Is this what life outside of college looks like?
I have no friends. My friends are spread across the country chasing the dreams they've been preparing themselves for. I am here in Indy.
My family has gone to the farm and I've stayed to grade papers. Thought I'd hang with Red but shes gone back to school in Ohio.
I'll finish grading and swim. Then what? This morning sister Bee came in like the whirlwind she is and I told her bluntly my problem because I know shes been there.
"This is great that you have recognized this and you're proactive about it. People are stupid and think friendship is going to come to them. Its not."
"It does in college."
"Alyssa its a great time to be in Indianapolis. Anyone who's doing anything in Indy right now is your age." She made this sound like people putting effort into something, people with projects or passions.
"I'm not looking to make a difference. I dont want to change anything." I just want friends.
"I know. Theres just a lot happening right now. A lot going on. Its a great time to be here.
And you need to start hanging out with cousins. I do too."
"They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom."
-Confucius
