Everything I know about college, I forgot.

The Tryping My Best Moment of the Week #35

I am continuing on with the subscription donation project. The organization for December/January is The Trevor Project. If you are new here (welcome!) or need a refresher, you can always find more details of the project on my About page. And if you want to be a matching donor, let me know.

This newsletter means a lot to me. If you are connecting with the work at all, please consider clicking the heart button and/or leaving a comment. I feel like somewhere it says these paid only posts are only for paying peeps but you know what? I say share FAR and WIDE if you so choose to. Actually, I would like that very much.

Holiday travel was, overall, very good. I spent part of the time with my best friend (Hi, Cassi!) in Bellingham, Washington, which is the town where we went to college. She and her hubz moved back there about a year ago so they are, once again, full-on residents of this town. The couple of times I have been there in the last year, I was expecting a lot more starry-eyed nostalgia than I ended up having. Experiencing your college town when you have nothing to prove and can just live your life is actually very nice. I found my biggest worry was truly just running into someone I didn’t want to see. But that didn’t happen, so there.

As we were walking the streets, I did realize that I’m pretty sure I don’t remember more about college than I do remember. And because it’s been a bit since I’ve done a list in this edition, here is a list of things or part of things I have forgotten about college:
