So, I know it's kinda late to be writing this, considering how far into the semester we are, but I figured, why not?
College has been interesting thus far. I've made some friends, my classes have been manageable, and I've even had some semblance of a social life. All pluses, in my opinion. But it's also had its downsides. I feel isolated here. Yeah, I participate in activities and I do things around campus, but I'm away from my family and my best friend. I don't know how to connect with people on a meaningful level. Usually I put my mask on when I walk out of the door and leave it there until I'm either back in the safety of my dorm room or at home. The days just blur into each other, and I can't find the will to stop and just take everything in. It's too hard to anchor myself in the constant stream of day-to-day life, but I need to. My sanity depends on it.
Wow. That was some heavy stuff right there. I'm sorry about that. I guess I was holding it in longer than I thought, and it came rushing out as soon as my fingers hit the keys. So, to lighten the mood, let me tell you about all of the cool things I've been doing. Most recently, Analyssa and I worked at this food drive event called The Haunted Howl. Basically, you bring a can of food to donate and go around to a bunch of booths and play games to get candy and other such treats. It was really cool, except that our booth didn't have a game for the kids to play. So, we just handed out candy (lame, I know, but if I was a kid I would have loved it. No fuss, just candy.) Anyway, that was fun, especially because we got to hang out with some cool girls from our Exito class.
