Day 8: Smart In A Stupid Way.

"A picture that makes you laugh."

OHHH the good ole days :)

I love this picture. It was taken during my first semester of college when I was ALWAYS partying. I'll be completely honest, I do not remember taking this picture at all. In fact, I have no idea where I am! I'm pretty sure I may already have been a little drunk when I showed up to this place. Actually, I'm positive I was. That is part of what makes me laugh about this picture. Also, the 7-11 Big Culp is just sooo perfect. After all, that was the Kappa Sigma way. No matter what was happening, I always had a drink in my hand. And if I somehow didn't, well, I took it from someone else.

I guess that the main reason this has become one of my favorite photographs is because of what it represents for me. Regardless of what I may have been going through at the time, I felt alive. It was a great time in my life that was full of fun. Not only did I learn how to actually smile that year, I also learned how to laugh at myself. Sure, I may have made some pretty poor decisions, but I don't regret them. That first semester of college was a blast!

And I love that shirt. It makes me happy.
