Slightly Bored and Severely Confused

This weekend brought something sad to my plate, and I'd like to discuss it. I'll be vague as to not pinpoint, embarrass, or offend anyone.

Last year, my first year of college happened to be one of the best years of my life. I became involved in some really great things and made a lot of close friends who really supported me throughout the year and made the transition easy. Unfortunately, a good amount of my close friends were seniors last year and have since graduated. I always knew I would have to say goodbye to them, but I always thought we would be friends and I could talk to them if I ever had problems. I was also excited for when they would come back to visit.

This past weekend was one of those times. A couple of alumni came back to the school to see the improv group I'm in and just enjoy homecoming. I was ecstatic for over a week that I would get to see my buddies again, catch up, and remember fun times. This past weekend was literally supposed to be the highlight of my semester. Don't get me wrong, this past weekend was a blast and I had a great time, but something was missing. I didn't get to see my friends as much as I would have hoped, and I had almost no contact with them. There were some general pleasantries and hugs exchanged, but nothing like I had expected. I wasn't expecting 24/7 attention, but I felt like a part of the friendship was gone. All I hope is that it wasn't intentional. If it was intentional I guess I'll just move on from it, but it was a depressing realization at the time.

Thanks for reading. I promise not to make this blog not entirely about complaints. That would be uninteresting.

PEACE.
