Boiler Up!

Last weekend Liv and I went to my alma mater, Purdue. We went to the Purdue - Michigan game, where we had great seats thanks to StubHub, beautiful weather, a chance to hang out with my parents, and a Boilermaker victory. It was the first time Liv had been to Purdue, so I had a chance to take her around campus.

I've only been back to Purdue one other time since graduation - which is funny, since I got a master's degree from Purdue in the meantime through distance learning. Two years ago I remember walking around campus, and it was kind of strange - it had been years since I had been on campus, but I still could picture myself as a college student. This time, walking around campus, there was no picturing myself as a college student. It was great to remember the past, but it clearly was my past.

This helped me to realize just how much my life has changed in the past two years (all for the better!), and how much I've changed because of it. While my years at Purdue helped to make me the person I am today, I am not the same person that I was when I was at Purdue. And that is a very good thing.
