It's after midnight, and it's my birthday. Turning 23 on the 23rd of August has been something I've looked forward to my whole life. I shared this with a co-worker last week who told me that that's called your "Golden Birthday." *Has anyone else ever heard of this?* _Am I the only odd-ball who finds reason to celebrate in this numerical symmetry?_ *It's been five years since I turned 18 and started my freshmen year of college. Five years!* So I'm supposed to be older and wiser, right? But even after countless lectures and all-nighters, graduation, some European backpacking, and a quintessential cross-country roadtrip, am I wiser? Have I changed? It's impossible to pinpoint exactly when you change, or if you changed, since it's such a slow process, an evolution really. Have I evolved? Well, is there anything in my closet that I wore five years ago? Let me go look......

Nope, not a single thing. Although I do have a pair of "skinny jeans" I inherited from a friend sophomore year _(that I still can't squeeze into)_ and a gray little boy's soccer GAP t-shirt that I wore all the time Junior year. So I guess I'm wiser in some ways. Wiser in fashion sense. And I suppose wiser in life as well. You can't really gain five years of life experience and not learn something.

*As for older....do I instantly feel older? Of course not. But time _has_ passed.* I look back at college now, and remember it the same way that I looked back at high school when I was in college. I can still remember a lot of specific days in college, what I did, what I wore, what I ate. But high school is very much just a faint memory. I guess that's what I have myspace for, to reminisce about the good old days. I just hope this next year brings me some good _new_ days too. delicious | digg | technorati

Okay, so like all good Generation Nexters, I was watching the new *Real World Key West* and heard I song I liked that went something like..."_I'm in love with your potential, I'm in love with what you can't be baby._ " And like all good music-forward twenty-somethings...I tried to google the lyrics. No luck. What I did find though, was a ton of websites with people asking, *"Does anyone know who this song is by?"* Well I'm a journalist dang it. So I put my mad skills to work and figured it out. *Citrus* "Potential" Oh Well EP "Hear the song"://www.cdbaby.com/cd/citrus3 "!http://www.universitychic.com/files/citrus.jpg!"://www.cdbaby.com/cd/citrus3 delicious | digg | technorati
