-This will be my last bullet point style blurb. I'm considering switching over to a more quote reflection style thingy. On to the quote.
"Erik, this isn't high school" -Matt Bienvenue
That's true, Matt. College isn't high school. What an astute observation. Allow me to repeat that one more time. College isn't high school. New enviroment, new people, new ideas. College isn't high school. There's a reason that quote struck me: it resonated with a ghost of a thought which has been haunting me for the past few days, materializing it. If college isn't like high school, why does it feel the same? I mean, I have basically all the same problems up here that I had back home and less freedom to boot. I feel my current state of being is no different than it was over the summer. And, truthfully, I had no problem with that state of being over the summer. I was content with lying in my bed playing guitar, hanging out with friends, and occasionally going to the Buddha to grab a beer, since I could always tell myself that college wouldn't be different (in case you're wondering, I'm talking about my zero prospects in terms of girls: all of the girls I know view me as a friend of the platonic sort, which is pretty much how it was back home). Now, of course, I'm wondering if any sort of change in fortune will come. Which is more than kinda scary, now that I think about it.
