Maybe as you do get older, the outlandish starts becoming even more outlandish, or maybe you're just becoming more out of touch with the times.
As I stated from the beginning, I am not your typical average college student. I don't like to drink, I find fraternities and sororities interesting but not for me, and I love school. I have always felt I was lightyears ahead of everyone, but now that gap seems to be shortening...too quickly.
Perhaps its the territorial animal in me, but I've never been privy to be equated to everyone. It's the artistic ego. I always feel I'm one step ahead or at least try to be. But I don't flaunt it, at least most of the time. I'm the type of individual who always tries to stay ahead of the curve but wants everyone else to get there with him. I don't like leaving others behind.
But now I feel like I'm falling behind. Steadily. Quickly. And damn fast.
I feel like at college, I have really missed that essential part of being a college student: going out. I feel like I'm becoming my Dad. My Dad is a very solitary animal, and really doesn't like socializing. I mean, I like to socialize, but I have a limit. I've been trying to raise the limit but it's been met with opposition by my supposed Type A personality (which is odd, because up until now, no one has described me as Type A...more like Type F).
I just logged off of Facebook after viewing a person's profile and I quietly said to myself, what the hell happened to this person? Has he gone off the deep end? But then I stepped back and asked: Or have I truly become out of touch with people my own age?
Scary stuff.
Truly scary stuff.
