Let's talk about college, shall we? Yes we shall.

Well this is interesting. Finally on my own, away from the parents, the one thing that I've been saying I can't wait for for I don't know how long, and now it's finally here.

It's meh.

Don't get me wrong. Amazing opportunities, center of learning, chance to meet new people, a recently renovated South 40 residential area that has the upperclassmen bitter because the freshmen and sophomores are living in a "Disney theme park" as one of them put it. It's good.

I miss my friends, I miss her.

The people here are strange. We're all geeks, every one of us. But that fact means that people just fall back into the normal categories, we've got bros, we've got the preppy overenthusiastic blonde girls, we've got hypergeeks (since the normal kind aren't very obvious here). I'm still looking for my people. They've got to be around here somewhere.

Closing note: work hard play hard is not a motto here, it's a way of life.
