Well this is my first real blog of the new year. I am currently writing this in the library of my new college and I thought I would go over my first 4 days living at the college. Also since I wanna keep the college I live at a secret for personal safety reasons I will henceforth refer to the college as Dave
When I first got to Dave I was with the rest of my family and they helped me move my stuff into my dorm room. I was honestly surpised at how quick I was able to get all my stuff inside.I didn't stay in the dorm that night since I still wanted to spend some time with my family so I waited until Sunday before I moved in. When Sunday came I got there at around 2 PM and my roommate was in there. I'll be honest I don't have a good impression of my roomate. He seems like a generally ok guy other than a few disconcerting things.
#1. He has a Trump hat.This is kinda the big deal and this obviously means hes a trump supporter which mean I'm likely not going to be as openly bisexual near him because I have good reason to believe he would react negatively to it.
#2 He smokes weed, but like in a lame way. What I mean by this is that hes impled that he smokes in the dorm room which I am not a huge fan of, at least I would be upset if he did it while I was in there. I don't really appreciate getting second hand smoke as well as the weed smell. I'll guage the situation going forward but as long as he donesn't do anything stupid like setting off the fire alarm I think it'll be alright.
#3 He swears a lot. There's nothing inherently wrong with swearing but when its happening several times a sentence I just find that trashy.
Ok moving on from the roommate, Another issue I've found is that its hard, at least for me, to find friends. There was no orientation for newcoming students, presumably because I came in the Spring semester, which kind of blows because when I am left to my own devices I am not great at making friends. I have made a few acquaintances in some of my classes, but other than that no real friends. However I am not losing hope yet as this is still an ongoing process. There are going to be many different events throughout the college and I am going to visit as many as I can in hopes of finding friends. They have this event coming this Friday where they will be giving away puppy chow on the 5th floor of my dorm building which I will absolutely be going to.
Another idea in my puruit to attain friends is trying out for the esports team, specifically for Smash Ultimate and Mario Kart. Now if I'm being totally honest, I will probably get my rear totally handed to me, but I'm not doing this as a genuine attempt to join the esports team. My hope is that I find likeminded friends while trying out, and hopefully I find some people to have fun and play some games with. We shall see how this goes as I filled out my form for requesting to join and they should be getting to me soon.
My other attempt to get friends, although a pretty sorry one, is what I'm doing right now. I'm kinda just sitting in the library hoping someone comes up to me and asks me what I'm doing. I would honestly love to explain to someone how I made my website as its something I'm really passionate about and something I think other peopel might find interesting. This is one of the hobbies that I'm really proud of. I wish more of my friends would make websites because you can really express your personality in them and have a lot of fun making it.
Also little detail before I finish off is I named this Blog after the breking bad episode 4 days out, but it also applies to the fact that I'm four days into living at my new college. In many ways I am like Walt and Jesse in that episode, stranded far away from my family and loved ones, my only way out is to build a robot.
