Listening to songs from Never Gone reminds me so much of the bench, where my friends and I spent most of our senior year. Whether we were cramming for a test, rushing a paper, freaking out before orals, meeting the whole troop for lunch, or just plain hanging out, the bench was home to us. It was a baggage counter, a makeshift couch, a food hall, and a computer terminal/multimedia center thanks to Friday, Travelmate, and Twinhead. It witnessed our happy times, lazy days, ecstatic kilig moments, thesis stress, endless pig outs, and it willingly hid us when we just didn't want to face the world. It gave us a place to come home to after a long day dealing with irrational teachers, failed exams, demanding org work, even unrequited love. It was a sanctuary that made us comfortable in every possible way, despite the hard wood the three log benches are made of. It supported us all quite well, and taught us to truly support each other too. I hope this year it would bring wonderful memories to those who found the use for it, and that they treat each other the same way we did. :)
