Like it's a five minute walk from my house to the college I attended until last spring. If I want to go into town, I have to drive past the primary school I attended. The nearest supermarket? It's right next to my old secondary school. All these things the past thirteen or so years of my life revolved around are within a two to three mile radius of my house. Then I go on Facebook and all my friends seem to be living it up in big cities or even foreign countries. It's frustrating. I need a fresh start somewhere.

    I'm the same. Clubs and whatnot are shit if you don't drink. I went through that phase when I was 18 and hated it. Once in a while, sure, but I couldn't go to those places every weekend like some people do.
    Yeah, a change of scenery, especially at our age, is a fantastic thing. There's a reason so many people leave town when they first attend university -- it's hard to really feel like you're accomplishing anything when you're still stuck in the same place you've been pretty much your entire life, and are constantly being reminded of it. I go by my old high school pretty much every day, and almost all of my ex's places at least every other day. It's all within spitting distance. And it's hard to meet people around here who don't know you through some weird Kevin Bacon Association Game. Most of the people that I meet know of me either through some mutual high school friend, or because they were friends with one of my exes. It's hard to really start fresh when you're surrounded by the past.

    My original plan was to stay at home and save money while I got my first two years of a degree out of the way, then transfer and move away to complete it. It worked for a while but my social life suffered as a result. Practically everyone in my classes was way older than me and when you're 18/19 that's no fun at all. Some of them had families with multiple kids. By the end I'd started to loathe both the subject I was studying and the fact I was still stuck here, which really started to show in my work. Last spring I was actually back to repeat the final semester classes I'd fubar'd the first time around. I hated being there, and when family stuff happened I took that as a sign to cut my losses.

    So my current plan is:
    Move as far away as possible
    Study something completely different
    Don't tell ANYONE I'm 23

    Two Stupid Dogs was clearly superior, which is why it came on before and after.

    Also, hey all.

    I feel like I haven't really talked to you all recently, so I'm going to talk to you now.

    Also possibly berate you. Because that's how I am.

    Also, you need better defense or something. You always seem to be the first to fall.

    .....

    Granted, I could've prevented that (most likely) if Elin, Milady, and I weren't all paralysed at the time....

    You haven't even been up for 24 hours man.

    Seeing forever requires laughing gas or 72 minimum.
