i i practically grew up on a college campus. id walk through the cafeteria or the little coffee shops and see all this girls looking really cute and smart and doing homework with friends over coffee or something. and id wish to be them because they just looked so at ease and confident and happy. but i thought id never be able to do that, it just seemed so out of reach.
well years later, I'm in college. im in a coffee shop with my computer, rewriting a paper on political obligations with one of my best friends here across the table from me, both of us joking how we cant focus on homework, tho we really should. hair in a a pony tail because it was in my face. my boyfriend's plaid hoodie keeping me warm. worn sneakers and books with smart looking titles stacked next to me and a notebook open filled with notes about politics, obligation and philosophical anarchism. gummy worms in my lap, keeping me mildly entertained. and i look over and theres a little girl with her parents (who are professors by the looks of it, both grading papers) reading her book and looking around at the people around her with a look of curious longing. and i realized; i am exactly who i wanted to be.
changing colleges was going to be end of the world, or so i thought. turns out .... it was just the beginning. and i've never been happier
