College really is the place to explore boundaries.
You'll have to come visit Austin someday. Things around here seem calm by comparison.
It's pretty quiet here at Texas A&M, in fact, it gets boring sometimes (but that's just me being lazy in not paying attention to events). I just know that on Sundays, it's like a wasteland since people probably go home or are so drunk from Saturday to even wake up until later afternoon lol.
The people are cool here at A&M, very friendly, it's just that those occasions of listening to silly heads might make it seem that the whole University is like that. I bet Austin is more relaxed, but I probably won't be going there for a long time. I'll probably go back and forth with College Station and Houston during long breaks.
And I'm worried that I should've went to the formal meeting on summer internship. The guy who called me about it wanted to make it look like it was difficult to get a position in it because of the "hundreds of thousands of 'people' " apply for it. I thought it would just be a crappy opportunity, but I'm starting to regret it because my father talked to me about finding a part time job when I'm taking a break from college (it's like he wants me to be doing something....I don't know what's wrong with him, he needs to just chill and let me focus on school work).
And honestly, this bullshit ignorance he has that thinking that going for these small jobs will help with my loans is crazy. It's like he thinks that once I get a degree, that I'm going to fall that bullshit jungle hunt for jobs. Screw that, I want to go to graduate school to get more training, because a person who majored in Biotechnology told me that lower wage jobs do not really provide enough reliability in actually making a good career overall.
I don't mean to insult those that are having a hard time finding jobs or anything, and I apologize if I do, it's just that if parents want their child to do well, it would be logical to gain some knowledge of that the inevitable competition for job hunting is just going to make the situation even WORSE...when I can be getting more hands-on experience and competence for big companies?
Does he not see that trying to pay everything off too quickly before they make a huge impact isn't really going to make a huge impact when I could be going for a PhD, to at least give myself an edge despite that other people may have the same competence as me? At least I'll be at a higher priority for ACTUAL careers rather than wasting 4 fucking years memorizing useless crap to just end up having a low wage job for most of my life (and don't get me wrong, I know some people have to work low to get their way up)...but if you know the right people, and know how to apply their usefulness in pushing you forward, there is NO FUCKING NEED FOR ME TO jump on the bandwagon of
"Oh, even though I have a degree that should validate that I should earn more income, I should settle for less and not use my brain, and end up regretting not paying attention to how people in the universities can help elevate you" type of mentality.
And because this university is pretty huge, and so many departments, how could anyone want to settle for that politically correct bandwagon of settling for less after they get a bachelor's degree when they can just take the time to just look for opportunities and work experience RELATED to their degree that can impress prominent companies rather than working for retail stores?
The guy who majored in Biotechnology is making big income because he told me that no matter what people tell you of how hard a course is in college, that as long as you work hard and ignore those fears of it being difficult, you will do well. And he's a friend of my father....HELLO?!?!?! That's a person that can help me elevate myself in the more challenging workforce rather than settling for less
Which makes me speculate to myself...am I really ready to become that serious in finding more and more assets to help me elevate? Am I really up for making huge sacrifices of being able to shift through many parts of myself to master several abilities needed to gain the career I want without going through the painful competition for lower wage jobs?
The more I speculate about this, the more I'm tempted to use lucid dreaming as a problem solving medium. It feels silly, but just makes me believe more in Dream Guides and beyond, but when I see other people doubt this potentially vital boost in competence, it makes me wonder if I'm just too crazy to use dreams as an aid to shift to the right direction...or if I'm actually on the right mindset with this to eradicating this belief COMPLETELY that lucid dreaming is just experiences gathered consciously and unconsciously into one big virtual reality.
Am I being too ambitious in relying lucid dreaming for that? Is it because I'm afraid that I could be setting myself up for more confusion if I keep trying to stress my mind to help me out here? Damn it lol.
I wish the people I interact with in real life would understand this more, but nooooooooooo PARTY it up you assholes, I just can't relate to them! They just keep bragging over who fought who, how a relationship is going with one person, and when they're being challenged, they're suddenly surprised and call the University they're in "gay" or "stupid" or "not fair."
Do you see what I mean? This is why I can't relate to others in real life, I can into topics that can make you successful, but they just want to talk about movies, books, etc., BORING stuff that is AMAZING to them. While what I find amazing is boring to them.
This is another reason why I'm afraid to have a girlfriend just for experience, because I'll constantly want to focus on academics rather than their well-being. Sure you can say you can balance things out and still come out good, but really, do you honestly believe that if a lot of people accepted this ideal, don't you think that they would all be successful instead of struggling to find a career?
It's obviously people do not know true sacrifice, just having few friends isn't enough, people just don't indulge into the true pain of sacrificing more and more to get what they want. It's like they're so afraid that whatever makes their day everyday might fade away, and they obviously are too afraid to experience a pain that can actually make them stronger and independent. Why can't people understand that going through the pain for a few years is worth it when you get something that would boost financial stability exponentially...and I being ignorant? Or am I the only one out of all these normal "friends" I've met that really wants to go through those sacrifices...
I just can't relate to others...I can easily relate to the social side of things and all that humanistic bullshit that's easy learn, but that's the thing, it's easy to interact with others because we're naturally gregarious, no? I know that sounds ironic since I claim I'm socially inept, but I don't think that you have to be a popular to know social competence, that should be a natural thing, it's just the belief that we're not is what's holding us back.
So if one believes that they have natural social capability, why not indulge yourself into matters that not many people are interested in that can help distinguish yourself from the rest? Is just me saying nonsense, or am I actually making a point here. (Sorry talking to myself to see how certain thoughts will try to answer this rationalization of mine)
I apologize if this venting made anyone mad, it's just something I feel that those in college/universities should think about. How are you going to make yourself valuable compared to others just as valuable as you? Does anyone ever think about this in the University I go to? It seems they're just so....so....STUPID!!!! 
Rant/vent over.
Time to move along. (also Melanieb, I was talking to myself just now, so sorry if it seemed directed to you again). I find this crazy talk to myself is somewhat helping measure what's really important to me).
