Today I drove past the Toyota Center to head to a doctor’s appointment and saw kids in blue caps and gowns. And I realized that eight years ago, I was one of those kids graduating at the Toyota Center. I remember I was both excited and sad that my high school days were over. Sad because I said goodbye to many of my friends but excited to be going away for college in the fall.

I wanted to tell those kids what lots of people told me when I was that age: Enjoy it because it goes by so quickly. Soon college will be over and you’ll get a job and get married and buy a house and have kids. Then you’ll see kids graduating one day and think, oh, life used to be much simpler then. And you’ll want to tell them to enjoy it too. 

Blue carpet. BLUE.

Don’t make fun of me — I made a collage of celeb guys and put it in my closet.

This kitchen was so gross. Many Margaritas were had here.

My old bed. My roommate’s was on the right. This room is smaller than my bedroom right now but we got along great.

Today of all days, I find myself missing Baylor. I regret not finishing my degree there and walking around that old campus at night. Did you know they still have fainting couches in some of the bathrooms in burleson quad (pictured above).

I miss going to Pen(is)land for brunch on Sundays and watching everyone come in after church. I would still be in my pajamas half of the time. Now I do the same thing except at Mission Burrito (not in pjs though).

Mostly I miss having my good friends next door (freshman year) or within walking distance (sophomore year). I even found pictures of my extremely shitty apartment sophomore year (pictures to be posted soon) and I miss that place too.

I think what I miss most was the simplicity of it. I could pull all nighters because I only had school to worry about. My friends were all close by. No bills, adult issues, no job.

What I regret the most was that I got a free ride at a good college and I threw that away.
