There are days I miss college. But then I start to realize that I've continued on to Graduate school without realizing it.
To replace the fellow students and professors, I now have my little girl spurning me on to know MORE and be BETTER. And my husband to be that fellow student, sharpening me and making me think.
To replace the 80 pound textbooks, I have just-as-thick cookbooks and notebooks filled with recipes. And how-to-be-a-better-parent books, highlighted to their brims.
I still have the lack of sleep and late nights "studying" (a.k.a. meal planning, and worrying).
And now, there is more life under my belt. And my life feels deeper. More meaningful. And more relaxed. Knowing that we're all figuring it out as we go - especially we parents - makes me calm down and not worry so much about getting it all perfect. We'll be ok. In this new University.
