We didn't live in a dorm, though. We had just moved into our first home (and the one we're still in). I was a child bride. We got married in between my junior and senior year of high school. Shoot, I can't remember too much about college life. I graduated college the year you started, so I have a few years up on you. I guess my memory is going. lolCathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-15933007251071033492014-05-21T12:18:05.282-06:002014-05-21T12:18:05.282-06:00OMG I certainly look forward to reliving YOUR esca...OMG I certainly look forward to reliving YOUR escapades, but my own?!?

Imagine going from being an only child in a rural part of town (read: QUIET!), thrown into a tiny room with TWO roommates in a dorm full of other young women. We had one huge communal bathroom with 8 toilet stalls, 6 shower stalls and about 12 sinks. It was basically survival of the fittest. I am tempted to join you on this journey this summer b/c I have a lot of great stories from that time in my life, which I also call, 'Underage Drinking 101'.

But fun nonetheless.<br /><br />I went to a tech school, and was completely out of place (too jockish to be a nerd, too nerdish to be a jock) and Brandon went to CU to become a psychologist. We see how that worked out. :)<br /><br />I never shared a room with anyone, because I would probably murder someone the second they ate my food.

I remember how scary it is--but still today, I don't like venturing out into the unknown.
