It always amazes me to hear about people Marrying their High School Sweetheart. What doesn't amaze me at all is hearing about them outgrowing the relationship when they both mature and realize there's a lot more out there in the big wide world.

If I'd have married my high school Sweetheart, I'd be stuck with a fat cow in a singlewide in unincorporated Lewis County raising 3 kids of dubious fatherhood by working $12/hr rotating shifts on some production line and stealing Catalytic Converters on the weekends. True story, and it damn near happened, but instead she found another guy's life to ruin from our class. She saw that poor bastard coming. He was a good guy too.

If college has just one single value it's putting you in the company of people with triple digit IQ's who can do grown up things like balancing checkbooks and acting somewhat responsibly.

Sorry I was rambling again.
