Had a surprisingly good time...

To say I haven't had that much fun in while would be an understatement. Once in college you do not have your built in friends you once had in high school, that built in group who had always been friends. This only exacerbates the problem of finding new friends. Yeah there are those people who are in the same classes as you, ones who share your major, do your clinicals with, it's those people whom you bond with more out of necessity and the common battle you face rather than the actual enjoyment of their company. Not to say you will not find some great friends there, but sometimes you won't.
The weird thing is, now that we are in college I find myself doing just that. Bonding with those who share the common classes and who will be taking classes next semester with me, because we're all in the same boat; but, somehow it feels more out of necessity. Would I really enjoy hanging out with these people? Probably not, and socialization in classes and those tiny moments in between is not enough to keep you from feeling completely alone.
Which brings me to the next point. This last Saturday was pretty much impromptu the whole time. Which kinda includes the Friday before it. It consisted of hanging out with my best friend (STEPH!) and the crazy kids she hangs out with. And I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed their company. Sure, I may not enjoy some of their musical tastes, nor am I so well versed in music groups as they are, but they were funny and real. And the best part is I felt comfortable being myself.
Which sounds stupid and like a teenager, but I swear there are just some people that you cannot be yourself around and even when "you" slip out they just insult you.
Not these cool cats!
Saturday started off with regular sabbath school followed by listening to Steph's friends play at the "heathen" church. Then we ate at Steph's house because of course her mom makes the best food! Then hanging in the afternoon. I long boarded, and wait for it!, did not fall off or die... yes I did go down hills and stuff.... and I was scared i was probably gonna die, but Stevie was there to help, and should I have fallen and could not get up, I feel he probably would have gotten help. Then we hung out some more, which always consists of guitars and singing before we went to a concert by a local artist. All and all it was a FANTASTIC time and gosh I hope to do it again some time becuase all school and no fun equals EMO!
