We had freshman move in late last week on our university campus. I always feel sorry for the freshman whose parents make employees pose for pictures or video tape the RA giving the student the key to their dorm.

I also didn’t realize how amazing college was until it was nearing its end. I wish I took fuller advantage of those years, instead of keeping a boyfriend throughout and occupying most of my time with him. But we can all look back and wonder “what if we had the chance to do it again?”

I was working on campus today and yesterday (move in days) promoting my two organizations and the freshmen are SO funny to watch. They seriously crack me up…they look so small (I know, I know…they are only 3 years younger than me) and I love them walking around with their parents.

There are students all over campuses over here, too, and I agree, it’s fun to reminisce and project feelings onto their experiences. I must admit, I didn’t super love college at the time (I only about semi-loved it), but I do think back on it fondly now.

This is my first fall without back to school… I miss it!

I think it’s weird to be back on campus as a grad student, being one of the oldest students there (well, you know, as far as “normal-aged” students go). I don’t recognize NEARLY as many people around school!

I think it’s a miracle that we both survived driver’s ed with that drive instructor. He had to have been a serial killer. He made me drive to 7-11! That’s just plain weird.

College was fun. It was this amazing period in my life, so many new but scary experiences, learning things about myself, meeting interesting people, everyday was a challenge. Now the monotony of doing the same thing every day and seeing the same people in my office, on the bus is such drag. But at least now I have a steady income, god! I hated being poor and starving in college. I used to wish I could go back and do it all over again, but not anymore, I’ve moved on and changed so that it probably wouldn’t be like what I remember and I don’t want to taint the memories I have of that time in my life, both good and bad.

I know what you mean. I was incredibly homesick my first year of college, but if I could do it again know what I know now I think I would have an amazing time.
