[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot to be said for getting to be a new person when you start college.  I was a wallflower in HS, but went to an out of state private for college and was super social, becoming student body president and the graduation speaker.  Sometimes kids don't grow up to be the same person that thry were at 5, 10, 13 or even 16 yo.  I know not everyone makes this sort of leap, but it does happen.[/quote]

I'm the PP who ended up at the local LAC. Yeah, I could've really used this and regret that I didn't learn those social skills to help me in my later years.[/quote]
I don't think being at the close LAC prevented you from learning these social skills. Like I said up thread, wherever you go, there you are.[/quote]

Oh yes, you're right. How did any of us on here not realize you are the oracle?

People who paint life in such broad swaths miss out on nuance. For me, I didn't necessarily grasp what was happening in the moment. I did feel hindered by my perceptions of what my HS, now college, classmates would think of me if I stepped out in new and different ways. And it was complicated because I felt terribly lucky to even be in college, a first gen kid, so that was an additional burden I carried as I made my way through school. Grad school for me was probably like what many experience for college, but that came later in life.

You're making sarcastic comments about "not realizing", and then state how you "didn't necessarily grasp what was happening in the moment".

You seem rather clueless about yourself still.[/quote]
