This summer sucked after leaving West Virginia University. I didn't mind home until I realized that it really sucks. But I worked and was able to have fun with my paychecks. Had the house to myself for the most part because it was just my mom and me. Most of you who don't personally know me think I am still at WVU. Sometime during Christmas break I decided I was going to leave WVU and go to West Liberty State College after the summer break. I got a job with the Sports Information office there doing some website work and other stuff. I didn't want to leave WVU but I couldn't afford it and the lifestyle. I would probably never get a degree. WLSC is cheaper and the classroom environment is just like a high school one. A complete 180 from WVU.
I moved into my 80% off dorm at West Liberty on Sunday night. All my classes have 35 or less people, teachers give points on attendence, there are actual assignments/homework given for points, and in two of my classes we have already gotten into groups to do shit. I will do so much better educationally here. But I hate everything else about the place. I might fail history again, too. I don't know what it is. I need to learn how to read 300 years of time a day.
Reasons why I hate this place:
1. My cell phone doesn't get reception.
2. Dorm room door auto-closes.
3. My dorm makes you swipe your ID to open front doors, then again 15 feet from the front door to get to stairs/elevator. No visitors.
4. A LOT of people commute, and the place dies down after 2PM.
5. My dorm is coed but by floor. I never have any reason in the world to go down a floor and say hi to girls I have never said a word to.
6. You only hear of any type of party on Thursday nights. And that seems to require a 25 minute walk. People get excited over a kegger with double digit people. Cops usually bust the parties.
7. Friday after class 3/4th of the people go home for the weekend.
8. Only place to get beer is at a grocery store 2 miles up the road.
9. No bars, no clubs.
10. Dry campus.
And it isn't that I am an alcoholic and hate life and everything about it if I am not wasted. We drank two nights there and it sucked. You get drunk, then sit around because there is nothing to do but watch TV and eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. I am too social of a person to live like this. I need people. I like people who don't suck at existing. I just feel trapped. It sucks. I like waking up and going to class and then work because only other thing I do is sit in my room and listen to music. My shitty hard drive is about full, too.
I came home for the weekend because my roommate was and I don't think I am ready for a weekend up there yet. I might jump out of my 5th floor window with a smile on my face. So I unlock MY front door and hear a female voice from the living room ask, "Who is that?". I say, "Me". She then says, "Who is in my house?" as I walk into the living room to show myself she says, "Are you going to be home every weekend?". After a week what used to be my home isn't anymore. I don't even feel welcome. They run shit now.
Things that have changed in a week:
1. The remote is always greasy with hair juice I guess.I went to the bookstore to buy books on Thursday. It was $562.90 for my books. I charged it to my $800 limit student credit card. I have like $200 in my checking from work that I need to use to live. I called my mom and asked if she could help me out at all since she has a husband with an income better than hers. She said she will throw $10 here and there whenever she can. While they are paying $25 a week to send the daughter to cheerleading camp and also have to pay for her to attend high school. Cool, man.
2. Air conditioner on 60 degrees.
3. Mom cooks dinner.
4. Fridge(not freezer) full of real food.
5. 2% milk in fridge(mom used to buy skim because she knew I hate it and love 2%).
6. Basement like a sweet apartment for new son.
7. My brothers room is now a girls room. He plans on never coming home because it isn't our home anymore.
8. If I failed to mention it my mom got married and he has two kids. One dude 19 and one girl who is a senior in high school this year.
No camera still. No word where it is. It is lost forever. No money or even credit card space for a new one.
Money is everything. Whoever said that bullshit that it isn't sucks at everything. If we had it life would be so much different. Thank you to all homosexuals who marry girls with no college degree and become fathers then leave their family. Greatest idea ever!
Hey dad, my real dad, I don't think I ever officially thanked you for ruining my life. Thanks again!
