Today is the day when the University students are back at school. At my University, this was an O-Week Day. Actual classes don't start until Thursday. That's right, 2 whole days of Frosh action!

Anyways, this day has got me to thinking about how much I miss University and how much I don't.
Things I miss about university:
- My job: I worked at the campus convenience store. It was an amazing job and I worked with some great people. I made some life long friendships there.
- Freedom: Having the weird schedule gave you free time in the middle of the day. I liked the inconsistency. I could work out in the middle of the day, watch tv in the middle of the day, go to the grocery store....it was great.
- Free Coffee: From above job. FREE. COFFEE. It was great.
- Having something that was my own: I felt like Brock and St. Catharines were my own. I was proud of the fact that I had something separate from the rest of my family. Something else defined me besides just being a part of the family I'm from in our small town.
- Having so much time to study: This isn't so much the case when I'm working full time and taking courses
- The gym being so convenient: I could go to the gym between classes. I loved that.

Things I don't miss:
-
- The inconsistency: Yes part of me like it. But there's something to be said for having to get up and get going at the same time every day.
- Always having to be studying: You never ever feel ok about not studying. There is always more that can be done. I missed reading my own books while I was at school.
- Being 2 hours away from home: Especially when I started dating Ryan. Going home on weekends also decreased my productivity.
The one thing I regret....graduating so early. Ryan Gosling was at convocation this year. (His mom was graduating). Why do I have to be so smart?
