College was a wonderful place.

A year ago, I graduated amid much pomp and circumstance. Smith College Puts on a pretty nice show for graduation. A show which I witnessed this year, from the audience rather than than as a member of the graduating class. This was a slightly odd feeling, but also somewhat reassuring. Though I am only a recent graduate, I still feel strongly tied to the place and it was very nice to stroll around on the familiar campus.

To my relief though, I did not notice any of the signs of keen nostalgia which generally plague me when memories and letting go of the past are involved. The college was familiar in a comforting way, yet I found myself content not to a be a part of it anymore. My life has in fact moved on, and for once, I seem to be moving right along with it.
