huh

the older i get the more i realize the truth behind all those cliches i swore were fallacies when i went through that "i'm so intellectual" phase in college. i mean, i still swear by my intellect on a heartbeat, but have no need to be "an intellectual." college, academia in general, is wonderful yet so unreal. i feel it delays the onset of a certain kind of maturity. perhaps that maturity involves some resignation that life is happening and you have to perform tasks for money to live it when you'd rather be amongst an ensemble of thinking people whose only pressures are getting their ideas in on time and having too many friends.
