Hey guys!
Stopping in....I've been at college for almost 3 weeks now, and to say the least its been less than what I've expected. I have talked to new people, been involved in ROTC, but I just don't feel a sense of belonging per se. I do not have a car so getting things such as haircut, etc. has been a little difficult. This weekend my girlfriend came up and we visited friends at a college about an hour away. And for once in 3 weeks I had a really awesome day
My problem is, I get up at 5 am 4 days during the week and by 11 o'clock at night I'm done, usually asleep. Everyone goes out and parties on the weekend and thats just not me. When my friends went to parties and such at home, I was always the DD. I had absolutely no issues and i knew everyone at the party so I was fine. Here, I'm in Lowell MA....and for those of you who don't know, its pretty much a Sh!thole. Sirens are just background noise now since there are shootings, robberies etc. almost daily.
Its not like I can wander off campus(which is beautiful despite the city) since it poses a legitimate danger to me. I put in my application to join the campus EMS and go through EMT school come spring. I am still waiting to hear back from them.
Its just the weekend that bothers me since nobody is around and I do not like partying/party environment with people that I hardly know. Its uncomfortable to me so I end up sitting in my room by myself most weekends. I'm just bored a lot...I've been doing my school work but find myself playing xbox or watching netflix on weekends since everybody is at a party.
Just needed to vent a little frustration I've been having. A lot of the guys in ROTC have been having issues too, when were talking I hear "I had to sleep on my buddies couch because my roomate threw a huge party and I had to be here at 5am"
Not to mention; at heart I'm more of a country kid than a city boy......so I'm out of my element needless to say...I miss corn fields and dirt roads
