Through College-Colored Glasses

When your kids live at home, you may see glimpses of yourself as a child of their age. But I am discovering that it is college that really brings the memories flooding back...

Through college-colored glasses, it really is possible to change the world.

Through college-colored glasses, each home meal is a big deal--because it is familiar, and not on a tray, and, well, part of home.

Through college-colored glasses, the people of home fill a very particular place in your heart, even if you now see them only for moments at a time.

Through college-colored glasses, the days are built of class schedules and good times to take a shower and dining hall hours.

Through college-colored glasses, there are countless hours, and countless new ways to fill them--and times when they just feel countless.

Through college-colored glasses, independence is both a blessing and a curse.

Through college-colored glasses, sometimes the world looks rosy, but sometimes it looks gray.

Through college-colored glasses, the future suddenly seems close--and yet, very far away.

Through college-colored glasses, you are 18 going on forever.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all have just a little more time looking through college-colored glasses...?
