5 years ago

 so i just found my journal from senior year of high school. Remember that? There was a time in our lives where we went to a building, and they told us where to sit and what to work on and when we could leave (oddly enough, sometimes grown up life isn't so different from that. but that is another blogpost).

but i digress. so i found the page in this journal--dated 4/27/06--that starts "Wow, deciding on a college is difficult". ha! it hit me that there was a day in my life when i DECIDED to take the path that now seems long ago. this collection of thoughts was written the night before i signed my life away to vandy, and boy am i glad i did that. it's funny, because everything is the same now, and everything is different. i found myself rolling my eyes at high school me, right before the irony hit me of how similar many of my hopes, dreams, and thoughts are still.
by the 2nd to last paragraph, i was already writing about vandy as my dream. even though i made a pro/con list on the next page. i knew, all along, it was the place for me.
