I really do feel like everything happens for a reason. Last week I was back at my college for a presentation. Although I graduated 5 years ago, the feeling I got on this campus the first day I stepped out of my mothers car, never seems to go away. Its a feeling I receive each and every time I return to campus.
During this trip I was trying to cram multiple visits to old co-workers, professors and friends within my short time frame. As I was crossing over through the lounge on my way to my presentation (yes unfortunately I was running a few minutes behind) I did a double take as an old classmate walked in the door. He was someone who had been in love with a roommate of mine for years and tended to end up at the same parties me many times in the past. It had been years since I had seen him but this time something was different. I am not sure if it was the nerves for my upcoming presentation, or the fact I was caught off guard seeing him, but something came over me that left me on a natural high the rest of the weekend.
He had always been such a bubbly personality and quite the catch for any single lady, but was never in a relationship. I learned quickly in the two minute conversation we had, that he recently started working back at the college as a coach. I immediately emailed my roommates to let them know of my chance encounter. I had always hoped he would marry one of my girlfriends, and as they each slowly get married, I am slowly turning the page on that dream, however, something inside of me hopes that I run into him again in the near future.
