Shit I don't like.

An empty campus. That's that shit I don't like. But what can you do. Everyone graduated and after a string of shitty bar nights I realize it's time to depart. I'll be out of here permanently in a couple of days, still hasn't completely hit me yet what is happening. I factually realize that 95% of the people I've interacted here are automatically ruled out for ever seeing them again. As for the close friends, we'll see. I plan on staying close this summer, but time and time again people have told me that you don't stay in touch nearly as much as you would like to. I guess I just have to play it by ear. I start work next month, and I depart for Europe in a week. Speaking of that, expect some detailed posts either after or during the trip. It should be a good time, and I'm hoping for some good stories to put college to rest on a high note.

Awkward interactions. That's that shit I don't like. Like, you graduate and you see some kids at the bar that you used to know. But, you are graduated and leaving in two days. You make eye contact, but is it even worth it to go have a conversation with them? You knew them in your sophomore phase, but now you have absolutely nothing in common except for the fact that you both will never cross paths ever again. It's just an uneasy feeling. Part of you feels horrible for not trying to make conversation while your logical side realizes there is zero point. You exchange a couple more quick uneasy eye contacts and hope it ends there.

Unfinished business. That's that shit I don't like. Sadly, there are a handful of people I'm not on good terms with right now. It's kind of sad knowing the vendettas will never be settled considering I will never see them again. Sure, none of this will matter very soon. But when you take a step back to reflect on everything, it's just shitty and kind of upsetting knowing you're not on good terms with everyone.

THE GOOD.

The last couple of days, have been completely stress free. For once, I legitimately have NOTHING to worry about. I made it. Sure, when September hits and the classic college cycle is broken with no transition back to campus life I'll feel weird. But after one winter everything should feel normal. I'm moving onto the next step whether I like it or not.
As much as I like to bitch about the shit I don't like, I really have created memories here that will last a lifetime. Stories I can pass down to my kids one day in a HIMYMesque fashion, and I'm looking forward to that.

To be continued as I'm having trouble keeping my eyes. Open.
