So today at lunch I was flipping through one of Candice’s old High School yearbooks. It has been a particularly stressful day at work and I was thinking just how nice High School was compared. I mean sure, there are some cons. I don’t have the money I have now or my own place. But I think the pros are certainly worth the time I have spent the rest of today thinking back on my high school years and wishing I could go back and do them over again with the knowledge I have now.
First thing I would do was to talk to girls more. And by talk I don’t mean I would ask what the homework assignment was. I would ask more girls out on dates. The ones I had the courage to ask seemed to respond well to it, so I should have tried the old Cahill charm on more of them!
Secondly I would have been a lot less stressed about school work. Turns out that I probably could have been just as successful at any college, and maybe I should have applied to more out of state school.
I think just overall I would be a ton more confident and willing to go out and get into a little trouble. Nothing too bad though. I guess what I really want is the return to the care free feeling that one had in HS. my parttime job at 1Potato2 didn’t turn worlds, how I spent my Saturday night didn’t amount to much of anything. I was free and no one really was effected by anything I did. I was a good time to be a kid. No facebook, no texting, no obligations to do adult things like weddings and baby showers, no friends going off to war, nothing terrible. Everyone hung out everyday, it ws great.
Now all my friends are bogged down with kids and houses and blah blah blah. I am sure I have posted all this before. Just when I have a bad day as a direct result of being grown up, I long for simpler times…
