Growing Up

The last thing I wrote was quite a downer. Its hard to see your friends go away. I'm also seeing that its a lot harder to meet people now that I'm not in school anymore. In school, people were there all the time, and I did not have to try to meet anyone; it just happened. Now, in the next part of my life, you really do have to go out and meet new people. It's not as simple as going to class, walking around campus, dorms or parties, and meeting a million people through your small group of friends. I don't know if I'll ever find friends as good as the ones I have now, but I hope I will find equivilent or a notch below. My friends, I believe, are pretty high up the food chain to beat. :)

In other news, Dean is in the process of buying a house! Though in some cases he's lucky cause hes getting a little support for it, I am more than excited and thrilled for him! He's one of the first one of my friends to take a stab at owning a home. It's a bit crazy to think actually. I know I am not too far behind. I don't think I have taken living at home for granted at all. I actually do enjoy living at home, and don't worry about it at all. There are some obvious disadvantages, but I think it'll pay off in the end, at least from an investment standpoint. I do like the company whenever I am at home, which isn't as much as it used to. Anyway, I'm excited for Dean.

Which comes to my next point... so many of my co-workers who are my age are the same very people I went to school with and had classes and stayed up all night studying with and in many cases partied and hung out with. It's one of the most opportunistic coincidences that I get to grow up with all of these people from our confused school years to the beginning and maturity of our career life, which is exemplified by today's news of Dean buying a home. Crazy!
