Ciao

The end is nearing so fast now that I can almost smell it. I have heard talk from my brothers, uncles even my own dad that college is the best years of your life. You are going to live it up in college like you haven ever. Its true you do. But now that I am nearing the end, I realise I am not going to miss this at all. Not by a long shot.
The reason is a little strange. In my first year here, I was a complete ass. The reason for that was an inappropriately large cultural shock. From a city background up north of the country to come down to the most basic of territories to study among super sensitive people was not exactly my cup of tea. So yes I was a jerk who kept to himself shunned people, maybe even showed some arrogance.
However that didnt last. I worked on myself and brought myself down to earth and began hanging out with people. What I slowly realised was that it didnt matter. Dont get me wrong, I did manage to get some friends, great friends mind you. But I seem to have found so many people whose primary goal in life is to bitch about me. But I must admit this, it doesnt bother me at all anymore.
So these four years, what are the good memories I will have? Well all the public speaking I have done will stand out, my memories with my 'booze gang' will always be there... love those guys... I guess somewhere at the back of my mind I will also remember a failed relationship. Why is that a good memory? Well we may not be on talking terms now, but she was a reason I didnt lose my sanity in this place. God bless her. What else? Basketball I guess, I will definitely remember all the fun this sport has given me. Ill also probably miss a few people here. They all made my life a lot better.
But am I going to cry and say thank you to all and say this college rocks? HELL NO. From the bottom of my heart I hate this college. Always will. All those good memories from that paragraph above do not cancel the bad ones I have of this place. I am honestly glad I am leaving and wish to never be reminded of it.
Yes, you are probably wondering why the anger. I dont blame you. In my life so far I have never hated anything or anyone. Dont mean to start that now. But this college is it. I hate it. I was most miserable when I was here and trust me I am a very fun loving guy.
So bottomline, GOOD RIDDANCE!
