Just gonna set something straight...
I wish I were still as happy as these folks!
Sorry to dump rain on your Ice Cream Sundae Parade, but seriously, nothing's happening for me. A good idea for your first (technically my second) summer of college is to STAY AS FAR FROM YOUR PARENTS HOME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, not like a spoiled millennial brat who refuses to use her agency and call her friends. I am saying that it is hard to do much. Especially if you are normal. Like me.
This is what your second summer will look like if you choose to stay near your college:
- All your friends go back home, in which, home is located more than 200 miles away and takes hours to get to. So meetups like you did in the dorms are not quite all that possible.
- All your high school friends are either completely unreachable because they have either:
(a.) got new phone numbers and "forgot" to add your number
(b.) deleted/blocked you on all social media platforms without your knowledge
(c.) became completely boring
(d.) ?
In which case, all of these answers lead to a simple conclusion: they were never your friends in the first place. But of course I am generalizing the experiences of all and many. Besides, isn't 2016 is the year of burning bridges? I mean, just look at these wonderful just observe the recent actions of our faves, here and here. You cannot tell me that it isn't when you see all of that.
But I digress. The summer should always be a time for individual growth. This is the most pertinent time when you can choose to have all the time in world and do pretty much everything you wanted to do during the school year but couldn't for some odd reason.
My impeding factor was the dorms. Oh the college dorm life.
*shivers*
It was...An Experience... Don't get me wrong, it's an experience I believe that everyone who is granted the opportunity should take. It's life changing and eye-opening, and honestly one of the best residential experiences I have had in my life thus far. The only con I would say there is to it is that it feels very much like HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN. But like, High School x 2 1/2. (Take that however you want to. Some loved high school. Some hated it.)
At least this were true with the situation that I was in.
I had a different experience from a lot of people. I lived on a themed floor, which is exactly what it sounds like: a group of people lumped together because they all express a common interest in something.
That's all I will say about that for now. I may write more later on, but for now, I think that is all I need to say. I definitely recommend that you see the dorms for yourself if you are considering it, especially as a Freshman. Don't pass up that opportunity, especially when you are so young and have the world as your oyster.
But enough of this tangential dialogue. All I wanted to do was update you on my status--excuse me, I meant to say lack of an interesting summer whatsoever.
So there. In the words of an inspirational people I have ever met:
Can we all just--
Nite,
Burgers.
What time is it?
Sophomore Summer so far is a bummer.
