Topic: Things I miss about college…damn nostalgia!!!
I miss that you can make the news for throwing too big a party
I miss that wearing your school sweatshirt gives you a sense of pride (would you ever wear a shirt w/ your company’s name on it?)
I miss the idea of picking a place to call home for 4 years, and knowing that thousands of people exactly your age are doing the same thing, and many will be choosing the same home
I miss the shared experience of drinking at 4pm happy hours on Thursday afternoons
I miss looking through the course catalog for days, because I can’t decide what I want to take, and making a college schedule is both an artform, and the most freedom you’ll ever have in planning your working life
I miss the idea of being in the planning stage of your life
I miss the feeling of “responsibility and adulthood,” that college brings, as well as the feeling of complete childishness and play
I miss Center Court (our dining hall) and their all you can eat meals, especially weekend brunches
I miss sitting in the quad comprising my day
I miss the possibility of romancing w/ a girl on virtually any given weekend
I miss playing raquetball in the AC, basketball on the South 40, and frisbee in the swamp
I miss the identity that comes with “being in college” and “being a Wash U student”
I miss spending all my time with friends who are now scattered across the country
