Musings on School Days

Back where it all started. Ten years ago I had just completed my first year at Columbia University’s School of the Arts. 

When I think of all that has happened in that time it may as well have been another life. Aches and pains have shifted both emotionally and quite literally. 

In fact, my hip’s given me a little trouble the past two days; something that once seemed unfeasible even after a day of walking 100 or so New York City blocks.

My take on the world has also changed. I hope for the better. 

I possessed a rare resilience when I called this campus home. These days there is still a determination to bounce back from setbacks but it’s more calculated in effort and approach. 

Things change.
