Back To College For Everyone

Embracing the thrill no matter what your age

This time of year I skate a fine line between excitement and jealousy. Well, jealousy is a bit strong, but certainly, envy creeps into my almost 20-years post freshman year of college heart. Go to any Target or Wal-Mart type of store and you will most definitely see one of two things. Typically, it’s mother/daughter combo picking out a bed-in-a-bag for the soon to be dorm dwelling freshman or a combo of incredibly enthusiastic young girls eager to outfit their new home away from home. I’ve seen a smattering of dads or moms with their sons, of groups of guys doing the same, but with a muted zeal, they are much harder to spot.

Witnessing this yearly ritual reminds me to take a beat and recall what it felt like to be that pumped on life. It’s such a fantastic experience, this leaving the nest and creating a new one as a young adult. The closest I can get to it now, aside from living vicariously while out shopping, is by dreaming up my own new view. It could be something as simple as painting a room or changing out a few pillows, but even small changes can be rejuvenating. Whether you are a wide-eyed college bound freshman or an adult who’s been around the block a few, creating and sharing a dream domicile wish list can be done anytime, even from a smart phone with Gift Hero.
