Well, it's Thursday night and another weekend lies teasingly out of reach. Lately, weekends have been getting me down. In fact, I become down-right emo when the weekend rolls around. Why, you ask? Because I've transferred to a new school and I only know a handful of people. That, coupled with the fact that I don't have a car to drive myself around in, means that my weekends are usually dead. And now, all I can do is sit in my room and try to study, while my mind drifts to happier times.
Times when on any given night I would find myself: playing Halo with the Sweet Suite guys, catching up on all the classic movies I missed out on with Eamon, playing Beer Pong and/or Civilization with Jason and John, talking about things that only we'd understand with Trevor, saying quotes from hilarious videos with Holly, singing my way through the New Testament with Nicole, having delicious drinks served to me by White, watching Disney movies with the Alpha Chi girls, hollaaaaaaa'in with Marcia; the list goes on and on.
And so as I sit here, neck deep in depression, I get a message from some girl named Holly. Amazingly, in one paragraph I am brought up to the emotional apex of my day--and straight back down even lower than I was before.
My Away Message: "Finally, I'm done with my school day. Please, somebody remind me that college is about more than just school work..."
Message From Holley: "It's not just about school work. It's about BEST FRIENDS and rice-wiches. It's about faking out safety and studying together while drinking a huge red bull. It's about counting analogies and lab partners. It's about late night hang outs just to watch That 70's Show and awesome haircuts. :) It's about always having a lunch date and Teen Girl Squad sessions. And unfortunately, lately, it's about missing all of those things. :("
God dammit Holly. I swear if I could cry I'd be doing it right now; but I can't. So instead, I'll just sit back and drift to sleep; let the waters rise above my head. And maybe, just maybe, I'll find some peace.
