| wow, i haven't been on xanga in a long time! go get facebook, guys! it's the ultimate blog! although, it's kind of losing it's unique-ness since it's now letting high school students to create accounts. but, whatever, it's still cool. i remember back in sophomore year in high school when everyone had a xanga and xanga was the coolest word around. *sigh* ah, the short life span of internet blogs. probably in about 5 years from now, nobody would have any idea what the heck a "xanga" is. although, "xanga" is a pretty darn cool word. i wonder how they came up with that. xanga.... so, uh, college is great! it can be a dump sometime, especially when you have the same schedule every week, but, hey, winter quarter's almost coming, which means a nice new schedule with, hopefully, an art studio class. isn't it amazing how people change? i mean, i used to be obsessed with w-inds and now, it's kind of an on-off relationship. jazz and oldies are my things now. used to hate red, love it now. used to think that interior designing wasn't my thing, still think it isn't my thing, but am willing to give it a try. used to be so fixated on majoring in science, not so sure anymore. used to be set on maintaining contact with everyone after high school, not so sure i can do that anymore. i mean, people grow apart, what can i say? i think, the friends you make in college are most likely going to be the ones that will last longer because you're just (theortically) more mature in college and your friendship is based more on maturity, not just, "i like having fun with you. i want to be your friend." of course, fun is important, but i guess there's more than just fun that makes a friendship last. i mean, how can you have fun with each other when you're seperated by a 9-hour drive? kind of makes it a little hard to do. i guess friends who have a similar goal and similar interests last longer too. because, i mean, if one friend sits at home and does nothing, while the other friend is out there interning, obviously, they're not going to have much to talk about. and, the friend who sits at home probably wouldn't be able to understand why the other friend doesn't have much time for 1-hour phone calls or girls-night-out. kind of sad how everyone is drifting apart, but there comes a time when you just have to move on. no use pining over something that is inevitably going to happen. guess what i'm trying to say is, get over it and move on! it's nice to see each other during breaks and it's perfectly ok to maintain the relationship, but if you are sure that it's not going to survive, then just let it go. do something with yourself. set a goal, keep your eyes on it, and then go for it! |
