Can't believe it's over
I still can't believe that school's over. 4 years just went by. It does feel like four years though. I'm really going to miss this place. I've been waiting for this moment for the longest time, especially when I've been stressed out with school work. However, I know that I'll realize that school is a piece of cake compared to life and trying to find a job and trying to get by on my own.
I've been listening to Avenue Q lately, like just an hour ago while I was in my car, "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" came on. And just last Friday before I went to the anthropology lunch, a fellow anthro senior/classmate/peer of mine told me that she was going to Vegas, but she was sad because she wanted to see a musical that had left there. The first thought that came to mind was, "OMG, could it be Avenue Q?" And it was! It was funny because an hour before we met up for the lunch, I was thinking of the song "What Do You Do With a BA in English?" from Avenue Q. Anyway, I told her not to fret because the show is touring, but she said she wanted to see the original cast... well, you can't have EVERYTHING in life.
Anyway, when "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" came on in the car, I wondered, "How long will it take before that song actually means something to me?"
KATE MONSTER:
I wish I could go back to college.
Life was so simple back then.
NICKY:
What would I give to go back and live in a dorm with a meal plan again!
PRINCETON:
I wish I could go back to college.
In college you know who you are.
You sit in the quad, and think, "Oh my God!
I am totally gonna go far!"
I've been listening to that song ever since I've been in college and it's always been funny because I was living in the moment so I was like, "I don't know if I will really miss all of this stuff when I'm gone." In any case, I took advantage of my meal plans. I took lots of pictures. I never stayed up around 4 AM in the computer lab though. But yeah, I'm sure in a few years, that song will actually mean something to me... and I can actually say "I wish I could go back to college" and really mean it.
