This weekend I went to visit some friends back at college to celebrate one of my old roommates', Rena's, birthday. I woke up at an awful hour on Friday morning and hopped on a bus...stylish, I know. There was free wireless on the bus, unfortunately, it made me car sick so after about 10 minutes, I had to put the computer away. No one sat next to me on the bus, so even though we had to pull over at one point so the driver could fix his side mirrors (this was after we'd been on the bus for over an hour, I couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't been able to see that whole time), I couldn't complain. I surprised my roommate and then the next night we had a party for her. It was good to see her and my other roommates; I was glad I decided to go.
I realized that while I'm out here in New York and my friends are either interning while living on campus or going to class, I forget that I'm still a student. Normally I am glad to be away from school and love being able to work and get a taste of what's ahead of me. The closer I get to graduation though, the more I want to stay in school and take it easy. It was a nice to be reminded that college awaits me when I'm done here, and I get one last 4 month chance to do homework instead of work late nights on a deadline. Or to call people all day to plan a fun Friday night out instead of spend the day on a conference call. I'm not saying I want to be in school forever, but sometimes you have to pull over and adjust your mirrors to get a better view of where you've been, and where you're headed..
