For some unkown reason, I have recently become very homesick for Stillwater. Little things like hearing a story about college or people talking about college football or even a song on the radio makes me miss it even more. I have even reached the point of almost crying. I don't know what has caused this homesickness, but it needs to end soon.
I think that part of it is due to the fact that I am not ready to fully give up the idea that I have joined the real world and have to work 40 hours plus a week and have responsibilities and the likes. Another thing that makes me miss my college days is the fact that my close friends are now all over the place. While we are all within 5 or 6 hours of each other for the most part, we have to plan out when we are all getting together. I love having twitter and facebook and while I have an addiction problem to both, it is not helping the fact either. This week I have read numerous posts about all my little Zetas getting ready to go back to school for rush and getting to see each other agian. Oh what I would give to be in their place right now.
I know that at some point you have to grow up and move on from your college days and the best four years of your life, but it is harder than I would like for it to be. All I need is a weekend with everyone in the good old town of Stillwater, Oklahoma and I will feel better. Next weekend I have the chance to go and see the Zeta's for mock rush, and while I am dying to see everyone, not everyone will be there, thus it will be difficult to fully cure my homesickness, plus since it is during the weeks of rush, not everyone will be able to come out and the bars won't be the same. I know the old characters like Stripper Steve will be there but unless you are there after school starts it's not the same.
For all my little ones still in school, don't take anything for granted. Live in the moment and live up your years. Don't worry about every little thing about class and your studies, because when you look back at your college experience the things that are going to make you smile, laugh and even cry will be your friends and all the times you shared.
