| as much of a pain it was when i was in it, i do have to say that, after 2 months of the real world, i miss being in school. yeah, there is homework, and there are tests, but other than that, it was a blast. whether it was walking to class, going to get food, or hitting up the bars, you'd spend every hour of every day with all of your friends, and do everything together. now...i feel so disconnected with life. i leave every monday morning, heading out to memphis, and from then until thursday night, all i see are my coworkers. not that they arent cool people, but ive known my group of 7 or 8 people for all of 2 weeks, and since everyone goes home on the weekends, it becomes mostly a group of people you go to dinner with, so you dont have to eat all by your lonesome. i get home on thursday night (missing greys, dont even get me started), where are all my friends? everything i do now, i do it alone. i feel like i miss out on so much that is going on, in my life, or my friends' lives. speaking of lives, i have this coworker, he is same age as me, straight out of college, and he's already planning on proposing to his girlfriend. crazy huh? and another coworker, we just had him a bachelor party, hes only about 25, getting married too. plus i work with all these middle aged people, most of whom are married, and some young people, who are mostly all in long, committed relationships. which gets me thinking...am i behind in my life? im 22 already, maybe 5-10 years from when people start having families, and i dont even have any legit prospects yet- is that a bad thing? i'm young, not tied down, get to travel, making dough...i should be loving life, shouldnt i? |
