I grew up in Bath! It’s such a beautiful city. Your post brought back memories of Moles and other dingy clubs there. I actually plan on visiting again soon to see how much it’s changed. And for Ben’s Cookies!

I don’t comment much by the way, but i read your blog every day. I hope things go well for you :)

Going to Uni was just like that for me as well -I was that specky, swotty teenager too. I can’t imagine going to a reunion though, the past is over and done with, apart from a very select few friends. The only reason I can imagine for wanting to meet old acquaintances would be to smug it up about how I live in Paris with a rich handsome Frog and our gorgeous kids, and to smile condescendingly when they say they haven’t left their home town. Not a good enough reason, you’ll agree, so best leave it alone, as far as I’m concerned.
Lucy-Jane- please please please I have to wait another week for HP (it’ll be a birthday present)don’t tell me what happens pleeeeeeeeeaaase!!!

I’ve waited 6 months for it, and it’s over nearly as soon as it’s begun.

I’m talking about H.P, naturally…
So, *have you read it, Petite, everyone?* whatcha reckon?

i as well love this sentiment. 10 years ago i was finishing up my year in romania, and though i’m very contented now, i actually enjoy holding the memory of that time as my happiest. it may not get any better from here on out, but i don’t mind living in the past from time to time ;)

I am too scared to go back to my old sharehouse in East London because it represented the best and the worst of times for me. I lived with my great love there and borke up there as well. I have since married and ‘moved on’ but have I?

Petite – this is a fantastic post! I’ll have my 10-year high school reunion next year and I’ve got mixed feelings about it.

my feeling is it’s always better to look forward than to the past. I have many happy memories of my university years, but I wouldn\t ever want to go back. Life ahead has too much to offer…

I haven’t finished with enough of my life to look back at my university years and think that they were my happiest. I, like you years before, am about to embarke on journey to France. I hope that when I’ll be there I’ll be reinventing myself and becoming a better person. Someone I like more. If I ever do leave France years in the future, I’m hoping that I can look back at my time as there as my happiest.

Your post captures perfectly my own memories of my university years, during which, at least to my own mind, I blossomed. I explored, taking random courses simply because they sounded interesting. I became a student-athlete and discovered, to my surprise, that I was good. To this day, I consider my years as a collegiate cyclist as one of the best things that ever happened to me – but it didn’t just happend to me, of course, I chose it for myself. Living away from home for the first time is all about choosing and exploring and growing, isn’t it?

You’ve made me miss my old campus, all the harder to visit now that I am an ocean away. Perhaps you have even made me miss my old self a little bit.
