The only source of unhappiness in my life right now(rare serious thread)

Is that I don't live on my own and go to school at a big University

Right now I'm living with my parents and go to school at the state college in our same town. It's cool to have everything paid for and the comfortable living environment that I'm so used to, also get to spend time with my family and majority of my closest riends are here too, but I want so much more man.

 I want the entire college experience. I want to live in the dorms. Have to do all of my own shopping/cooking/cleaning/bill paying/responsibilities ect. I want to be surrounded by young adults my age going through similar struggles. I want the freedom that comes with living on your own, and the fun environment that big universities provide

I have been to and stayed the night at a lot of colleges in California. Usually I stay for 3 days 2 nights, and every time I come back home I feel a little down. No brag(srs) but my personality flourishes so well in universities, I feel right at home surrounded by all of the new friends I'm making. They invite me to join clubs or ask if I'm looking for work and that they'll hook me up with a job ect , and then I have to tell them I'm not from there and they get disappointed.

The thing that sparked this right now is that I drove to a different college library to study because I like the library at this one, and walking back to my car I got invited to join a club that was having a meeting right there(it looked fun as fuck) and seeing all these people in their dorms just enjoying their freedom. I want that

Sorry for the blog, the adderall makes me want to write lol. How many of your guys who go to school live on campus? Do you enjoy it? Tell me About it

I did for my freshman year, now I'm in an apartment with a friend.

Dorms are overrated tbh

I've always mulled over whether or not I'd enjoy it. If I had my own subjects to take and learn, freedom, all that yada yada. I think I might. But everything comes with downsides.

I'm not a fan of cities. They're a lot like snowglobes. Nice to look at from the perspective of a detached outsider. You go into them with a small sum of money, and you're free to do what you want. Spend some time there, enjoy the new sights and stuff, and then go back home.

But to live inside of that snowglobe, forcefully stuck behind the glass of the globe and intergrated into the city's pattern? I wouldn't enjoy it. I could do it if I set my mind to it. But I wouldn't enjoy it.

Likely, even if I was a student at one of the universities. This is only pushed further along by the answer I get when I ask myself, "What would I study?"

I don't know. And therefore, the venture isn't worth it if I don't have a destination in mind.

But I still wonder, sometimes.

They usually cost more, at least from what I've heard.

I went away to college and lived in a dorm and got super homesick. College life wasn't what I thought it would be. I was fortunate and got a really nice dorm and had really cool roommates but I still didn't like it. I could have lived with one of my friends that goes there in a house but ended up turning him down and transferring and looking back, I'm glad I did.

I'm currently living with my parents and driving to my college. My brother's trying to get me to move into the house next to his college's housing area, where I'll have a shorter drive to my college, but it doesn't seem appealing whatsoever to me. I've visited his house and I know I'd hate it. I would like to move out into an apartment closer to my college if I could get some cool roommates and be away from the college atmosphere but the option isn't really available to me.

This is literally me.

I am literally you right now Jive. How does that feel?

I made a lot of money relatively speaking when I did it, and had some pretty nice connections laid out in front of me.

Albeit I had someone helping me out a lot as well as wasn't just on my own exactly.

not in dorms yet until fall this year, but i have a chance on getting a dorm with some friends i have. it seems fun, especially since we'll play games all night and stuff.

Your snow globe analogy is very thought provoking... Huh, I've literally never thought of it like that
