The more I have been at college, the more I have realized just how comfortable I was in my home life. I had never experienced anything radically new.
Trying the new dish at Panda Express was an earthquake in my day.
All this to say, I was pretty stinking sheltered.
Now that I'm in college (*hint: read with snooty tone) I have branched out a little. A very small amount. It's not that I'm being smacked in the face with mohawks and radical feminism or whatever else. It's more being in campus where those things are present and realizing that I didn't grow up like everyone else.
I don't really have a specific example. It's more of a slow burn of realizing that there's a big world out there and sitting around in a house in suburbia did not open that up. It was my bad, I don't blame anyone for it. So now, I will work to do more to open my eyes. That's it for tonight.
