At the beginning of my Freshman year, I was very concerned about making friends and having an active social life. Nowadays, not so much. It is very disheartening to think that in a school with nearly 40,000 undergraduates, I have not one person that I can truly relate to. Somebody who likes to ride bikes because walking is too slow. Somebody who really gets into what made a movie terrible. Somebody who lived overseas for most of their lives, doesn't like it when strangers try to make small talk, and likes to write.
The saddest thing is that there is probably somebody like that at this school. The problem is that we both enjoy staying within the confines of our dorms too much, meaning that we will never meet. And not having met, I have nobody to talk to, and the thoughts bounce around inside my head, begging to be spoken. If only somebody would listen and not get turned off by my cloud of criticism and negativity...
And so, the creation of this blog. Words that will be spoken, but not necessarily heard.
