Oh, Danny Glover. Truer words were never spoken. This past weekend I made the trek back to my college to see some old friends and "celebrate." While it was undeniably a good time, I realized that I am beyond past my college years. It's been 2 years since I was a student, and apparently I aged more in those two years than I have in my entire life.
It's weird when you realize a part of your life is truly gone. There have been times since graduation that I've thought how great it would be to back in school, but this weekend, I realized that there's no way I could ever go back. While it makes me sad to realize that an era is officially over, I'm also pretty happy. I don't think I ever want to get to a point in my life when I go "Oh XYZ were the best days of my life." I feel like that is a pretty depressing thought. I'm 24 and if I'd already peaked, what would I have to look forward to?
Once again, a musical sums up my life perfectly. Avenue Q's song I Wish I Could Go Back to College has been in my head for awhile now, and I finally found the original cast singing it on Regis and Kelly. It's a crazy shitty version seeing that someone literally taped the tv screen AND the pianist fucked up and skipped 4 bars in the beginning, but at least it's something.
