So I've decided to finally make a post

It's been a while since I've posted anything, and I'm bored out of my mind.... The stupid dining center doesn't open until 10:30 Friday-Sunday, and Conor, my roommate, doesn't like to get up before noon, so I'm sitting on my computer, trying to find something to do, and I've realized that I've run out of entertaining things to do online... I know, it's amazing that in all the infinite wonder of the internet that I can't find anything to do. Well, it's kinda hard to find entertaining stuff when I don't wanna have anything with sound going, cause I don't wanna wake up Conor... I know, I'm too damn nice.

Anyway... I've decided to rant a little bit about something that irritates me... People complaining about not seeing their significant other. Now, I'm not talking about people that are in situations similar to my own (Having to go several MONTHS seeing only pictures of the other person). I'm talking about the people that only have to go a few days, or, heaven forbid, a week without seeing the person. I'm sick of it, to be completely honest. Yes, I can understand where they're coming from. I hated it when there was more than a few hours between me seeing Anna, and I bordered depressed when it was more than a day... But I never complained about it. Hell, I barely complain about having to go THREE MONTHS without seeing her... Sure, I talk to her on the phone almost every day (Now that I've pulled my head out of my ass and remembered that I can't stand not hearing her voice as often as possible), but I would definitely prefer it if I was actually with her. So, back to the rant... Those of you who bitch an moan about a period between a day and a week, STFU. You're probably less than a 30 minute drive away from your significant other. If you were so inclined, you could get in your car and go see them whenever the hell you want. Sure, it might be the middle of the night, but the fact remains. You could sneak out of your house, go to theirs, spend 3-4 hours with them, and still get home before the sun is up. For me, it's an 8-1/2 hour drive, one way. I have to plan an entire weekend and spend a shit-ton of money in order to spend one, maybe two, days back home. Let's face it people, I go to Johnson & Wales University. I don't have that kind of money just sitting around. Sure, some of the people here do, but unlike them, I come from a middle-class household and can't exactly have "mommy and daddy" just give me the money I would need to go home.

This brings me to another rant... I was told during orientation that just being a student here would get my foot in at a lot of restaurants around town. That's just a straight up lie. I put in God knows how many applications, and I haven't heard ANYTHING from ANYBODY. I was hoping to have a job down here so I could tell my mom that I didn't need her to give me any money while I'm down here, but that didn't fucking happen, so I have to rely on her to support me, which makes me feel like a useless piece of shit. I can't stand it when people give me money. I like to earn it myself. Shit, I even hate it when people give me money for my birthday or Christmas, even though it's what I ask for (because there are actually very few things that I want).

Anyway... I think that's enough for now... I feel a little better... I guess...
