There was a freshman gathering today on campus today, with free pizza and stuff, just so we could meet some new people I guess. My roommate and I had planned on going to this since the weekend. So the thing is starting at 7, and it's 6:45, and he says: "Are you ready to go?"
"To what?" I respond.
"The freshman gathering thing! Free pizza, remember?"
"Oh...right." At this point I was pretty deep into my nightly PCing and didn't feel like taking a break. I knew I should probably go, but honestly...I'd rather be here. So I told him to go without me. XD
Turns out it wasn't too fun, I guess people just hung out with their friends and didn't really meet anyone new. So in theory, I sorta dodged a bullet. But still, I feel guilty for not going. That's the whole point of college, right? Meeting new people and having some new experiences. I've been here for almost three months and nothing "new" has popped out at me. I mean, there's part of me that wants to go out and explore...but then the other part just wants to chill on PC. I suppose there are worse things in the world, and I am technically meeting new people. It's just not the college experience I thought I'd be having. And the weird part is...I don't feel bad about it at all. The main thing is that I get decent grades, and I always have my friends back home that I talk to every day. Perhaps I have a healthy addiction going for me here?
In conclusion...PC > free pizza. ^______^
