Melancholy is no Longer Fashionable

I'm feeling kind of disconnected from things right now.

It's something I can't quite put my finger on.

I love Athens. I love going to UGA. I even enjoy dorm life. But nearly everyone here feels like an acquaintance. And it gets lonely, not having your close friends around.

Friends seem to happen by accident for me. And I could name several people I saw tonight that I would like to spend more time with and get to know better, but I have no idea how to orchestrate something like that.

And so it goes.

Welcome to my late night thoughts. In my head I complain. A lot.

I don't miss Winder, but I miss Winder people. Maybe its being younger or less jaded or something, but Winder kids are so much more genuine and accessible than most people here. I'm having a hard time cracking people's shells.

I'm really gonna be okay. One just has to articulate these things for them to gradually get better.

Jenna, you know you are my bestfriend even though we hardly see each other. In fact you are like my only real friend. We can not talk for a really long time and then just jump right back into things. Well, anyways, what I'm getting at is that I don't really have any friends either. It is hard making friends when they already have established groups. I am sort of making friends with this girl named Amanda and all by accident. We became lab partners and then project partners b/c we had lab together and she came over at 2 to interview this guy at the landfill and ended up staying until 9. It's weird but weird things happen to make the best of friends.. Hey we were forced to sit next to each other on the bus in 5th grade, who would have know we would still be friends? I love you babe.
