I'll give you 3 hints to guess where I will be this weekend:
1 - think 1998-2002
2 - think fighting green knights, Abbey bar, Saturday football, crisp fall leaves, dormatories
3 - think beer
Did you guess? That's right folks, 10 year college reunion/homecoming with my besties from SNC!! Bring it. It will be just like 2002 again. Except we're in our mid-thirties and don't all live in the same house (or state, or country for that matter). And we have mortgages and SUVs. And the 9 of us have 12 kids and 2 baking. And we probably won't make it to the after parties with red solo cups. And we probably won't get kegs and eggs. And we don't own pleather pants. And if I had to re-live one night of college partying I'd probably die. But I'm willing to overlook all of that and be those people that the current 20-22 year olds see in the old college bars and laugh at. I could care less. Because little do they know that in 10 years they'll spend an entire year planning their pilgrimage back to DePere, WI to re-live their glory days, jumping at the chance to be carefree and responsiblity-less for a couple of days. And they'll get their hair cut for the first time in 8 months in preparation. And they'll wear matching t-shrits too (or maybe not, probably just us!). Jacks, Shan, A, Nik, Mare, Tams, Stephy and Lizzie - see you tomorrow :)
