Well I've gotten through the first month of my Fall Semester and what an intense first month it has been.
I think it's amazing how college can either break you or make you, how it makes you realize more about yourself in a short time, then ever before--or so this has been my personal experience.
In a month, I've had to come to grips with some harsh reality such as, encountering people who will dislike you simply because of who you are, others who will use you for their own reasons, and the fact that you can have hundreds of friends and still feel lonely at night time.
To be honest, I am adjusting and the adjustment for me has been quite difficult. Yes, I am still that social butterfly, and that will never change--but I also feel alone at the same time. It's odd because when I walk around, people know me, and they speak to me and I am really active on campus. However, I can't seem to shake the isolation and that is the worse part I guess of being in college and not back at my high school.
I've become so accustomed to the sheltered environment that I spent the last four years at...and now I am in the real world, dealing with real issues--and love is still on the backburner.
To be continued...
