funny...I went to college and found all of the things that you were
"promised". But a lot of that had to do with the fact that I REALLY
WANTED those things, so I made an effort to surpass who I had been in
high school (scared and timid around women, afraid of being socially
awkward, etc.), and be who I wanted to be, be the coolest version of me
that I could imagine. I discovered things about myself that I never
knew, things that I hadn't had the space to explore living under my
parents thumb, and going to high school with the same people who had
known me all my life, living in the same limited social role that I had
picked up as an awkward, unconfident kid and which I had never managed
to escape the whole time I was in school. I knew that college was a
chance to be someone else, to take all the dreams of who I could be, and
what kind of friends I could have, and make them come true. To meet a
girlfriend, and find out what kind of fun a man and a woman could have
together, when they could have time to explore each other, learn about
each other, and have no one to answer to. To go to parties, do drugs,
and have friends on a social level that I couldn't do in high school. To
live and explore my passions as I had never done before. So I did. I
still am, today. College was one of the best times of my life. Why you
would squander this priceless opportunity and blame other people for
"lying" to you, I'll never understand. |
