but i have not graduated college...

i have celebrated 22 years of life. i have mastered a song perfectly on the piano. i have looked deep into my soul. i have questioned life. i have raised a child. i have been swimming with dolphins. i am a fashion and style connoisseur. i have auditioned for a broadway show. i have fallen out of a second story window and lived to tell about it. i have won a war. i have counted how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop (366). i have saved a life. i have had my life saved. i have been in the presence of true evil. i have been immersed in unconditional love. i have been swept away by an undertow. i have cheated death. i hate oprah. i have changed a tire by myself. i have learned to pray in 2 different languages. i have converted a democrat. i have been to hell. i have been to heaven. i have been electrocuted. i have visited the statue of liberty. i have climbed a mountain. i have lost a friend. i have discovered the meaning of life, but i forgot to write it down. i have learned to surf. i have read every book ever written about judy garland. i have had a perfect kiss. i have experienced the perfect sunday afternoon. i once made friends with a school of fish. i have won the respect of intelligent people. i have talked to an angel. i have been in over 30 theatrical productions. i have competed in figure skating and won. i have read vogue cover to cover (that actually happens monthly). i write reports on random topics for fun. i have memorized the calorie content of almost every food on the planet. i dont care about content. i once embarked on building a sand castle to the sky but had to stop to go in for dinner. i have loved until i thought i couldnt love anymore (and then found out that love is infinite). i have learned to cook a turkey. i have been at the top of society. and the bottom. children trust me.
...but i have not graduated college.
