Hiatus

It’s probably been almost two months since I took my unintentional hiatus from blogging. There were definitely times where I wanted to just sit down and type, but I could never do it with other people around, which is a constant when living in a dorm. My mentality has definitely changed since being here for a while. In the beginning month or so, I was so… worried. The change was still so significant and I couldn’t help thinking about my life and home and all of my friends from home. But now, I think I’ve grown used to the fact that the change has already been made. I was more afraid of all of my friends changing, when it was only a mere change of circumstance. Everyone changes a little, but everyone is still the same.

One thing I was pumped about when going to college was the girls. And oh my, have I been disappointed. In the beginning, it was cool, I met a lot of new people, new girls. Now, everyone is just old news. Like have you ever had that feeling where you’re surrounded by girls (or guys) and you just see that no one has any potential for you? That’s how I feel now. Everyone is boring. And I hate to sound lie a snob or really picky, but I’m not in it for something superficial.

The life of a modern day college student requires one extremely important thing: netflix. Netflix is probably the best way to kill time ever. Last night, I found myself about half way through season 4 of How I Met Your Mother. As I may or may not have mentioned before, Ted is definitely my spirit animal. He is THE hopeless romantic. The only thing I don’t have much of an interest for is how desperate the show makes Ted out to be. Otherwise, he is me down to a T, except he has had way more dates and girlfriends than I have.

All in all, college has been cool. I’ve progressed as a goalkeeper exponentially since the start of preseason. My grades are pretty solid too. There’s just two things that remain unanswered: what am I going to do with my life and when am I going to meet ‘the one’? Maybe thats a subject for another day.

Pre College, Post High School.

      With a day a half before I move into my dorm, I just keep thinking about the big change that is coming and some of the change that has all ready set in. I will be moving in a few days earlier than every other freshman at my school because I am playing for the soccer team. And since I’m the only one of the three of my best friends playing sports in college, I’ll be the first one to leave. It’s such a hard concept to think about. While I was in high school, I always thought to myself, “I’ll be fine going to college and making new friends.” In reality, it’s pretty discomforting thinking about leaving all of the people I’ve known my entire life. What if we aren’t friends later in life? What if things change drastically? This transition is something everyone has to deal with at some point or another. 

      It sucks to think that all of my friends from high school will never be at the same place at one time again, unless we make that happen. Everyone is going to go and meet tons of new people. All of the experiences of high school just turn into memories. 

      When I think about the down sides of things, it can be hard to see the better parts. Although, I am pretty excited to be living the dorm life and to go and meet a bunch of new people. Its a big change, but one that must be made.
