I've spent most of the last four years of my life in State College, but that time is coming to an end. I went back home for a few months after I graduated, but I've spent the last month and a half in State College as a non-college person, so the experience compared to when I was in school was a bit different. I'd like to say that I've enjoyed this town, and going to school here, I know there's a lot of people here who could say that, but I just can't.
The problem is that State College has a ton to do, a lot to see, and all sorts of people to talk to. It's perfect if you're the sort of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone, who can find a friend anywhere you go, but I'm just not that sort of person. It doesn't help that I never really felt connected with my peers, and there's a very good reason for it. I didn't connect with them because I'm not connected in general. I don't spend the day with a phone glued to my hand, I don't know what social media site is in fashion because I just don't care. Also, I don't really care about sports, and up here, sports is a big deal. I like a quiet bar, but finding a quiet bar in State College is not easy, because so many of them have loud music going, or have a band, and I don't want to listen to either of them. Well, unless it was my friends band, but they're the exception. I really do have to review their album at some point here, I'm writing down now, it'll have to be done now.
Anyway, I don't want to get down on State College, I think it's a really good town. It just wasn't for me. I could have dealt with it if there had been an affordable nine-hole golf course in town where I could have spent a couple of hours by myself. I think I would have had a much better time if I had played golf regularly, living here made me realize that golf is something that I need in my life, it really does make me much happier.
