Well, as of an hour ago I am feeling quite nostalgic. I just got back from Rec Night for BYU Folk dance and gosh it just makes me miss college! (Rec night is every other Wednesday night in the RB where every dance team on folk dance, as well as alumni, come together and just dance! It is so much fun, and such a good workout I might add!) Luckily for Jordan I didn't come back bawling afterwards like I did a couple weeks ago (I was for some reason already emotional that day, a shocker for those who know me well, and rec night was just the icing on the cake). For me, it is sometimes hard to go to Rec night because I am reminded of what I am missing out on. It makes me think that I didn't fully complete my goal in dance, that I could be having more fun in my life right now, etc... On the other hand I love going because I get to see all my friends and dance! It is so conflicting. I get pulled into feeling like work is so repetitive and that I miss school, but then I have to make myself realize that I don't really miss school, I miss dancing and the social aspect that comes with it.
Let's face it, I LOVE coming home from work and being able to do whatever I want instead of being tied down by homework and papers. It is so liberating. I get to read books, try out new recipes, watch Downton Abbey, go to Zumba, etc... Sometimes it just takes a little while for me to remember all of the perks of being a graduate. Maybe that's why I feel this blog is so therapeutic for me. Writing it all out helps me to remember the good things in my life and not dwell on what I don't necessarily have at the moment or experiences that I feel I am missing out on. I get to talk about growing up because that is what this is... growing up. Growing up is just realizing that life happens and the important things aren't always going to be the "fun" ones. Why didn't the world ever warn me that growing up would be so hard sometimes?? I've got a ways to go, but at least I'm getting there.
So in honor of growing up (or at least attempting to) and going to Rec night tonight here are some of my favorite pictures taken while I was in folk dance.
