So now I'm at college playing pretend adult and it is freakin' weird.
I spent my first full day in this big little community and now I'll spend my second night. Tonight will be the first time my roommate stays here (it's her third night) so we are still working out all those things that roommates often have to work out. It's going to be a very interesting year.
Today, I flipped my bed upside down with all my friends (thank you!), I went to Pizza House (tried the feta bread, don't worry), watched tv (awkward.) in my friends's dorm mansion, ate spaghetti, and went to Meijer Mania. That was my most hectic and crowded trip to Meijer(s), but at least I got to see my one friend J from orientation for a little! He asked me to join his band then, but I guess the offers off the table now. We entered Meijer(s) to the happy claps and cheers of peppy people from the University.
This brings me to the real topic of this post today. Get ready! It's going to be everything you imagine and maybe a little more: random nothingness that didn't need to be written about, and wasn't written well. Oops. Well anyways...
One thing I have noticed while I am here is that everyone has big smiles on their faces, nice maize and blue clothing, and are very much "party people". I only know a few people who aren't so spirited, and who don't like to party, and I've known half of them since middle school. They never really had spirit. However, now it is shoved in front of us and I guess it's time to act like we care. VCR, C, and I don't really know how to go about doing this, since we really don't care that much (the big blue M staring me in the face when I arrived made me very uncomfortable) (I even brought my state yoga pants) but I guess we'll take a few pointers. My friends at other schools are very into the sequin and jazz hands that go along with being spirited, but it's just not our thing.
Oh well. Comment with any tips on how to be school spirited without having to really do anything or pay for anything.
