In October, 2018 I attended Homecoming Weekend at State University. I graduated in the Class of 2013 and we had a blowout Fifth Reunion at Homecoming. My husband had graduated State the year before me, and although he wanted to come with me he couldn't get away. I jokingly promised to behave, as if I ever didn't! Many of our friends would also be attending; I knew I wouldn't be lonely without Daniel, and he knew I'd be with people we can trust.
Friday evening was the Dean's Reception, and Saturday afternoon was the football game against our downstate rivals. Saturday night was party after party, and my classmates and I had a wonderful time. We couldn't get over the fact that the pot we used to buy secretly and hide was now legal, and the current students were all getting high openly all around us. We joined them -- blaze up!
I love dancing and all my guy friends made a point to dance with me as well as with their wives. But soon I was in a crowd of current students, and found myself dancing with strangers. I was wearing Class regalia so all the students knew I was five years out of school. I was the target of many "old lady" and "MILF" jokes and enjoyed all the attention. I was NOT the best dancer, but we all had a lot of fun.
