What's The Difference?

There is none.

What's The Difference?

Recently, I have figured out that I am very different than most people. I was not popular in high school and I was not that one person who gets all the girls or get scholarships. Did I shoot for these things? No. I was that guy who sat in the back of class and did not really talk to anyone. I did play sports but I was not that guy who dated every girl who came my way. I am not a republican nor democrat. I am the type of person who would rather just be on the outside looking in. I am the one who would rather use his head for creativity rather than reasoning. Music rather than science. I'm not that one person to pick religion. I am the person who would rather be optimistic, but I am depressed when I'm around others.

Everything in my life has been the opposite of many people. Even with my love life. Everyone wants a cheerleader or dancer. But I want a simple love life. My simple little life is the literal opposite of most people. I have always been intrigued by metal music, skeletons, and anything dark but also I am intrigued by bright colors and sitting in a place where everything is calm and I can relax. I would rather start a band than become an athlete in the NFL, NBA, or NHL. I would rather become good at playing the guitar rather than good at playing sports. I would rather have hundreds of thousands of instruments rather than hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have always been the one who never thought logically, but instead both musically and creatively.

Everyone does something else, and I do something different. Is that weird? I do not think so. I think in my own right I am amazing. Everyone has their own definition of being cool, popular or normal. Mine just so happens to be different than everyone else's definition. I'm that kid who just wants to have fun, but will have fun on his own terms. That does not mean I am a rebel, threat to everyone, or some guy who disobeys everything and just does things his way. I am an outcast but so what? Everyone is weird and everyone is cool, so the big question is very simple. Why am I so different?

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
