Some of My Personal High College "Philosophy"

Once I got to college, I realized that living in one place for so long while in high school got changed my view. I went to a small school with few kids so I more or less knew everyone's childhood. Where anybody else in the world would look at a teenager's face that they don't know and make assumptions based off just that, I would know these kids' childhood and know exactly who they are as a person.

In college, being around a different group of friends for a while, I realize we all have a set of kids we grew up with. Everyone has a sphere of friends, and friends of friends within a geographic region. We all had kids we thought looked cool, and we all had kids in our lives who we thought looked geeky or nerdy, or jocky. I hadn't even realized until now that everyone else had the same archetypes in their minds, but based off different people.

It's just strange to be able to look at my friends from high school from an outsider's view. It all makes sense in my mind. Just something for you all to think about in YOUR lives, Ents. And for what it's worth, I'm at an [8]. :]
