Bam! Feel that? That’s the feeling of the summer coming to a close, and the real world setting in here at school.† Yes, while some of you couldn’t wait to go Mom’s at 2 o’clock in the morning and wake up from your afternoon naps to the shrill of bagpipes, there are still some fellow Scots who want the country-wide heat wave that was this summer to never end. Although these people are probably seniors not wanting to embark on Independent Study, take solace in the fact that this summer was incredibly eventfulÖeven if you were stuck at some boring internship acting as a makeshift secretary because your company was too cheap to hire a new one. You know, there weren’t too many events missing from this summer ó except for a new Taylor Swift album (don’t worry ó it’s debut is slated for October!).

So let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we? And the top five events from the summer of 2010 wereÖ

5. Scot Center renovations

While I’ll only get to use the currently-under-renovation Scot Center for about a semester, the project taking up about $30 million is finally starting to look like something. Of course, over the summer I went to Wooster’s website and checked the live webcam to see the process. In fact, I spent even more time thinking about what our school could spend $30 million on. You know, like TWO Scot Dog carts.

4. LiLo and Snooki went to jail

Anyone who’s anyone reads TMZ.com, and, like, duh I was totally ticked off when they arrested Snooki for being “drunk and disorderly.” She’s drunk and disorderly on Jersey Shore, and for reasons beyond me she doesn’t get arrested. As far as LiLo goes, she found her way behind bars for handling some illegal substances as well as violating her probation. I hope she gets out soon, because I’m expecting a Herbie: Fully Loaded sequal. My fingers are crossed.

3. Rookie pitcher sweeps baseball

Stephen Strasburg. Ever heard the name? If you haven’t, you lived under a rock or kept your TV on coverage of the BP Oil Spill. Strasburg, the phenom rookie pitcher for the Washington Nationals, debuted earlier this season and amazed fans ó and opposing batters ó with his 100-MPH fastball and devastating breaking ball. On away games he pitched, fans would sell out stadiums just to see him. It was pure Stras-mania. However, it was just the Nationals luck when the future of their organization blew out his elbow and required arm-surgery. Let’s hope John Wall isn’t paying attention.

2. “Entourage” returns

What excites a college bro more than frat parties, the new iPhone and lacrosse? “Entourage.” This summer the seventh season of HBO’s award winning comedy aired, and there’s more drama than ever with Vince, E, Drama, Turtle, and my personal favorite, Ari. With so many cameos this season, like Adrian Peterson and Mark Cuban, sports fans everywhere continuously tune in to HBO Sunday nights to find out who Vince is dating and how he’s finding new reasons for missing roles and ticking off directors. However bad the show gets, people will watch, much like they watched a certain NBA star’s hour-long special. Speaking of whichÖ

1. LeDecision

LeBron James is taking his talents to South Beach ó did you hear? In this part of the country, however, LeBron turned his back on Cleveland, and in turn murdered any title hopes for a now dreadful sports city. In an excruciatingly drawn out and poorly directed special on ESPN, we watched as Jim Gray asked James question upon question, until finally about a half hour into the program ask him what his decision was. James joins Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to create an all-star team of their own in Miami, and at the same time striking fear in the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s Browns season now, right? In Joshua Cribbs we trust, I guess.
