Missing the Old Days

So here I am, on a Monday night/Tuesday morning, at 1 a.m., writing a blog, when I should be sleeping since I have to be at work at 9 in the morning.

Now, if there is anything I can do to change that sentence, it would be replace the word work with the word school. Less than a week ago, I turned 22, and for the first time, school started without me. And I have now realized how much I miss it.

While work isn't all that bad, I would much rather be spending my time up at CCU spending time with friends and complaining about how I wish I wasn't in school anymore. When you grow up going through the different grades and schools, the one thing that 99% of students can agree on, is that they wish they weren't in school anymore. But now that I am out of school, I can say that probably 99% of new graduates wish they were back in school.

School is easy. No major responsibilities, and you're around your friends. Now I get to work 6 days a week, and really, on my day off, I somehow find myself working for about an hour. It's brutal. And while making money is always a good thing, I find myself growing apart from some of my friends I made at CCU. I find myself wondering where I will be 1 year from now, and how close will I be with my friends. Best case scenario, I've made decent money from poker and can afford to not work 7 days a week. Worst case scenario, I continue to work 7 days a week and find myself having grown even farther from the friends I have.

I have never wanted to be in school as much as I want to be in school now.

For anyone that is in high school or college and is reading this, I advise you to try and enjoy school as much as possible, because one day you'll be finished for good, and you'll soon realize how much you miss it.

So that's it for tonight. Didn't put as much thought into this as I would like, but I told someone I would write a blog tonight, and here it is (although it probably wont get read until tomorrow). I've been trying to write more lately, but for whatever reason just can't get started, or I don't have any ideas, so I'm going to try to do better. I'll go ahead and tell you that my next blog will be title "Regrets", because I have found recently that I feel the need to get something off my chest, even if it's just through words. And of all the blogs I have done so far, it will probably have the most thought and heart put into it. While I don't like to set a deadline, I'll try to work on it a little each night and have it finished up by Friday night in case your interested.
