Making the Most: I Ain't Got No Regrets

Just kidding... everyone has some regrets, even if they're little things or big things.

I was just stalking myself on Facebook (don't lie, you do it too!), going through all the old photos, all the way back to Freshman Year.

Here's a super blurry photo from the Fall of my Sophmore Year. 

I took a look at this photo, and at the time I remember being disappointed that it was so blurry, because it actually looks like a pretty cool candid shot of me and a close friend of mine. Now, I just love the blurriness, because it allows me to imagine all the details as perfect, instead of reality.

Looking back, I started to feel this intense pull in my chest that said, "Go back... those were the best years of your life... you were so happy then..."

Listen, these are not the thoughts of a G! I had to check myself, because A) It's not possible to time travel back to college, B) Theses thoughts are really unproductive and don;t help me live my life right now, and finally C) I'm exhausted at 26, and I only go out once in a while. WHAT?! There's a zero percent chance I would survive college. In all reality, I would go back to school and end up trying to take care of all the silly little girls around me who haven't learned all their lessons yet.

No, I think I'll keep my two bedroom apartment, my quiet Sunday mornings without a vicious hangover, having a full time job, and therefore a fully stocked kitchen, and clean sheets, like most of the time.

But, in order to get myself together, I thought, "what is it that I actually miss about college?" so that I could end these negative feelings I had. Here's a short list:

1. Spending a lot of time with very close friends
2. Taking photos of everything, because why not? It's so easy to keep the memories in this digital age
3. Being adventurous, spontaneous, and carefree

These are all things that I'm going to strive for in my life as a twenty-something, to recreate some of those positive things that I miss from my college life! Let's all live in the present, y'all!
