One day we're watching three movies in a row and eating a box of cookies and laughing like crazy fools and the next day we're all sitting in our own rooms studying like serious students and looking up scholarships and texting each other about finding an apartment for next year and what classes we're taking next quarter. College is like nothing else. You live with your friends and study with your friends and eat with your friends and go out with your friends and pretty soon you're closer to them than you are with people you've known for five years. Somehow you usually don't want to strangle them.
We're all together, but we're all by ourselves, too. I have to be in charge of all my own stuff now. If I can't figure it all out and get my own shit together then I end up fucked. Luckily, I am pretty good at keeping my shit together. I'm an obsessive list-maker, and an obsessive over-planner. Both of those qualities make it easy-ish for me to stay on top of things. Let's see how far they get me.
