LIfe at PSU
Okay so my brother's most recent post has got me thinking. I'm working really hard to get a base group of friends up here. I go out with my roommates usually, but half the time they neglect to tell me that they're going anywhere so I turn around from my computer or TV to realize they've been gone for 30 minutes and the only people on my floor anymore are me and the RA. I wander around on the weekends, sometimes for hours at a time, looking for crap to do, and people to do it with.
You may be thinking "But Zack, there are 40,000 people on campus, you have to be able to find someone to hangout with!" Yeah, but when 38,000 of them are drunk and retarded and I don't drink it leaves me in a predicament. I don't have fun going out and drinking and just standing around the keg acting stupid, sorry but that doesn't spell out fun for me. I want people that I can hangout with without needing to be drinking to have fun. I don't care what we're doing, because doing absolutely nothing with a group of good friends is better than doing anything by yourself.
Maybe I'm not that great at making friends, I don't know. But it is just really sucking right now. Also, my floor is completely anti-social. I had my door open for the first 2 weeks of school and nobody, not one person, EVER walked in. I mean really. I tried to walk around and meet people but they all looked at me like I was a retarded monkey. Now, as far as I know, and from personal experience from visiting him, in my brother's first year of college, you could walk around his floor and only see 2 or 3 closed doors, and that was only because they were at class and so they naturally closed their doors. I wanted that, I was looking forward to that...instead I get a room with 3 other guys, who, when drunk, are freaking annoying as hell. Adding that to my closed off floor and not being in a co-ed dorm...this sucks ass. On a side note, I've noticed that I am usually better at becoming friends with girls first, and then branching out from there. So with my inability to just walk up or down a floor and hangout with girls, my social life is floundering. I don't know what I'm going to be doing about it, but I'm working on it as much as I can, I just needed to vent.
