Today I changed it up, I went to the Rialto for Dinner. My friend Larissa and I went to say hi to our friend Molly who works there. I was excited for the change and I had a nice walk in the fresh air. While we were eating Larissa asked me if I had ever been inside the towers before, I said I haven't so I suggested we go and check it out, see what is like? My adventurous spirit began to stir within me, I was getting excited and eager to see what would happen. Larissa was reluctant to come with me, she was weary for she knew my expectations were high. I told her I wanted to just see what the floors are like? We would just walk the hallway then out the doors and down the stairs. Seemed simple enough, whenever exploring a new place you need to put on your brave face and act like you own the place. Needless to say we were a little wobbly but once we got our sea-legs we found the stairs. I chose the 3rd floor, turns out it was a boys floor. It was a bit creepy, very dark not much light and none of the boys bothered to personalize their doors.
None of the doors were open and the floor was very quiet. I have expected there to be music or sounds of TV but all the sounds I could hear was Larissa being nervous "we" would be tagged as "creepy" or "weird" for we a couple of girls wandering the halls. I was a little disappointed for I didn't get to see one single guy except for the one boy we passed on the way down the stairs. I finally gave into Larissa's pleads to leave and we left. Walking back to our rooms she explained her point of view and explained why she was so not into the adventure if you can even call it that? She said she felt like she was in someone's house when they weren't home but all I heard was excuses. Reflecting back on what I said, she could be mad at me for I called her a mouse. In the back of my mind, I thought if I can just push her out of the box a little she could have some fun but instead of being excited she was pretty much a kill joy. Larissa is my best friend here at UNI but I want more than what we have been doing. It's a Friday night and you want to know what exciting things we will be doing....probably in our rooms watching a movie and hanging out talking. Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with that because I like hanging out, talking and watching movies but I want more. I want to go out and meet new people, maybe go out on Main Street or go to a party.
This is my first year at UNI and I don't regret meeting the people I know now, all my gal pals are Awesome, Amazing and Get Me! I have a bunch of Wonderful Friends who I feel close to; Larissa, Emily, Molly, Julia, Emily, Megan and Erin. But I missed out on all the parties in HS and I don't want to miss out on any more exciting adventures in college. There is one big difference between me and my friends and that is I am in a different part of my life, I am a 22 years old and technically a senior and all of them are freshmen and each one of them are still in prime of their partying. So I feel like I need to be doing more in order to achieve my wants. If I want to go to a party I need to find people who are throwing the parties, I will not let myself get passed up again. If I want something I have to go and find it. The question is Where When and How?
So Here I am making a new ripple and getting out there and dancing!
I went to school with Carson and am so sad to hear of his passing. What happened?
