college. reprise.
(I wanted, originally, to go to UC Davis. I was rejected, along with almost every other college I applied to. The only one i had gone out of my way to apply to that had accepted me was a very small liberal arts college in the-middle-of-nowhere Massachusetts. A few UCs decided to throw me a bone and i had the selection of Merced, Santa Cruz, and Riverside. My pursuit of theater led me to Riverside, closest to LA, and San Diego - and with a reportedly good theater department.
The reports were lies. The theater department at UC Riverside is horrible. They cut down the good shows they do to take out the intermission and do shitty shows to begin with. There is a decent student-written company, the Golden Means players, whose work is free to see and usually of better caliber than the university's.)
I hate it here.
Wherever you are, don't settle for someplace you don't want to be. It's four years of your life that you can't have back. And my life, personally and emotionally, has really only gotten worse since i made the decision.
I want to leave but now that i've been here i feel like i would be deserting the people i've met and made a real connection with. One of the only positive things about this place.
I feel so trapped. But i know it's self-imposed. I'm just weak.
