It’s spring break, so we’re visiting colleges. Driving out
to the Midwest and flying back home. After the week I’ve had, I’m tempted to
just keep on driving, but I came across this quote that I love. I can’t
guarantee it was actually said by Elizabeth Taylor, and she’s never been a role
model of mine, but I do like the quote, regardless of the author:
The four of us are visiting colleges over spring break—The
General is the one actually looking, but Banana Girl can benefit and if it
saves us a trip (or a few) later on, then all the better. And we’re visiting my
husband’s and my alma mater, which is going to be great! Of course, we’re
adding in some visits with friends along the way, as well as good food, so it
should be a fun trip.
I really enjoy the college visits, except I always come away
feeling like I’ve wasted so much of my life doing very little. When I see all
of the options available to college students, all the chances they have to do
things, and then I look at my life, I feel a little incomplete. I’d love to go
back and take advantage of all the things I was too young to realize the
benefits of back when I was actually in school. But then I look at the two
humans I’ve made, and they’re pretty great, and somehow, creating them is going
to have to be enough.
And hey, when I get stuck, there’s always the quote to
remind me to keep on going.
