21st birthday revelation
So this weekend it was my 21st birthday and I had a blast. But I came to the realization of one thing. I kind of want to grow up and be done with school. It was after the wedding reception that I had gone to and i was at a bar when it hit me. I was talking to a girl, whom I was having a good time talking with when she asked me what I was going to school for, as it was still only my 21st birthday. I told her it was engineering and we both made jokes about nerdy engineering students. Everyone was starting to get tired at the bar that had come from the wedding reception but I still knew I had a long night left in front of me…this is where it hit me, she was talking about how she could stay up no problem in her college days and now that she has graduated and has been working, it has become harder and harder. I was instantly hit with, damn I am going to go back to school in the morning and I still have a minimum of a year left of school. Even though I would probably not had the guts to ask for a phone number or anything like that, I still have a year before it even makes sense to do that at a bar. So it is not that I am tired of everyone I hang out with here, it is the Michigan tech ratio of one girl for what seems like twenty guys that is really making me want to graduate. It is the times that I go home for the weekend and see more girls in a weekend than I see in a week that makes me want to graduate. It is talking with a complete stranger and realizing that I am going 4 hours one direction and they are going 3 in the other that makes me want to graduate. Even though there is no real responsibility in the college life, it is the responsibility that life after school brings, that really makes me want to graduate. So even though the probability of me seeing this person ever again is next to none, it was the conversation at the bar on Saturday night that opened my eyes to the seclusion of Houghton, MI and Michigan Tech compared to almost anywhere else… That’s all I have got, it is probably gibberish to most that read it, but whatev…I had to write it down
