I had the honour of attending the wedding of one of my friends from the college. My friend, the bride, was of course lovely in her wedding dress. It was also nice seeing a few people from my classes as well. I'm sure we'll have a blast taking over the campus paper come September.

Looking around during the dinner reception, the magnitude of the commitment that Melanie has made really dawned on me when I saw all the other couples together at their tables. Then I realized another thing .... while we're still technically "students" and perhaps finding our way in the world .... at the same time, we're also already full fledged contributing members of society ... getting ready to live the 9 - 5 kinda life that defines who we are.

Here is one friend getting married, another having a baby, and more moving out on their own or with their companions facing life on their own.

It's like realizing that the last ounce of innocence and security and perhaps, naivity, you can hang on to as student begins to dissipate and returns to that cycle waiting for the next soon-to-be college student to take, so that in a few years, he or she can realize the same thing I have. LoL. :)

And then I thought ... what will my 9 - 5 kinda life be like in a few years? Melanie's will definitely involve her husband. Rosalind will have her child. What will yours involve? Think about it and let me know! :)
