<p>Well, you and I and are clearly polar opposites, despite the fact that we both live at home. I’ve lived in the same room for all 20 years of my life. I don’t have much in the way of responsibilities at home. I don’t work. I only have three hours of classes, five days a week. I feel trapped in a perpetual adolescence, although I admit I am mostly to blame. I definitely feel that the comforts of home are not helping, though. I don’t NEED to work, and don’t even bother looking these days with the economic situation. Deep down I want to be on my own, making a living, and earning my keep. As a student, I feel undeserving and spoiled; a leach on society and my father. </p>
<p>College(at least the last two years I’ve been at Community College) feels like a prolonged pit stop that’s not very gratifying on its own. Living at home and going to Community College doesn’t help. I like the curriculum, but socially, there’s nothing here. There’s no experience to be found. I feel like a child at 20. It still feels a bit like high school, without the cliques. Maybe when I transfer and live on my own my outlook will improve. I can only hope.</p>
