So I’m still very new at the whole college thing. The work hasn’t TOTALLY gotten to me yet – school work has always kind of been my thing – it’s more of a change of relationship thing I am seeing happening. For one thing, the relationship I have with my parents is SO off the wall. I am used to talking to them all of the time and them knowing what I am doing (usually). Now when I talk to them it’s like they’re practically strangers. We have these pseudo-conversations that seem to go completely nowhere. Additionally, I feel all this pressure to tell them great things about my college experience because I know they miss me and, well, they are helping me pay to be here. Oh well. I guess it is just the course of things.
The relationships with some of my favorite people back home are a little unsettling too. I mean I spilled my guys out to my best friend on the phone the other day and I got detached “mmhmm’s” and “I don’t know’s”. And then of course, there is that boy that everyone leaves behind. I mean, our text-message relationship has left us at friendship status I suppose. Then he drops in to my dorm and throws me in for a mini-loop.
It seems so trivial to go on about things like friends and boys but hey- that’s all I’ve got. As far as the people here go – they’re awesome! I have met all sorts of great people. One thing I found odd though, is that even though Temple has been rated the “most diverse campus in the country”, the majority of the people I have met are from Pennsylvania. I have- on more than one occasion- found myself in a room full of people who are ALL from this state(minus me of course). Not that I have a problem with you Pennsylvanians.
I would like to explore the city a little more too...
