My Amazing Offspring: Cream and Crimson

College was an experience that everyone should have! I wouldn't trade those years for anything. I got to find out what it was like to live on my own, without actually living on my own because my parents were still supporting me, I was still on their health insurance, etc. I also had the opportunity to pick ANYTHING I wanted to study in college and declare a major. I changed my mind a few times and still ended up graduating with a degree that I don't use. Even though my business degree may not be the job I work in forever, the education I received from the Kelly School of Business will help me in life in general (finance, marketing, management, accounting-all life skill if you ask me). Along with studying and going to school I had more fun than I can even explain. And of course met best friends that I still have today; whom I had all that fun with back in the day. One of the things we still have in common is our love of having fun (and laughing until our faces and sides hurt!) So, what is a great way to HAVE FUN and LAUGH till you cry with old college friends? Plan a tailgate and campus visit together during football season, which my friend Jiffy originated a plan for 6 months ago!!! It was a beautiful day, college friends and my hubby, food and drinks, lots of trips to the port-o-potty that got progressively more disgusting, I got to see the stadium, watch half time, hear the fight song once, play Sink the Biz and eat yummy food at Nicks and take a stroll down Kirkwood. We watched replicas of ourselves a short few (okay, not so few) years ago, saw replicas of ourselves 10 years from now, reminisced, made fun of each other, took lots of pictures , were loud and annoying at a bar, dared each other to do silly things and thought we were the funniest people ever and did I mentioned we laughed a lot??? I have no idea who won the football game, but really don't care. I had so much fun and fully plan to do it again next week....I mean next year. Guess I'm not really in college anymore! But that's okay, I have enough memories and an ongoing relationship with my college BFF's. That's good stuff.
