i was at my old alma mater last week for a recruiting trip and really enjoyed the time. it's been a long time since i was there (3 years ago for anna & rick's wedding) and even longer since i graduated (6 years ago now!). it was interesting to remember who i was then and what i wanted out of life since you spend a lot of time in college thinking about where you're headed (or at least i did, i spent a lot of time writing in my journal in coffee shops!) :)
a lot has changed there, several new buildings and WAY more eateries and places to hang out than ever existed when i was there. it's neat to see the progress and exciting to be part of an institution that continues to get better but part of me wants it to stay exactly the same as when i was there. silly i know :)
but looking back on everything that's happened since i headed off to college: has it all turned out the way i planned? absolutely not! but i'm 100% happy with how it has turned out and that's all that matters :)
a few photos:
freshman year, day one. sarah m. and i were potluck roommates :)
senior year, from the left, sarah s., cyndi, regan and me (we all lived together junior and senior year) :)
also senior year, anna and sarah m. -- they co-oped, so every other semester they were away for work.
my home away from home! (once after a bad break-up, i said to sarah s.... "you know i really haven't been sleeping well since he and i broke up." she said "do you think that's because you're spending ALL your time at the coffee shop?" hmmmm.....)
and finally, graduation! from the left, cyndi, me, and sarah s.
