So I've been away at college for 3 weeks now and I'm really surprised about how big of a deal this whole transition isn't. Maybe there's something that's going to hit me soon, but I seem to be missing something. Or perhaps its because my parents gave me plenty of freedom while growing up, especially in my later years as a high schooler. Last year, I'd wake up, get ready and such, go to school, come home, waste time, and repeat. Nothing more really seems to be happening. I've been doing a hell of a lot more work this year than I did last year, but I have access to predominantly the same activities I was interested in before. I can still do anything I want on my computer (except for use bittorrent), I can still go to the gym, and I can still hang out with my friends when I want (well, not the friends I actually want to, but that's aside the point). I suppose it is surreal having an empty wallet and getting by easily, but the school essentially provides what I need and most of the freedom to do what I want.
Oh the flipside, there's nothing to do here, which will probably get old unless I develop a mass time-consuming hobby. Video games come to mind, but I'd really like pass my classes and not be everybody else who failed Physics 221 because of COD4. Chess seems like a suitable pasttime.
