Halloween

Halloween at college is absolutely ridiculous. Girls wear little-to-nothing, disregarding the frigid temperatures and countless eye-rapings. Drunkards roam the streets, making complete fools of themselves and dashing through traffic. Partiers pack the buses, not afraid to push and shove, and randomly bursting into well-known chants and songs.

It's funny. Today is actually Halloween but not too much is going on. It appears everyone has become mentally, physically, and 'liver-ly' exhausted due to the nonstop partying of the past three nights. Everyone is just crashing on their beds and taking much-needed rests.

Once upon a time, when we were all good kids, Halloween was just a holiday linked with entertaining costumes and free candy. It was a time where friends could just travel door to door and be rewarded with candy simply by knocking and muttering 'trick or treat'!

It's truly amazing how things change as we grow up.

A thought

It'd be nice to meet someone like me.

Update

I've decided that I may start blogging again... even if it's just a post from time to time. It's a nice place to just throw out all my ideas and thoughts and figure out certain aspects of my life.

Well this is my first blog post as a college student. College is a really interesting place. You can pretty much do whatever you want, whenever you want. You can just open the door, walk down the hall, and find someone to chill with, talk to or even just do homework with. Meshing into Rutgers wasn't a problem for me. Getting to know people has always been easy for me, and I realized just how easy it is to make friends once Rutgers started. At college, you can find every single type of person in the world. There are so many different personalities, cliques and niches that its nearly impossible to not find your respective 'group'. With this, looking around the campus, I always see so many kids that just gave off awkward, eccentric vibes. It's kind of made me feel sympathetic for these kids because some of them are really nice people... They're just too shy and socially-inept to properly integrate themselves into a new environment and make friends.

I've been keeping in touch with a few of my high school friends... It's hard though. Sometimes I'll get a text from someone from high school and just unintentionally overlook it, because I'm so sucked into college life. When I'm sitting in the dining hall, eating with one of my friends, I'm not going to pull out my cellphone and start texting one of my high school friends. To be honest though, I don't miss any of my high school friends. Only a handful, maybe. It's only when I'm talking to them or catching up with them that I begin to reminisce and experience those nostalgic, bittersweet feelings. I really can't wait for breaks and seeing how my friends have changed, grown, or even regressed. It's going to be fun when we all come together and share our 'college adventures'. I'll try not to disappoint.

College has been pretty crazy - I think I've kind of lost myself in it. If I was to rewind two or three years, I would have never expected myself to have turned out the way I am now. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, but I'm enjoying myself. One thing I'm certain of is that college has made me have no shame. From last summer until now, I have become completely shameless - no matter how 'shameful' my actions are.

So many unbelievable things have happened since August 28th, move-in day. I feel like I've been here forever, experienced so much and had so much fun, even though it has not even been two months yet.

Hm, well that's all I feel like writing about for now. Don't worry, you'll be hearing from me again.

August 13th

I am pretty happy.

I am also pretty disappointed about a few things though.

I think once college starts I'll be 100 percent happy... hopefully.

Me.

It's amazing how so many people can have such starkly different views on me. Actually, the amazing part is how each person truly believes they have the correct interpretation of me. I mean, someone has to be wrong, right? I can't be two absolutely conflicting personas.

Hm, so I wonder, which set of people are actually correct about me?

The Radio

Now that it's summer, I find myself driving around all the time and with driving, of course comes listening to the radio. Unfortunately, I've come to realize that listening to the radio really kills music for me. Songs that just come out soon lose their luster as they're played over and over again on the radio. Nowadays, it seems like every radio station plays a shuffled, set playlist of the top eight new songs. When Recovery came out, Not Afraid and Love The Way You Lie were amazing. Now, after hearing them being played at least once each car-ride, the songs don't really catch my ear anymore.

I guess that's why it's always nice to pop in an ipod when you're driving around with friends. Just turn up the volume, max out the bass and sing along to all the old songs we haven't heard in a while. Songs we remember being played at field day during elementary school sometimes top the mainstream hits.

Friday

Hope everything works out. It would be quite depressing if it didn't.
