Movies --> Thoughts
Now that I'm done waiting to re-post this (blogger somehow ate my last post and it didn't go through, I suppose that's why I'll use IE for Blogger). Here it is again...albeit a little revised maybe.
So I came from the movies with Angie and Geff (and Lorraine). We all watched The Incredibles. It's a very good movie, that that's not what I'm going to talk about. More rather, I'm going to talk a little about something that I've been noticing going on with the Freshman class of 2008:
People seem to be hooking up left and right...or at least planning to. But there are plenty of couples that have developed over the past weeks. Some of my friends also have been telling me that here has even seemed to be pressure to get a boyfriend/girlfriend this year. Now that I've been told...yes I do feel a little bit of that pressure, not on me, but just...around. It's an awkward feeling. Well, I'm going to feel a little bit of a copy-cat because I'm going to be doing the same thing this week, but he's going to say no, and things will go back to normal with me being by myself, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm used to it by now.
I don't know what the concept of 'dating' is in the class of 2008. But to me it's somewhat of a serious thing. I guess it was just how I was raised. It seems to be such a casual thing for them. Like a piece of clothing to be tried on and discared quickly and without a second thought if not liked.
I'm not sure how many people out there share the same views as me, but that's how I see it.
Well I'm being chased off the computer. Good night to you all.

Well, ok. Here's how I look at it...I think (not positive) some people in our class are only going out with other people (or liking them) because they want a bf/gf. As in, they only like that person because they think that they'd say yes if they were to ask them out. Then, the person they like likes them back, and I think it's only because they want a bf/gf and it would be easiest to get that person since they already like them. I dunno, I might be wrong though. I think that is dumb. People want a bf/gf just to have one, but I look at it a different way. I want a bf, but not just to have one...I want one that I really like and I think things would work out with and everything...some people just seem desperate to just get one. So, I dunno. Our class DOES have a lot of people hooking up, though. You're definitely right about that. There are also some people who just like each other but aren't technically going out. yet. haha, I dunno. And, I bet you know who I'm talking about when I say this, but he did not have to choose between them. He could have chosen anyone in the world, but you notice how he chose one of them, one of the girls that already liked him. I dunno, maybe he does truly like her, but I've never seen them talking very much before...
I dunno. I should stop talking. But I do agree with you with a lot of things in this post.
I totally agree with Karen. But like... for some people it's "just to have one", but for other people it's that the hormones are going absolutely crazy, and they just... like more people this year. It just seems that it would be nice, is all. And this year, everyone's gotten a lot closer..
