I'm moving away for university. Although I'm extremely excited to be going to a new school where I can make friends and expand my experiences, people that I'm friends with seem to be really unexcited to be going.
It honestly makes no sense to me. I've seen them post, saying "what now?", as though life has now ended because we finished highschool. Maybe I'm being insensitive towards other peoples feelings but I honestly cannot find it in me to be so sad about this. I know that many people don't plan to go to university, but that doesn't mean that the end is here!! We all have to move forward and continue regardless of if we think we are ready or not. The world isn't forgiving and I worry for the people around me without ANY sort of plan. I mostly just want them to be alright...
I know it is a quite privileged perspective to have as many of my friends don't have the familial support or supervision that would give them a good chance to succed in life, but I've seen how allowing myself to be around them has brought my motivation and mental health down. I pray they find a drive in whatever they end up doing after out final exams... Though I worry for a few in particular.
Regardless, I'm happy to meet more like-minded people. My biggest hope is to find a kindred spirit of sorts. I may have friends now, but they don't have the same drive in life that I have, and although I will love and care for them forever, being around people who are sinking may make me motionless.
