YATA

College: Completed.

Real World: I don't have a job.

Fuck, I don't want to grow up. Not at all. This has been the best 4.5 years of my life. It was good to make friends, somewhat go to class, date girls, but the best part has been finding myself. As a few of you know, I've always lived a weird double life. Frat dude/roleplayer. I used to try to lean more to the left in the above multiclass, but it sucked. I wasn't cut out to be a cheap beer guzzling, whore fucking stereotype. Don't get me wrong; I had a blast doing those things, but it really wasn't fulfilling. Something was always missing in my life. It wasn't girls. When I was single, DSism was life. When I had a girlfriend, DSism was life. I'm also not looking for a wife yet. (God, love is going to boot me in the face, isn't it? Shit.)

The fraternity thing was fun. I have made some friendships that will last a life time. I've made some friendships that will end today. I've made some enemies that will last forever. It's the nature of the beast. The process is about enduring. My best friends are the ones who have sat with each other and endured the ups and downs of the college lifestyle. College is a storm. A fun storm, but there are days, weeks, even months where it can be hell.

It took me awhile to realize this but the only people I still stay in contact with from high school are my gaming circle. This comes back to the whole enduring element of a friendship. My gaming friends have been with me ever since the beginning of high school when I would "play cards" or "watch movies" when we gamed. They put up with me. They put up at this weird mental perception that I was too cool to be their friends. We've endured.

Thanks for being my friends.

Overall, the only thing I've learned from college is to be myself and that in itself is worth the huge loan I know have to pay off.
