Oh my god, so many of my old classmates are on MySpace and Facebook... and... god...
I miss them so much, but because I was a shy little fruitcake in grade school, I'm pretty sure they aren't interested in what I'm doing, so I'm not messenging them or anything like I want to. Yay, poor self image! *thumbs up*
Heh, this asian girl that I spent 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade with got accepted to Yale and graduated, and now she's in grad school. She's always been wicked smart, and her essay entered into a county-wide contest on something-or-other won my 8th grade class an overnight "experience" on the Star of India in San Diego, which was paranoia galore for me, but also a huge bonding experience for the people I did it with... who also probably didn't notice I was there, but whatever. I feel honored to have shared a GATE program with her, lol, even though I'm apparently not nearly as smart as she is.
...God, and so many of them are married and/or have children. People MY age! And it's not like they're being irresponsible, either, because we're... actually OLD enough to responsibly get married and have children. I totally don't feel that old. ... Oh god, I'm almost 24. When I hit 24, I'm going to start crying about how I'm getting old and can't enjoy my post-21 era because I'm such a wimp.
...ROFL, so I try to convince myself that I wasn't that big a nerd in high school, but then I notice what kind of music I listen to.
...Aaaaand I was going to also try and convince myself that while I'm not the brightest bulb in the package, I do have some art talent that alot of peeps at Yale probably don't have. To do so, I was going to post a picture I'm currently working on. ........And then I can't because my server's not responding. *thumbs up*
:p

You got an amazing talent for art, but...I didn't know Yale had some big art program or something X^D Yale is usually not an artsy-fartsy place like I picture it to be. But then again, any good college worth its salt should have something for artists like you :^D

elite colleges offer a great deal of opportunity, but they are certainly not the be-all and end-all to success in the world as some sources would have you believe. in fact, I'd say you have a better shot at happiness if you don't go this route. something to consider.

I know too many people though that have been in relationships where the only thing keeping them together was the 'idea' of being with someone. Ironically, I think the person that's ready to be in a relationship or is even ready to get married is someone who's content being single. It's no good when one or the other person in the relationship depends on the other person for happiness; someone's going to fail on their part, we all aren't perfect.
In general, it's just hard being young. We just have so much going on in our lives, and so much that we contemplaint about when we were just kids back in the day. Aww... the days of Nickelodean shows like Clarissa Explains it all, Guts, and Camp Onowana... brings back memories. It's best though just to think ahead, look forward to the future. Forget about relationships and what you're friends are doing, and just be content being single until that special someone comes along. Maybe he won't come, maybe he will. I think the best way to live is to not care what your maritual status is, and to be able to be happy either way.
