I miss college a lot. I don't miss writing papers or studying for tests, but going to the dining hall with friends, napping right after, going days in sweats and hoodies, I miss it all. I mean, working and being independent is cool because not everyone is lucky to get to work full time, but like cutiepatootie said, it would be great to have a lot less adult responsibilities. I mean, it was a time when I could be a grown man, and feel proud of myself for making smoothies every other day for other students.
I also miss catching a greyhound or an amtrak to get home for break and staring out the window. Nothing screamed "college" more than that; comfortable and warm in my Alpha or U of M hoodie, crazy people all around, bothering me while I read the Onion. Really, I miss breaks. I have to be at work every day except the big major holidays. I'd love to have one more unneccessarily long winter vacation. I gotta get back to work now. But my heart is still lying in the grass next to my frisbee.
College days, swiftly pass, imbued with mem'ries fond,
And the recollection slowly fades away...
