It’s been a month now and I find it interesting how often I feel like I am the only one here. There are +30,000 people around me at any given time and yet my interest in others no longer exist. In high school I knew people. I talked to friends on a day to day basis about everything. Now, I talk less and listen more. Listen to lectures, listen to educational videos, listen in club meetings, listen in study sessions. It sucks not to talk to anybody (and by ‘talk’ I mean really have a sit down conversation).
Besides this more or less depressing realization I have also seen a difference in learning level. I have come to understand more about a variety of subjects in a month than a semester of high school. I have been granted a whole new outlook on the world that makes so much more sense than the mess it was before. Yeah my social life has gone down the toilet, I have stress that makes me physically sick, and the amount of work they expect is either do or die for your GPA. It is almost hard to believe some students can go to out every night of every week and still have the grades to be enrolled here.
Finding out what relaxes you, what calms you down when your stressed, is something that is good know before you enter college.
