who am i? in short, i’m me.

i try not to subscribe to the many stereotypes that society forces onto our generation. to define myself by these vague outlines of interest would be missing the mark entirely. what i can say is that i love skateboarding. there’s a freedom that comes with riding as fast as you can past pedestrians and cars, and there aren’t many feelings quite like when you get a trick that you spent hours working on. i also write music. it’s not the best, but i make it to express myself, not to impress anyone. i’m always down to meet people and if it seems like i’m being cold i probably just have too much on my mind. i guess i’m pretty shy until i find a common interest to talk about with someone.

i may not be the coolest guy ever but at least i’m real.

i’d say my top concern is keeping up with the work. although it seems easy now, i can’t help but feel like it’s going to get steadily harder. second on my list is meeting friends, but that hasn’t been hard yet and i doubt it will get harder. my third concern is that i might be missing out on “the college experience”. a lot of my friends who went away to college have been telling me stories about parties and college life, and to be honest, my life hasn’t changed much from highschool. when i look at the big picture, however, it doesn’t bother me much at all.

what makes my college experience most different from highschool is the fact that there are girls in all of my classes. i think most people take the fact that the opposite gender is around for granted. highschool sucked in that way. another huge difference is the fact that i can get whatever i want for lunch and eat whenever i want. there’s a lot more emphasis on doing what you want or need to do when you want to do it. time management, man.

i hope that my first year in college changes me by giving my life more order. this summer i basically just drifted around, and it’s good to have priorities again. i forgot what it was like to have a definite sleep schedule.

yeah that’s it.
