I Knew You When

Remember when the only concern was where the next party was going to be? And not necessarily where the next party was going to be but whose house you were going to hang out at that night? In college that was where all of our concerns seemed to be. I mean, yes I was concerned with my grades a great deal, but the social aspect seem to have a greater effect on me. Now, it's like all of our priorities are different. Not that it is bad thing but things seemed to be so simple before. My biggest concern use to be, "How are we getting to the bar?" and now it is, "God! I need to save up enough money for rent and every other bill I have. I can't be late to work because I am a manager and that wouldn't go over well. God, I hope my car doesn't break down!" and so on and so on. I guess I do miss those days to some degree. College was AMAZING for me!! The best four years of my life. However, I will say that my years after college haven't been that bad. I am having a pretty good time right now and it's good to grow up. It is just different! What was once fun isn't necessarily true anymore. I use to be a big party animal and don't get me wrong, I still love a good party, but not like I use to. My body can't handle it and it doesn't appeal to me anymore. I guess I knew I would eventually grow out of it to some degree. I just didn't know when!
