It was GORGEOUS out today.

Title is self explanatory. Walked outside with a jacket expecting the same cold chill that would put me in my melancholy daze as I walked toward the dreaded busby hill and down to class. It was a pleasant surprise to be greeted by warmth, something I hadn't felt outside in ages. That aspect alone made walking around campus ten times more enjoyable than it usually is. Something about changing into Spring season up here- I'm not quite sure what it is. People are happier, the atmosphere is friendlier, and much more than personalities come out to play around this time. Whatever it is, I love it. I actually WANT to walk outside in the morning. I actually ENJOY being out and about. People were playing basketball outside, everyone seemed to be enjoying the day and I wasn't faced by a million faces tucked down into their north face jacket rushing to get inside the nearest building. Spring should really be longer, especially when you go to college in New England.

Enough about the weather. You guys were there, you know it was nice today. Perhaps you didn't enjoy it as much as I did, maybe you did. Got through with my midterm today and got to catch Project X after. Sickest movie I've seen in a while. If you're not into movies about partying, you probably wouldn't like it. But when I say this movie took it to the next level, I mean it. I don't think the previews did it enough justice. It had action, comedy, and other aspects added too. If you're in college I'd be shocked to hear that you didn't enjoy this movie.

So what's the deal with UConn bars? I mean, you've got Huskies which is dead 90% of the time on weekends. Occasionally you'll get that one good night where you pass by on your way to thirsties and see that there's actually life in there. Does everyone think the same up here? Is there one sporadic moment where everyone just decided it's a Huskies night? It's bizarre. Especially since Thirsties on a Friday or Saturday is usually solidly packed. Well, whatever. It's usually pretty easy to find one bar to go to on the weekend. The whole thing is kind of weird to me though, it's like .."let's go drink with the people we came with, only talk to the people we came with, and then leave at 12:30 am". I've never met someone at a bar that I didn't already know. It's super cliquish, which in theory makes no sense. Bars, aside from alcoholics, are for social people...even more so on a college campus. However I rarely see any mingling going on between groups, including my own. I'm usually content drinking some beers with the guys and running into people I know, but damn. Try to talk to someone you don't know, they look at you like you have three heads. I'm 95% sure it's a New England thing, but who knows. You could make the argument that Thirsties is too loud because of the music and is more of a dancing atmosphere, but then you have Teds which is the same thing minus the music. (I hate Teds).

I got pretty into that topic. Maybe this is how the blog will go, a little on my day and then go off on some tangent. As always feedback appreciated.

Song for the day is in honor of Project X, since it was on the soundtrack and is pretty much a classic of our generation. Until next time, peace out.
