Is UMass my nemesis!?

Feb 15, 2007 09:52

Okay, so at home over summer and winter break I could not ask for anything more. My friends from home are amazing, my parents are liberal party animals, I'm playing bass guitar, I have met a lot of good looking ladies, and I wake up each morning to phone calls asking what I want to do today.

At UMass, times are good, but it seems people are lazier here and spoiled by the whole dorm room epic where you only have to walk a flight of stairs or down the hall to see someone. I feel like I am being ignored some times and that I am being obsessive by calling people all the time to see what is going on. Not to mention, I don't really meet a lot of girls here. I don't know why I do well outside of UMass. It is as if I was just never meant to really fit in here. I constantly change the people I hang out with on a regular basis because shit always happens or I just get dreadfully bored, or people are too fake around me.

I wonder why people always say I'm funny and great to be around, yet no one ever seems to really care to reach me. Is it a lie? I'm confused... perhaps I am diving too far into the "no one really likes me" idea, but I can't help but think it when barely anyone ever cares what I'm doing for the night.

I am certainly not going to find another girlfriend at college. It would probably be best to find someone while I am working that is at the same stage in life. There is too much of a mix here or something. It is extremely hard for me right now to pinpoint it, but I think age difference, work load, and etc are a big factor. Who knows, but it is terribly frustrating. I lost everything I had here: my girlfriend of nearly three years became such a different person she ended the relationship because we never wanted to do anything together, my paintball club got shafted by the school's terrible activity maintenance, and I lost my life to so much school work it is driving me insane.

So, even after such a phenomenal weekend and new friendships, I have to say the previous three years sucked. This coming year looks bright as my good friend Gene has found some very nice people in Southwest... of all the places... I usually never liked the people I met there, but these people are different. I'm glad he doesn't mind me fusing into the crowd because I understand it gets annoying when one person constantly wants to hang out. I will still keep in touch with other friends, but as far as I am concerned if I don't get called or messaged at least once in awhile then why the fuck are we friends? I barely know this one girl Caitlin and she made me this ridiculously detailed valentine's card and stuff like that. I can't believe how meaningful stuff like that is, but kudos to anyone and everyone who does stuff like that.

Ah yes, and on a side note. My roommates Cait and Jere tried to say "No more parties" to me after this last one. I straight told them they fucked up by asking me to live there after repeatedly asking about big parties and Jere knowing I am a party animal. They submitted, but we can't have such a large number of people next time around. I even kind of agreed it was a bit much at one point. There must have been like 80 people here...

So enough back and forth complaining / praising / whatever. I'm done trying to reach out to people who don't contact me at least a little. I met a group of people who don't know me that well and do so.
