At the end of college, I had a perfect day. An election campaign on which I worked was incredibly successful and, when I walked back to my apartment after getting the results, I found my acceptance to law school waiting in the mailbox. It was a Friday, so at 4:45, I walked into my local bar to meet my friends, most of whom were graduating in a few short weeks. The world was limitless, the future was full of possibility, I was surrounded by people I cared about and there were no barriers to what we could do.
I would love to go back to that afternoon and re-live it. I wouldn’t change a thing…I just want to go back and feel that kind of joy and excitement. It was before the time of overwhelming student loan debt, job searches, workplace competition, and carpools.
Do you have a moment or a day that you’d like to re-live? Is it because you’d do something differently? Or because you just want the experience all over again? What made that moment so special to you?
