| So it's been nearly 2 years since I last blogged on this account, my
last entry being about Senior year Lip Sync - man that seems ages
ago. It's amazing how you come to college expecting this amazing
new experience and you're forced to mature so fast and you just
assimilate into college life so fast you don't even realize how much
you change from high school.
As I near the conclusion of my freshman year here at Cal, it just hits
me so hard what a weird concept college is. Here I am a few
hundred of miles away from home, rooming with a random person, taking
classes in philosophy, business principles, and web desgin all in one
go. I come home, no parents, no supervision, just me and my own
self-regulation - or lack thereof. I've been through so much, I
feel so emotionally, mentally, and physically drained. It's so
hard to articulate what each of us has experienced in college; for me
especially. I never considered myself particularly naive or
ignorant, but after starting school I suddenly feel like I took one
giant step back from the bubble of Cerritos and actually exposed myself
to the real world. I can't seem to relate to the experiences of
my friends back home, I feel so detached, I'm literally a world apart
from where I used to be.
Well, that was a poorly phrased entry. So much for coming back
with a bang. I'm amazed how much Xanga has upgraded its user
interface, and know that I've picked up some minimal HTML and
Javascript skills, I'm looking forward to fiddling with the tools and
perhaps I'll start adding pictures.
In the meantime, have a day. Good times. |
