Yes :-) College allowed me the opportunity to make my own decisions about my life and I started to come into my own. In highschool I was never happy with myself because I never felt comfortable in my own skin, so by changing myself on the outside (started dying my hair red, got my tattoo, etc.), I started to evolve into who I am today. It wasn't so much a process of discovery, but more shedding the past, shedding my skin and the real me, the me that had been suffocated deep down inside for so long, was able to finally come out. My transformation isn't complete yet -- I would be sad to think that it was -- but, at the same time, I don't think it will ever be "finished." Experiences and time simply add to who I am, giving me more dimensions and layers, but on the whole, yes, I am who I think I am :-)
