A return to Auburn...
So I spent the weekend in Auburn hanging out at good ol' Frat 211 with everyone, and it was great, something I very much needed since I basically don't do anything here.
But, it wasn't the same.
I loved everything about this weekend, but for some reason, lingering in my thoughts I didn't feel like I belonged there. It's the first time I felt I'd outgrown the college experience and it really bothers me.
I hate to think that at 22, I've outgrown or grown tired of the fun time of college. I was never a big party guy or big drinker, but I did enjoy going out and having some drinks. I didn't feel like I was I above that, I just felt like I was out of place. I felt like a 30 year old, and I have no idea why. Just because I have a ton more responsibilities and a career now does not mean I should not still be able to fully enjoy the things I enjoyed for 4 years in Auburn, but for some reason I just felt completely out of place. I do not want to feel that way. And to add to feeling like a 30 year old this weekend wore me out like no other.
I want to stress again that I love my friends, I loved hanging out with everyone and had an awesome time down there this weekend. But for some odd reason I can't even explain, I simply felt out of place. As good as some people may think that is, a sign of growing and maturing, adjusting into a career and a new life, I simply do not want to be that mature yet. I'm 22, I'm only 22, and a 22 year old should not feel this way less than 1 year out of college, or should I?
