Hey, all!
So. You've all seen the movies. At one point, who you were and what you did depended entirely on what "social clique" you were put into. That labeling was often times unfair, random, aggravating, and just plain annoying.
But, when that was the norm, no one ever argued the "status quo," and most people just went along with whatever the social scene was.
But now you're in college, and with that, comes the removal of social boundaries and the concept of everyone being their own person. Sure, there are still those guys and girls that everyone wants to either be, or be on, and there are the super smart brainy people, and the jocks, the artists, and everything in between. Only in college, they're not defined by where you sit at lunch, everyone is broken up by their majors.
But our cozy major designated buildings don't separate us forever. When the time comes to attend any sort of college event, eat anywhere on campus, or interact in any social manner what so ever, everyone is kind of thrown together and no one ever knows for sure "where they belong."
And you know what? That's okay. Because in college, even though we all have our respective majors, we all also share interests, goals, and hobbies. A music major could be vastly interested in aeronautics, and a bio-chem major could want to work with little kids. In college, we have no set boundaries on who were are supposed to be.
So how do we find our place? How do we find out place in a world where there are no molds to fit into, where there are no status quo rules to follow? What do we do?
Well, we experiment. We try new things. We go out of our comfort zone and try to find the balance between things that we are extremely comfortable doing, and things that give us extreme anxiety.
Finding our place in college does not mean finding a group of friends who all share the same major, taste in music, and liking for food. Finding your place in college means coming to terms with that you may get along with people who are vastly different from you. Finding your place in college means that you can be part of more than one group, and defy more than one rule that tied you down in high school.
