An Ode to College


In yesterday's post I brought up "college me" -- a girl who wanted to be a big fish in a little pond in desperate need of an attitude and perspective adjustment.  Today, I give you permission to giggle at college me...


Yes.  Laugh.  If you aren't currently laughing, I know you are trying to hold it in.  That picture on the left -- hilarious.  What's more hilarious is that is the picture that I posted all around campus on my student council campaign posters (i won).  The picture on the right -- senior year, my townhouse roommates.  I have a comb-over and a piece of leather tied around my neck.  American Eagle jeans an da (borrowed) pop-collard Lacoste polo.  Cool.

Some more random pictures from the 4 years that were college.  


College me was in a sorority (adpi).  I took 4 years of ROTC and was sure to wear matching accessories and lipgloss to field events.  One fall, I had a pet pumpkin named squatty.  I carried him around some and eventually left him to rot in my neighbors dorm room.  I went to Viet Nam with the history department and used my souvenirs as a Halloween costume.  I worked at a summer camp and met a really cute boy.  

A random smattering of photo history and information, but all a part of my story.  Do you feel like you know me better now, or have I left you more confused?

How is it that I felt so old and mature then?  

Dear College.  You changed my life.  Love, Blair.

  2. I am in LOVE with college Blair! Hilarious and fun and full of life! Kind of makes me wish I knew you back then, too. For the record, knowing you now is equally as awesome.
