Warning: If you're looking for angst...look elsewhere.
It occurred to me today that things are pretty good for me right now. I have just about everything i want/need. This year is not as stressful or busy as past years have been, actually it's pretty laid back so far. I have time to do fun things like play sports. I spend time with friends. I watch tv. I'm healthy (eat, sleep, exercise). I'm making a fair amount of money just be going to school. I have a bright and stable future even if the details are not certain. Nothing to really complain about.
The only thing that i could complain about is not having a girlfriend, but even that's not that bad. I spend enough time with friends that i don't feel lonely. Also this is something i want but definitely don't need right now. My academics have been strong throughout my college years, i doubt they would have been so good if i had a girlfriend to destroy my study habits and take up my time. Also i definitely would not have gotten as involved on campus as i did. Don't take this to mean that i think girls are bad or that it's their fault, i just know myself well enough to know how i'd manage my time and what it would do to me. Lastly, any relationship would pretty much be predetermined to end in less than a year when i graduate.
Another advantage of being single and not actively seeking a relationship, is that life is simple. If you know me, you know how much i hate it when life is complicated. i don't have to worry about that. I can just coast until i graduate and enjoy how things are.
On top of all this, when i do graduate, there's plenty more to look forward to. Although the finding a girlfriend thing will need to be looked at and will definitely kill some of the simplicity.
On a side note, i just found out that i'm going to get a cousin. One of my aunt's is apparently pregnant. I don't have any real cousins, just some distantly related ones. Strange to think i'll get my first cousin at the age of 23. Also, this is the first time i've known someone that's pregnant, which feels a bit odd too. Though with many of my friends getting married i guess i'll soon be used to it.
That's all for now. Just thought i'd post my realizations.
