Over the weekend we saw the movie and a year or two ago I read the book. I enjoyed them both. Not to say that I agreed with all her philosophies, but they were enjoyable to read and watch.
I think I most liked the traveling part.
I regret one thing about my college experience. Yep, just one thing. I wish that I had taken a summer or a semester to study abroad.
A little background. Decision making has never been a great skill of mine. So I had a hard time committing to a major, in my last two years I thought about changing my major several times. I also even added a major my junior year.
So rather than get behind a semester, I chose to stay in Kansas. Its kind of interesting looking back on it now, wondering how my life would have been different if I had chosen to go abroad.
But mostly, I just think about the experience it would have been.
Let me reiterate, I loved college, I loved being at k-state and I loved all of it. (Don't worry, Mom.) Its just something I kind of missed out on.
Interestingly, I don't think I would go to the same place now that I would have then. Rather than studying at a cafe in the lights of the Champs-Elysees;
I would be studying at a cafe enjoying the ancient crowded streets somewhere in Italy (this picture happens to come from Naples).
But someday, I have big plans. Someday I will enjoy these places with my hubs instead of by myself. Which will make it all the more enjoyable.
I will just leave you with this thought, because I am hungry and I just watched that movie.
Pizza in Naples.
Seriously.
Are you hungry now?
