Exactly. That is how I feel. Yes, there was drama and dealing with negative people back during my college days, but hey, that happens at anytime. It even happens at work. In fact, I think it happens more at work than at school to be honest. But other than that, it is all good memories that cause me to experience profound nostalgia to the point of feeling emotional. I think it is a little too extreme at times and I feel stupid for feeling like that but it happens.
