Bite your tongue, AchtungBaby! I would have killed to have gone to Kentucky
I wanted to attend UK, Western Kentucky, Dayton, Miami (OH) or Cincinnati. I absolutely, positively, did not want to go to Louisville. My parents pretty much gave me one choice for college...stay home and go to U of L or go where I wanted and pay for it myself. WKU offered some scholarship money, but not enough.
So, I went to Louisville, where my academic record pretty much indicated how much I hated being there. Of course, it wasn't all bad as Louisville since I met my husband of over 14 years there. I also honestly doubt that I'd had the overall Greek Life experience elsewhere that I had at Louisville, especially my AOII experiences. For these reasons, I'm thankful.
Do I still have regrets that I didn't go to Kentucky or Western? Yep, but I wouldn't trade what I have now just to get a chance to do it all over again. Life's too darned good these days.
It took me 10 years to return and graduate with the degree I wanted, but I did it. I also pulled a 4.0 that entire time, and graduated with just over a 3.0. I'm darned proud of that. It's amazing what you can do when you're majoring in what
you want to and not what other's expect you to major in.
