A College Girl at Heart
I've always been a college girl at heart and I always will be. I don't
miss the pop quizzes, the midterms, the droning professors or my old
crazy dorm mate with the shifty eyes. What I miss is the culture of
college. I miss the all night talkathons with my best friend, watching
movies in the college break room, and going out on Friday night with my
friends. But most of all, I miss my college clothes.
College was where I learned
how important comfort is to your sense of self. In college clothes
matter very little, at least at the school I went to. With a student
population in the thousands one has the opportunity to escape into your
own personal world. Whether I showed up to class in sweats and a
T-shirt or a skirt and a blouse it didn't matter. In college I really
learned what it was to live my own life away from everyone else. My
hair, my clothes, my car did not matter to anyone. The only thing that
mattered was how far I wanted to go in my education and my
intelligence. It was a great relief to have those four years to figure
out who I wanted to be.
Since then there have been moments
where I missed that old safe feeling of college. I know I can't go
back, but I miss it just the same. So whenever I am feeling blue, I
just pull on my old pair of jeans, put on that college T-shirt and
remember those early mornings before class. And in that moment I find
that college girl in me again and I find that peace I have been looking
for.
