Coming home made me really nostalgic and got me thinking about a few of the things I miss. So, here are a few. Stars-There are millions of stars visible on a clear night on the Mountain. In Russellville, there are about three. Football-I really miss that. Going to Proms-Oddly enough, there's something enjoyable about getting dressed up and cutting loose and dancing. My friends that have gone away for whatever reason (in no particular order)-Shannon, Randall, Mike, Jimmy, Forrest, Alexandra, Mark, Andy, Boyo, Curtis, DJ, Kristen, all my Ron Paul buddies, Jacqueline, Emily, Anthony, and Adrian among others. High school band. High school-it was good to me. I had a great time. It was pretty simple. I always knew my friends and what I was doing. Plano-some of my best memories are of visiting my aunt and grandmother in Plano. Familial strife and my grandmother's passing put an end to the Texas trips. Snow My brother-He was in town last weekend, and I missed him. I should've made more of an effort to see him. My brother and I have a great relationship, and I don't get to see him enough. I miss being on the mountain and commuting to school and work. That summer that I worked on the Ranch and took Driver's Ed for two weeks, reading Frank Peretti novels and hanging out with Sim and Greg. Paintball-shit was so fun. I can't believe I stopped playing. Living on campus-Paine Hall was the place to be. I really miss it sometimes. Being a Freshman-new experiences abounded, and I had a great time meeting new people and experiencing new things. I might've cut loose a little harder than I should have, but it was an incredible time. Being an officer in Sinfonia with my Best Buddy Travis.
Well, enough of my nostalgia trip. What do you miss? |
