    Not necessarily true. Some of them are my cousins and their fiances/wives/etc. and these people are Doctors, CPAs, Engineers, and so on and so forth who from what I can tell are living great lives. It's weird hearing it from them. The rest are Professors and Administrative peole here. I'll send you a pm sometime tonight!
I know and interact with a lot of doctors, professionals etc and they're like any other group, some live full lives and others don't. A lot of people over romanticize college life because of the free time they had, the amount of options in front of them etc but they completely and conveniently forget what a ball of nerves they were.

You're a smart and capable person so I don't mean to insult you when I say that most men or women at your stage in life aren't as well adjusted as they will be later in life. You just aren't. I certainly wasn't. I was soooo insecure.

Was college fun? Hell yeah, it was. Was it also emotionally trying? -Y-E-S. I recall standing on a cliff at Glacier National Park and thinking, "I can make this all stop and people might think it was an accident."

I'm so glad I didn't.

It gets better. If you will it, it is no dream. -dude.

I'll be on the lookout for that PM
