Swoooooooooooooooosh!
I was talking with a friend about how amazing it is that it's already October and how September just flew right by. He countered that since freshman year of college it seems that life has sped by and I realized he's right. It all seems like a blur!
I remember my daily college routine. Start class at 7:45am, make it through class, take a stroll to front campus, walk up to the BP on Route 59, grab a coffee refill and pack of smokes, then head over to the Hub and sit outside and wait for people I know. Those were the days! Hanging outside at one of the windows, studying, writing, people watching, brooding...I wish I had those days back.
And it's funny to think, a good handful of the people I work with went to Kent...I wonder how many I saw on a daily basis, yet never acknowledged nor was acknowledged in return. Thinking back, I have to smile though. The days on campus, either going to or skipping class were ever so nice. I know I can't change the past, but part of me wishes I would have hung around campus more, maybe met or stayed in contact with the "friends" I had.
It doesn't seem that long ago to me. But it has been. Freshman year in college was almost 10 years ago...Is that possible?! No, it can't be! It feels like I graduated just last year...But that's not true, I graduated 4 years ago. I don't like dating myself like that, but wow, what a blur! I remember how I felt during the years, I remember my attitude, my clothing style, the way I carried myself. I remember what I thought about while on my daily strolls, the inner wars I'd wage against me, myself and I (all three of them). It's just...*sigh* amazing how fast time goes by.
There were many good times, and many, many bad...But I guess we all have to go through it to get to our happy place. Knowing how I feel today, I would never want to change something from the past, for fear of screwing up how that'd affect my future.
I could seriously go on and on about this kind of stuff, but I should stop and get back to work. Hooray, I have a new "to be continued" piece to work on :-)
