First week in college.

I’m lying in bed, listening to a classical playlist, and as I’m typing this I know that I have to sleep before 12:00 am because I don’t have an excuse to sleep any later and my classes start early tomorrow. As I’m typing this, I tell myself that I mustn't keep it sad or nostalgic or any of that stuff because that isn't what this blog is about. And right now, I feel like I’m juggling between a conversational mood and well… how I write when I don’t really feel too happy but not too sad, either.

But wow, college is hard. Getting around UP is not as easy as I thought it would be. Somehow, it feels like a new world, and one I’m still finding my way in. Living so far away from home does make me feel more mature, but it also highlights how young and childish I had been and am at this very moment.

Of course, this is probably just a huge adjustment period for me. It, too, will pass and I’ll be laughing and holding my own in this enormous place someday.


Nevertheless, now I sort of understand why most college people and those above them view High Schoolers as inexperienced children; why most of my friends became less carefree when they went to college. It really is a different world out there.

PS. First post! Yay! I'll try to keep my next posts more informal and conversational than this.
