I became who I am now mostly during my college years. I learned the most, and I don’t mean academically, in my 7-year stint in college. I found myself, found some of my closest friends, back in college. I first fell in love, and first got my heart broken, back in college. If I wrote a book about my life, other than my stint in radio, my college years would probably eat up the most pages. Sigh. I look very fondly on my college years, but I wouldn’t want to relive them. I’m good.
