Last night after work I made the long strenuous journey to Austin to see my super classy friend, Brittany. Yes, I know it's only 3ish hours away, but anywhere over 30 minutes feels like a road trip to me. And I have no idea when this mentally happened to me, because on the way here, I was reminded of all the late-night, spur of the moment trips I would take to College Station that summer at 10pm on a random Tuesday night.
My boyfriend and best friends were there all summer without me, and after I'd hang up with one of them, I'd tell my mom I was going to spend the night at Amanda's and instead I'd drive the 2.5 hours to College Station just so I could surprise them and be with the people that I loved (sorry if you're reading this, Mom) And back then, the drive seemed like nothin. I didn't mind it at all. I would play the same "Carla's Crunk CD" all the way to Waco, and then jam out to Waco 100 until it was out of range, and I could tell you all the cop hiding spots on Highway 6. Me and my cute little Celica were best friends!
Anyway, this blog post was supposed to be about my Texas A&M memories and the super fun time I had there. Because that's ALL I could think about last night in the car. Everything reminded me of something from back then. And then I was able to pull up Miss New Booty on my iPod. Oh my gosh, I almost cried! You girls my age might understand, but this was our anthem song for an entire year. This is how we got the party started, this is the song we got ready to, this is the song I learned to dance to (or tried), this is the song we jammed out in the car to, etc.
What a fun group of friends we had. And it's been years now, and we've all grown up, but it's still fun to think about. That was the time of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The innocence we all possessed and didn't even know it. I feel like I have grown up so much since then, and it was only like 4 years ago. I am such a different person than I was at age 20. Your early 20's can reshape you, redefine you even, and it happens so fast! So enjoy it! And make the most of it!
I'll quit with my wannabe philosophical post now. And I'll leave you with
I found you, Miss New Booty
