This weekend I made my triumphant return to Ramapo College. I hadn't been back since the day I graduated. It was one of my good friend's 21st birthday so I decided to make the trip. My car has still been giving me a lot of problems so I took the train. The train ride from Camden to Mahwah is about 3.5 hours. It is only a two hour car ride but the extra time on the train gave me an opportunity to do some reading and work on my application essay for law school which is due at the beginning of March.

It also gave me an opportunity to see some cool things and take some pictures that I am pretty pumped about. I got to see Philly, Trenton, and New York all in one day. Trenton is the only city that I actually passed through. The others I merely gazed at from a distance.

Being back at Ramapo was an experience in itself. Everything was exactly the same except I wish I could knock on a familiar door and see a familiar face. But times change and you have to move on. I did get to see most of my friends that are still in school along with some fellow alumni that came up for the night. We attended a party and towards the end I went into the bathroom and when I came out everyone was gone and there was a security guard standing in the kitchen. So I promptly grabbed my jacket out of the kitchen cabinet said 'have a nice night' to the security guard and made my exit.

The more things change the more they stay the same. I had a blast reliving college for one night, but to be honest one night is all an old man can take.
