Change

Being a freshmen away from home really opened my eyes to what I missed around me. Starting off at a new school wasn't a problem but as I got used to the area I started feeling depressed. From a city with over a million people of all ethnicity to a mainly Caucasian area. I used to love to visit all my friends in San Jose from all over the city. A positive that I did notice dramatically is that I could where whatever I wanted with out being checked on the streets or being stared at for the colors i'm wearing. Living in San Jose was paradise compared to Turlock. I was close to the hills, ocean, shopping malls, friends/family etc. It started to grow on me, I could no longer go hiking,fishing, mall,friends. It was just work,work,work. I tried to hangout with guys who lived on and off campus and noticed a pattern. everyone I hangout with drank and smoked so much!!!!!!!!!!! There was literally nothing better to do but get high and play video games and finish school work. After awhile of that it left me sick and too the point where I had to sit and talk to my friends ,and talk to them about changing there habits. Although I miss home more than anything Im starting to bring home here. where ever and when ever i have the chance to fish,hike or play sports with friends. I could trap myself off of others bad habits
