Today I went with my roommate, Anisa, to La Jolla (one of my new fave spots in which I would like to live) and helped her work on a fast food slideshow for school. Then we went to pick up her twin sisters, picked up a footlong from Subway, and headed to the Oceanside Pier. We attempted to take some quick portraits (which I will retouch later,) and then came home for a quick nap. We are supposed to go out to club Below tonight cuz we're on the guest list, but not sure if we'll make it.
While getting ready for my quick nap, I got a phone call from a far away friend, Nicole/Brijette (depending on where you met her) and found out that she just got engaged! It's the first time a real friend has gotten engaged so it's kind of a big deal. Then she gave me the update on all of our other pregnant and or married friends from high school.
After I got to thinking, I kinda felt like the odd one out. I'm one of the very few who graduated from college with a bachelor's degree, is still living away from home, and trying to make it on my own. I have a great group of friends from back home and college, but not too many down here in SD. I'm still looking for a decent job, and very far away from getting engaged or having kids. It just makes me wonder if I'll be that one friend who never moves back home and falls into the normal "life after college" routine with all your old friends, job, and significant other. I'm already different enough from everyone up there for going to an art school but I don't mind. I'm just happy to have followed my dreams and have gotten so much support from my friends and family to do so.
I'm still young, with a lot of imagination and determination. Everything happens for a reason and things seem to slowly be fitting into place. The impatient part of me just wishes things would move a little bit faster. Other than that, I can't really complain.
