives. We have something special here and we're sad to see it go.
But time moves on, and we have to as well. Next year will bring its own fun events and tearful goodbyes. This is how life works. However, we as Octave are a family, and families stay in touch.
For non-members that read this, if there are any (I don't think the groupies know this exists), we have appreciated your support throughout the year. We might have a couple more posts, but who knows. If you haven't read the article about us on the website, here's a link: http://www.cornellcollege.edu/admissions/opportune-moments/octave.shtml.
And if want to know what we look like, or why we consider ourselves to be a family, check out these group shots:
Horizons: expanded.
