Seriously, I do not have any idea what the fuck is wrong with my peers. They act is if alcohol makes the world go around. How sheltered were most of these people? I'm sorry, but when I hear stories about people barfing in toilets, getting date raped, or just plain passing out in a drunken stupor, I can only feel so much sympathy for these individuals. They brought it upon themselves, but no one ever really wants to think about the consequences of anything they do until the shit hits the fan and they have no one to hold responsible but themselves.
Perhaps it wouldn't bother me so much if my peers would drink more responsibly, but that ain't happening. The day of the homecoming football, there was a string of them walking around drunk sloshing alcohol everywhere. They looked so fucking pathetic, I was almost at a loss for words...almost.
: Sigh :
You know what's odd? The most excessively used phrase around college is "How are you?" I really do hate this question, but I usually say it to people anyway because I can't think of anything else to say. I don't even know why we ask each other really. It's not as if you really want to hear about that person's problems in addition to your own though personally I think I would enjoy hearing about other people's issues. It would let me know that I'm not the only frustrated and unhappy person out there.
There is so much I want to do in my life. Just the thought of me never achieving my dream is terrifying. I have to believe I have a purpose; if I did not, I would have lost all faith and hope long ago. Those are the only two things that really keep me going - hope, faith, and the love shown by all those close to my heart. My friends and my family. If I did not have that, I would cease to be, and despite my melancholy disposition, I just thought you all would like to know that I am grateful. Very grateful indeed.
