My sister graduated high school in 1974, and attended Northeast Louisiana University (now known as University of Louisiana - Monroe). Two good things came out of this for me.
First, I moved into her bedroom. It was much larger than mine, was painted sky blue, had a built-in desk, and its own bathroom. And don’t forget the shag carpet! You betcha I was stylin’.
Second, she let me come spend the weekend with her at college every now and then. In her dorm room! Now, I’m not sure how much she had to pay her roommate and suite mates to let her little 8-year-old sister invade for the weekend. But it was definitely worth it to me! Dorm life, cafeteria food, walks around campus… and a t-shirt from the book store.
Anytime we take the time to make memories with family, it’s worth it.
