I look at myself now, I can barely even recognize myself. I feel lost, confused and I have no idea of the direction in which I want to go.
For example, I just ran around my residence hall to see if I could find someone to go to a local bar with me so I could meet up with some of my upperclassmen friends involved in student government. Honestly, would I sell my morals for popularity, for the opportunity to become someone in my new school when I started the year? Would I have run around on a school night asking for a bar buddy? I know I wouldn't, not in September. But September has come and gone.
I thought I was going to be strong coming into this. No matter what other people did I would dance to my own rhythm. After all, college for me was necessary for a high paying job. But something changed. I got caught up in the vanity of popularity. I got caught up in the late nights, the flirtation with hot girls and the promiscuous activities and appearances that were necessary to be "popular." I am not sure if I want to continue down this path. I feel that while I have forged some relations with popular kids who can take me places or back me in an election, I also feel that I have deserted and left behind the friends I grew so close to the first semester. I feel like I have lost the friends I truely cared about. I feel alone.
