Yesterday, Chris invited me to a party that his fraternity was throwing. The only reason I took him up on it is because I heard the view from the roof of this event space was wonderful.
[On a side note, it was quite wonderful!]
Unfortunately, the majority of the focus was not on the view. Many people seemed to be channeling all their energy towards making it to the keg or the hot tub. I saw a lot of classlessness going on last night. As I stard out into the night sky, attempting to ignore everywhere, I felt the same feeling that I had when I stood from the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, and the Sears Tower. Everytime I feel that way, I feel as though I should be off conquering the world and learning all I can about cultures. A guy with a beer cup then knocked into me..breaking my train of thought. Suddenly, being at this party and trying to appease my boyfriend felt so pointless. I guess I keep hoping that the partying scene will make sense to me, but it never does.
The girls that I met were completely classless. Sometimes it feels like college has removed the "intelligentsia." I thought back to all the times that I've been beaten down and talked down to just because I don't drink, smoke, or party. I thought back to all the times that people teased me for my prudence. I guess I just don't get it and never will. It feels completely backwards. I'm just obviously...not getting it.
Either way, I started thinking about how I try to live by a classier path. It made me think about my profanity use which only dumbs me down.
Everything I write seems pointless.
