One of the perks of being out of school is not worrying about or trying to fit in. I’ve always been friendly to
and generally well liked by most school cliques I interacted with because I’m a
relatively neutral personality, but I enjoy the adulthood freedom of electing to
spend my free time however and with whomever I wish. It is from that
independence that I, or anyone, can truly explore themselves as individuals.
This disinclination probably stems from my undergraduate
experience at U.Va. Although my college experience shaped me more than any
other time period in my young adult life, U.Va students face significant pressure to attain a certain social
status; it’s part of that U.Va elitist culture, as horrible as that might
sound. It feels good to be past that and take myself less seriously. Or maybe it’s because I’m growing up and
becoming more comfortable in my own skin.
