A Visit to Uni

2022-03-30

I graduated from university in 2015. Yesterday I decided to take my laptop and work a day at my alma mater.

Over lunch I toured the campus, which has grown quite a bit even since my time there. Class is in session, so all the buildings were open. I hadn't stepped foot in many of them in seven years.

The experience was very odd. Several memories came back to me, some of which I hadn't thought about since the start of my undergraduate education over a decade ago. A lot of them were very pleasant memories. But as the day progressed, more and more memories came back, and an increasing number of them were memories I realized I hadn't thought about for a reason.

I tend to romanticize the past. Of course, there are ways in which the past--including my own past--is better than things now, but there are several other ways in which it was considerably worse. Sometimes I need a reminder of that in order to appreciate where I am now.
