Be Random

I haven’t really been enjoying college if I am going to be completely honest. I do not like it, and unlike most people, it is not because of the work load and classes. (Don’t get me wrong, I am not too crazy about that either, but I expected that.) What I really have been hating is my social life.

I was looking so forward to meeting new people and making new friends, but as a commuter it seems near impossible. As I have said in other blogs, school is one of my top priorities, I am not going to dish out a large sum of money to get bad grades and make a bad name for myself. I am trying to do just the opposite, which I feel like I have done so far…. academically.

I go to school and then between my classes I do homework and then when my classes were over I would go hang out with my boyfriend and a few of my other friends from high school who go to SCSU. Then I would try to be home for dinner and get the rest of my homework done there. I do my best work when I am in my own room and I have everything I need rite there. Which isn’t really something that I can do easily when I don’t have a dorm on campus. These past two months dragged on like this.

I decided that this technique wasn’t working, I realized that if I want to be happy in college I have to step out of my stupid homework revolving life style…simply because I hated it. Now I try to meet up with people between classes so that I can hang out on campus, and even though it is a pain I sometimes drag “everything I need” to school and I bring it all into my boyfriends dorm so I can spend more time with people. I have also started sleeping over more, it’s almost like partially living on campus. When I feel like it I head over, I can only do this because I am lucky enough to have an amazing boyfriend.

Spending more time on campus is helping me to start new friendships and feel more like a college student. Before it felt like I was still left behind in high school, but now with my new more spontaneous schedule, college is starting to feel a little more like what I had hoped for.
