Some old thoughts are stirring in my mind these days. I started thinking on college days and how good I had things back then, but, of course, didn?t realize it. Here are a few things that I miss.
I miss the first year in the CCRH dorms. It was a big change from LayFayette, AL. I tell you that for nothing.
I miss when the dorms only had only 4 open floors (that first year of business) and knowing, at least the face, of everyone who lived there.
I miss working the CCRH front desk long before it went to hell and buried itself in regulations and piss poor tenants.
I miss the barefoot girl who sat outside the dorms to smoke and unwind.
I miss dangling a foot outside my third floor dorm window and watching the day go by.
I miss hanging out at the front desk (cause there was never other things to do) while Bil or Hoops were working. One night we used three-way calling to get roughly 100 people on the line at the same time. It crashed the phone network for the building. That may rank high on the dork-o-meter but damnit it was funny!
I miss Delta Chi. I never would have met brothers from other mothers MedicMike or Mareska if not for D-Chi.
I miss the lame ass frat parties (D-Chi excluded) I was invited to while working the desk.
I miss hanging with roommates DT and Charles. I still see them but not as much as before. Also, age has made them a little bit saner.
I miss playing Sega in room 213.
I miss hanging with Clyde, Gwen and Ali.
I miss rollerblading down Amsouth?s parking deck and not knowing how to brake.
I miss the old Toysrus-adjacent Velvet Underground. It was one of the few nightclubs I could get into.
I miss sparring at Berry’s Studio 4 nights out of the week. After a few months, I was actually kicking some ass.
I miss that classes and tests were the only real stresses in my life and that having beer money was the only concern.
I miss not knowing what I had.
