It’s Wednesday. Hence, the “it’s hump day” caption! For those of you that are unfamiliar with the phrase it just means we are getting over the middle of the week, and are halfway to it being over.
This week has not been a great one. College is basically being a royal pain in the ass right now. My classes right now are pretty dull, and I had a hard time getting anything good for next year. I feel like with my current selection of courses, I am just going through the motions. Like a mindless troll just going to college so I have a degree. I don’t feel like anything I am doing is helping me out. Something just doesn’t feel right.
Aside from the fact that I am in a rut with the academic stuff, I am hating the social life here. I got a good group of friends and all that, but there is nothing to do at this college! Downtown is an economically depressed dump that has nothing but decent eateries and bars. At nighttime, lets just say you wouldn’t want to be caught downtown. I am 3 hours away from NYC, so my concert going has also been stripped from me. It’s safe to say that I am not cool with seeing absolutely no shows!!!! Basically here you either drink, or sit in your dorm. There is not much to do here, and it sucks.
I also hate my living conditions right now. I did get a brand new building which I thought would be cool. Well, it hasn’t. The little accommodations for the new building have pretty much all failed. I got over that quick enough, whatever. However, dealing with the people here is not something that I can deal with. It’s all fraternity brothers and sorority sisters (This isn’t speaking against any of you that are in frats/sororities) In my college/dorm they are basically douchebags who are re-living their high school glory. The sorority girls are basically girls who belong in the OC or Miami but are stuck in upstate NY. If you are not a frat brother, they literally ignore you. Who the fuck wants to live with these people?
You could say my friends and I are a bit disheartened by this. When I thought about getting a nice new building, I guess I didn’t think about what would be living in it lol! I lived in the older version of this building last year and loved it. I had a hall full of great dudes who made college great. This year it’s all abercrombie & fitch, backwards fitted caps, ugg boots, and black northfaces. It’s not just in my dorm either, people just seem lame here. I always had hopes that college people would be cooler, but I guess up here that doesn’t apply! It isn’t just me either, I have come across at least 20-30 people who all feel the same way as me.
I should be moving off campus next year, which should be exciting…if I am still here. I am contimplating the idea of transferring as a junior. I am going into this idea blindly at the moment though, so don’t take my word on that one. I am going to discuss this idea more with my parents when I go home for Turkey Day.
I am hoping to push through the rest of this pretty lame semester, and just get home for the time being. Here are some songs I have been chilling with as of late:
[mp3] : Vampire Weekend – The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance (Miike Snow Remix)
[mp3] : Devendra Banhart – Baby
[mp3] : Kanye West – Wouldn’t You Like To Ride
[mp3] : Florence + The Machine – You’ve Got The Love (XX remix)
