I've always been fascinated by Venetian masks. It's so mysterious that people used to wear those to go out for secret meetings and disguise their true identity. Isn't it true that we all want to be someone different sometimes, or perhaps we're act differently because we're just being the person we're afraid to be. Those are the nights you always remember.
It's weird, but I don't know if I'm really getting old, but I'm slightly bored with partying now. I can't believe I would ever say that. I still like parties, obviously not old enough to not enjoy them, but I just don't like them quite as much as I did before. I mean, I do have fun. We always have a great time, but sometimes I do think it's kind of repetitive and pointless. I don't feel like I gain anything after a crazy night of partying, ok well, except the awesome memories, but that's not entirely true either because everything just ends up being a blur. Not trying to sound like a nerd, but as much as I complain about papers and school work, at least by the end of it, I DO gain something. I'm not even talking about grades right now. I mean at least I learn something. I gain something. That being said, I do believe we need those nights to just let loose and have fun and do things for no reason at all. Just not all the time.
Another thing about parties is that I only like going with a group of friends now. It's not fun with three people. And no, don't expect to actually meet people there. Dance, maybe, but probably not going to meet your bff there. At the end of the day, I prefer meeting people in a normal way, in a normal setting and actually getting to know people. You kinda avoid those awkward situations where after an entire night, you go, "oh hey, what was your name again?" Not exactly an ideal way to start any kind of relationship. And I have to admit, I'd really rather look back and remember an intelligent conversation I had with an interesting person, than some random person I danced with at a frat party. Having gone through first year, what I treasure more than anything now is the relationships I have with people. I've lost and I've gained, but I know who I value in my life now. I've learnt that friendship isn't based on how similar you are with someone. Sometimes, that does matter, but I've realized that even if someone has changed, you can still accept the differences and love them the same.
