I'm trying to find a feel-good cultural marker for my senior year.
Most people refer to that period as the beginning of something "Great" but it's in more of a quantitative rather than qualitative sense

The biggest thing in my memory is that the Vietnam draft ended two years before my senior year. We all turned cartwheels for years after that was announced.

I'm getting #1 this afternoon. My wife and a couple of co-workers characterized the reaction as being like a hangover.

For whatever reason, stuff from my senior year is a bit of a blank spot. Freshman year ('91/'92) stuff sticks out more. Then comes the stuff from my early 20s, which has strong associations.

I was lucky enough to have been born in late 1957, so I never had to even register.
