I don’t know why, but I feel really out of place being a 24 year old student. This is my last year at school, so I’m trying to make the most of it by putting myself into social situations. Well, there was a student event this evening, and I decided to pop in and see what was all the fuss.
The event was real busy, people everywhere, and it put me on edge really bad. I just felt so vulnerable and exposed. I tried to sit down and eat some food, but I was by myself and felt like I stood out like a sore thumb.
I’m glad I went and got a taste, but it was also kind of discouraging. I don’t really have friends there at the school, but the people there didn’t seem like my kind of crowd. Most of them are fresh out of high school kids, and I’m almost half way through my 20s, it just feels awkward…
