Best Years of Your Life

Now, I kind of wish I had it to do over again. Instead of this being my final year in college, I wish it were my first. I\u27d like to be going through Freshman Week: taking tests, dancing at the Freshman Mixer and attending that first college class. I wish I were looking forward to four good years on this campus, instead of recalling three rather mediocre ones. I wish I were a freshman again... I would like to change now some of the things I have done in my years of college

To a Bride

In romantic fiction and in the movies, the happy ending usually closes on an embrace, with the implication that the couple will marry-and-live-happily-ever-after. In reality, marriage is a beginning instead of an ending. It is of course the end of one phase of life- the growing-up phase- but in terms of a lifetime its importance is greatest as the beginning of a new, mature kind of life. In courtship, loving was the important relationship; in marriage the emphasis shifts to living with the other person. The relationship of two persons in marriage is a new one, and not just an extension of the old one of courtship
