i think normaj makes a good point, but i'll reinterpret it/translate it in my own way-- i'll appropriate it:
i live in a small town now and i see this: for a lot of "normal" people, highschool is the highlight of their existence, their peak, their greatest achievement, and they remain mentally and emotionally stuck forever in that place. oh i see plenty of those, they are the kind of people who love homecoming parades and shit like that. ha ha ha.
see, it is a good thing i think to get out of your hometown and see the world and learn about it, and when you come back some day you can bring what you've learned to your community, if you want to come back. now... maybe you didn't make the right move on your first try, maybe you went to the wrong place, maybe you just weren't ready for it, but don't pay any mind to the assholes who see this as an opportunity to feel better about themselves by putting you down. they're just assholes who lack any real self-esteem.
ok. go forth & thrash now.  |
I understand that in many cases it's good to "see the world" or whatever if you have the opportunity, but it's still not for everyone, no matter which way you turn it. My only real opportunity to do so is through college, but I have no desire to spend that much time anywhere if I have to do it college style (which to me means dorm life coupled with having no actual money to do anything, because let's face it, few things come by free). The whole experience is bad enough as it is. And it's just made worse when you have to put yourself in the middle of some place that's not even familiar to you. I don't like the feeling of constantly being at college, which is how I felt in Chicago. Being in a dorm room is much worse than being in a classroom setting. And now at community college, I only spend a few hours a day at school, and then I can go home, which makes it all much more tolerable.
Like I said, I would be interested in traveling the world and etc, but it's not a realistic expectation in any way. Once I'm out of school, the opportunity probably won't present itself. And coupling school with a new place pretty much ruins the new place for me, so there is little hope that I'll ever attempt both at the same time.
