Is everyone serious? Is marriage the new "in" thing? I know of for couples getting married this summer. I'm planning on going to three of them (two of them are on the same day). That's eight people I know getting married. All of them less that 24 years of age. At work there's someone getting married on saturday. She's 24. There's also a girl who is pregnant and getting married in a few months. She's 22. And there's another person at work who is already married. And he's 21. What the hell? Am I missing something? Did I not get the memo that it's ultra cool to get married before you're done with college? Is this a Cal Poly thing or is every college like this? I think it's stupid to get married before 28 at the earliest because there's just so much out there to learn and see and experience that you can't really get if your married. I try and tell people this as I get told I'm "a selfish person". I guess I am. Many people I know, mostly girls, are infatuated with the idea of marriage and wouldn't mind being married themselves. Brittany Spears must be their role models. I don't understand it, not at all. I'm going to having kick ass time in the Sequoia's this summer and 8 people I'm good friends with will be deciding which side of the bed they're going to sleep on for the rest of their lives... or at least until they get divorced. Hard to fathom.
