I'm back to the college grind, well it's a slow start but once it picks up it won't let up I'm sure. Then there's part 2 of college: the social world. It started off a little bumpy, but hopefully it smooths out. I think the biggest problem is that people either worry too much or not enough. People can sometimes have a tendency to get too involved in others problems by trying to be helpful. Then they either become a pest by thinking they know the answer (sometimes it's best to leave it & let one figure it out themselves) or the problem rubs off on them & tensions rise. On the other hand, people may not think of others at all & hurt them unknowingly. There is a balance that has to be reached. One of the most important things I have learned is that if someone tells you something in confidence, or if you think it is something personal keep it to YOURSELF. They will talk about it with others when they are ready. Minimize the gossip. Also, watch who you rely on you never know when something will arise (so also have a backup plan). Oh, and always watch your back. There are some serious creepers out there.
It's nice living on my own again. Mostly due to food. I get to eat what I want & since I'm not much of an carnivore it works out really well. GO FRUIT! I also like having the freedom of staying out to when I want & figuring out situations on my own. However; it can be scary too. Sometimes I just don't know what to do! That's when I call the parents.
