Hey guys, I'm in the library right now, I had to skip my 9:30 class (shh, don't tell anyone) but i had to because I have to finish a poem about "The Problem with Describing Color" and then I have to get in some studying for my PR test at 1. Wish me luck!
So last night, Bartow and I went to the Ravine for a beer and food pairing. We went with our friends Jon and Kristi, and Abigail and John.It was great! They usually do wine pairings with food, but since it's October (Oktoberfest) they thought it would be fun to change it up this month, and it was so worth it! First, the Ravine is, well, I'll use the owners words:
"Many a glass of wine ago, native Southerners Cori and Joel first conceived the idea for their own restaurant -- one with attentive service, exciting food, and an inviting atmosphere. As their dream grew, so did their plans. They drew sketches of an out-of-the-way place with a big porch where people could enjoy eating outside, a place big enough for a downstairs restaurant and a second story home. They envisioned serving food grown from their own garden and creating a menu renewed through seasonal ingredients. They even decided what they would call the place: ravine, a name reflective of seasonal change."
Last night they had 6 beers with 6 entrees (tiny portions but soooooo good and very gourmet). If yall hear of anything like this where yall are, please try and check it out! Not only will it be interesting and something new to do, but you'll feel like a vip because they usually allow only so many people to join, so it's like a little private party for you and your friends! Anyway that was really fun.
So, during this dinner, of course the girls had to go use the ladies room all at once, eventhough it was a 1-stall room, we went in anyway. And we all got to talking about how old we all feel around campus, seeing as we are all 5th year seniors surrounded by freshman and sophomores etc...
In college, you find your core group of friends, and if you don't/didn't then...well I'm sorry because you obviously did something wrong ;) Just kidding. But Kristi, Abigail and I were talking about how much we are going to miss each other when we all graduate and move away, and it got me thinking that I am an adult now..and it is scary. For all you 'adults' out there who know someone like me about to enter the real world, guide them. Give advice, let me/them know that it is not going to be easy, but that's what life is all about. If you live your life just waiting for the next step, then you aren't living your life. And what is it with this "real world" phrase? Am I in fantasy land right now? I have grown up sooo much in these past few years; I mean, if you knew me 5 years ago, 4 years ago, 3, 2, I was different, not bad, not good, just always learning new things. I consider this as my "real world". College makes you, it breaks you, it kills you and it brings you back to life.
Don't mean to make this into a motivational speech or anything, but just know that people like me, right now, we are adults too, new but still adults. Remember how yall felt when yall were my age?
Have a great Thursday! I'll post a copy of my poem when I'm done with it and yall tell me what you think!
xxoo
