I spent some time going through the archives this evening. This blog starts during my freshman year in college and it is sobering to go back and re-read the entries.
I was surprised when I saw this picture from around my 20th birthday:
That was only three years ago, and so much has changed. I am not going to live in the archives, but it is nice to know that the posts I write today will have the same time-capsule effect as my odd-ball college posts.
College was fun. There were car-crashes, parties, music, caffeine, and a lot of junk food. There was also Matt, who (along with Carlos!) is one of the must-see people during my upcoming trip back to Miami.
The people I remember as freshmen are college seniors now. Most of my college friends have already graduated, moved out of Florida, and gotten jobs or breast implants…the blog and facebook allows us to stalk keep up with each other, even if we don’t “stay in touch” regularly.
Chronicling the present here makes moving forward that much more exciting because I know in three more years I can look back on today and remember what it felt like to be 23 in the city.
We’ll see how this goes.
