I want to be an undergrad again! :(

May 10, 2002 23:15

Ok, so I am currently visiting my family because it is my brother's graduation weekend. I attended his honors convocation today, and while I was waiting for the ceremony to begin, I was suddenly overcome with a longing to be an undergrad again (my brother is graduating from the same university that I attended). I miss my old school. It was a ( Read more... )

I definitely know what you mean about nostaglic leanings, especially when I go back to Swellesley and walk around and stuff.
But just think--if you were back at undergrad again--you'd then have hanging over your head the spetre of grad school and work again--and now we're done with it mostly, so at least you have that to think on. . .

Not thinking about work and grad school... being an undergrad wasn't so bad. Late night studying and working on code til the late night hours... wait a minute... I do that now! Huh, guess it's almost like I'm still an undergrad. :)

> *sigh* Oh to be young again... ;)

You may as well give it up. Why, you're almost as old as I was at that age, and as you so clearly pointed out, I was old.

It's just pathetic how old people cling to their youth.

Yeah, that's right... you must feel ancient! Seeing as you are sooo much older than I am. Heh. ;)

Come on, don't you miss being an undergrad? :)

Lately I've been going back to Wellesley more frequently than I ever have since graduation, and the last few times have been especially hard... I walk around and SO wish I still had my own little room to go back to and friends to hang out with at a moment's notice. In the library I try to recreate that feeling of only having a few minutes between classes/meetings/activities but desperately needing to check my email or talk to someone online... Somehow it's just not the same ( ... )

So things continue to race on. Time passes. It's really depressing how life can just continue all the while you are struggling with some real life issue. And people keep on living and going and processing. And you just want to yell how did I get here, and what the heck is going on? Who determined this situation, and I think it's crappy. I know you are supposed to have total say in what happens in your life, but lately I've been feeling more and more like things happen and less and less like I have control over them. My favorite people are the ones who tell me how much control I have over my life, and tell me how I should have big influence on other people's lives. Why would I want to influence anyone? I can't even handle my own life. Sometimes I just want to roll over and do what people tell me. I think I've lost that desire to fight. I just want to be left alone. Very alone. Lest I screw up someone else's life by mistake.
