I ran into a friend of mine from high school this morning when I made my Bojangle's run and his son was getting ready to head off to college. I still remember the day I headed off to college 32 years ago. The excitement of a new adventure was intoxicating. It was a combination of Revenge of the Nerds and Animal House but I managed to stumble my way through the first couple of months until I figured things out or at least I thought I had them figured out and I only woke up passed out on the front steps of the library once or twice.
I still remember when my parents dropped me off at my dorm. My Mom cried and I am pretty sure tht my father did a few victory laps around the parking lot, high fiving all of the other fathers, and I think he may have even done a victory dance before he burned rubber back to his house. Pops started dropping subtle hints when I was in high school when he bought me luggage and a footlocker when I was senior. I thought they came pre-packed with all of my stuff in them. Who knew that my father was the one that put all of my stuff in there?
