College is one of those odd experiences.  For 4 (or more) years, you are placed in a small area with any number of thousands of other students, expected to live, love, and learn, and then get thrown back out in the fray of real life.  And in the coursing and pulsing that occurs during this time away from real society, you start to connect things back to that former life.  It’s inevitable that you will find everyone who you found in that previous part of life again, just reborn under a different name, and a few different rules.  Just like my friend AllieM, who reminds me of a friend from high school named Kristen, except that Kristen was, and still is very religious, whereas Allie is quite a bit more liberal with her values.  Like one of my brothers, Leonard, is a cross of two good friends in high school, Tony and Reggie.  It’s just odd how much some people you meet here, and swear you have known them forever, really are like their previous counterparts, and how nice it feels to surround yourself with those people again.
