Things I definitely don't miss about college.

After a recent visit to college I was reminded of several reasons why I'm glad to not be going back this fall.



1. Traffic in Gainesville. Not being able to run back to the apartment before rehearsal because rush hour traffic = 1 hour round trip.

2. Taking buses to campus. Taking buses home from campus. Not being able to park on campus until exactly 4:30? (I don't remember the time).

3. Exams. Studying. Not studying enough. Thinking you're studying enough but not getting the grade you think you deserved.

4. Rain on campus. Being absolutely drenched from your flip flops to your ponytail once you get in a highly air conditioned classroom or bus.

5. Listening to dumb conversations on the bus.

6. Walking up the hill from the psych building to the theater building.

7. All-nighters.

8. Papers. Papers. Papers.

9. Being 1,000 miles away from Matt.

I guess you can imagine that I miss about every single freaking other thing. Friends, taking classes, the library, working on shows all the time, rolls 'n bowls, buying school supplies, being forced to read all the time, themed parties, having an excuse for being undecided, facebook stalking, easy party crashing, being around young people...and deadlines.

Most importantly deadlines. Because now there is no end in sight for anything unless I choose. The hardest part about choosing is the follow-through (obviously). So even though I have all these loose plans - no one is going to pick a deadline for me, for my life, or my goals. It's all on me now.

I'M READY TO MAKE MY MOVE.
