What do you do with.....

For some reason today, I felt an overwhelming sense of missing my college life. I can remember coming down freshman year and meeting the wackiest bunch of girls on the third floor of a Jubilee Hall that I have ever met in my entire life.We didn't always like each other for damn sure...but I can honestly say that I have never met anyone like my college friends. I sometimes miss the excitement of not knowing where I would make my next move after graduation. In a way two of the most unlikely people became my main suport system after graduation and they coached me through everything that I went through after graduation, even when it came down to a very horrible domestic situation with my ex boyfriend. They were there to listen to countless stories about how traumatic the situation was for me just as they had been there during all the complaints and bitching I did while he and I were still together.  I will be forever grateful to them for that. Sometimes when I see reruns of certain TV shows or hear songs that were out during college, it makes me reminisce over the times I had with my college friends. It's difficult moving back home to a place where you're from after being away for so long because you some times ask yourself if you belong here.  It's almost like you are an outsider in the place that made you who your are. I don't know sometimes what to do with these memories. I really miss my Nashville family but I know that I have to move on into adult life.  I think the issue is that when you are away from your family and all of the madness and drama that they keep up while you're away at school, you find yourself accepting your friends as your family. When you come home, you miss the carefree life that went along with being with your friends.  I dunno, perhaps I will go now... with my thoughts, I just had to vent.
