This past weekend I returned to my old stomping grounds...college! My little brother graduated from the engineering school at Ole Miss and I couldn't be more proud. I graduated from Ole Miss 3 years ago and this whole time I have been trying to figure out what I wanna do with my life. I have had some major setbacks in this process, but also some amazing adventures. My breakup was difficult along with working towards my second degree. But I also have met some of the most amazing people this year that I would not be who I am right now without them. I have spent so much time focusing on what I should be doing...career, marriage, family, house, car, etc and not nearly enough on what I want to be doing while I am still young. So when I got back to Oxford, I went out with a bunch of college kids, aka my brother and his friends. I had the most amazing time. We went to dinner on a fabulous patio and then went to a house party. I can not tell you the last time I went to a house party. I was living my youth again and on my turf. Obviously it was not the same without all my sorority sisters and my friends, but it was darn close. I felt more alive and even though I was the oldest person hanging out with all of them, I never felt that my age was a factor. It made me miss my college experience so much and what I wouldn't give to go back there again. This weekend taught me that at some point I have to grow up, but right now I just am not ready. And for the first time in a long time, I think that I am okay with that. I have the rest of my life to be grown up. Right now I want to embrace my youth and happy at where I am in my life. Oh the things that Ole Miss can teach me.
