College is the best 5 years of life

If I could relive the past 5 years of my life, I would my 19 year old self to get a journal, because wow are you going to have some stories. 5 years ago, I was a freshman in college, and totally unprepared for the next 5 years of my life (evidenced by the fact that it took me 5 years to be a graduating senior!).A lot of experiences were new, many were fun, and some were downright awful. But I don’t think I would change anything, because they were all necessary and have helped shape the person I have become.  After all the parties, though, my memories aren’t as clear as I’d like them to be though..hence why I think a journal would be a nice thing to have on me the next time around.

No wasted minutes!

I like to approach life like a cellphone contract: once you’re in it, its very hard to get out of; it’s crazy expensive; all of them are basically the same, only with different bells and whistles; and if you like to pay-as-you-go? You quickly learn not to waste your minutes! If I knew that my cell service was going to be cut off in two weeks, I’d like to think that I wouldn’t change a thing. Sure, I might say an apology or to, just for karma’s sake, but I wouldn’t have to make any drastic life changes because I am already fulfilling everything I want to do. I would keep on hanging out with the friends who made me laugh, the family I know who cares, and see the concerts for bands I know I love. No need to spend time and money on some grand gesture trip to see the Eiffel Tower- I’d be far more happy staying here, continuing to live the dream.

If you do so, you justify being a dog lover.

Ranches aren’t all fun and games

Growing up, I always liked where I lived. First, I lived in a nice apartment in the city with a great picture window that overlooked the river. I loved taking the elevator every day and stepping out into a bustling street. When I was older, however, we moved to a smaller city nearby, and traded our 32 year old apartment complex for what was to quickly become the bane of my existence: a ranch style home. Who made these houses?! Certainly no one with kids. As a child, I had enjoyed full use of three different elevators and fire escape stairs. How did my mom expect me to adapt to life in a home that didn’t even have a single staircase?! I think a house without stairs is absolutely absurd. If I could do anything, I would knock off the roof, add a couple of stories for good measure, and build an elegant central staircase to connect them all- because that’s what a good house needs.
