Socially Stunted. Squared.
I went to Greeley today. I wasn't entirely sure why at first. Because of boredom possibly? I mean, it's Greeley. It's boring. It smells like cow. But once I got back up here, I realized that my social life now is pretty non-existant. I know that graduating college is a huge reason for that. Being an adult sucks. You pretty much have to kill yourself working just to exist... where's the time to hang out? It's not fair that in college you have people around you all the time to hang out with and then once you move, boom. No people. Unless you're one of those 20-somethings that refuse to grow up and spend your weekends passed out on the couch of your old frat buddy. Then there's plenty of friends. Friends that want your free beer. But for the rest of us, life seems to go from crazy fun-ness to a big huge smack of reality in your face. Sure, you'll have the occasional friend want to go out dancing or out to dinner once a week if you're lucky, but it's nothing like college used to be and I freaking miss it. I miss movie night where we used to cram more people into our little basement apartment than we had couches for. I miss going to karate (soooo much!) and yes, I even miss TK. Not so much the stupid work and the cleaning up after piggish freshmen who don't know how to put ranch on their salad without spilling it all over the counter, but the people. TK is where I met most of my friends and even though the work was tedious and annoying sometimes, it was still fun. Admit it TK workers, it was fun. It's ridiculous how fast college went by now that I think about it. But then again, when I was actually in classes, the days just dragged on. I miss it so much. I feel like such a boring, anti-social adult now! What happened in that transition between college and career? It's cruel! Sometimes I wake up in the morning and go "Where's my dorm room? Where's the frisbee golf course? What happened to that 4 and a half years of my life I just ran through?! Take me back!" Damn responsibility. Stupid job. Just give me back my textbooks and dining hall.

We need to get a big house and be roomies. In like, Hawaii. That would rock. Seriously though, as much as I miss it, I have this ache to get out and live somewhere else. Maybe one day.
