This is my second post regarding my fall semester for 2019. I am now halfway done with junior year and then one more year. I have certainly made a lot of friends through my three years at UF. My friends vary from the groups of which I categorize them into. I like to have sport friends, going out friends, studying friends, and fishing friends. Although I have groups of friends, some of my friends do fit into multiple groups. For this semester, I was able to add a few meaningful friends into some groups. I made friend with a dude name Noah who joined my flag football team. Noah wants to take over his dad's construction company one day and he has a passion for fishing as well. I also met a beautiful girl name Rayzel. We matched on tinder. We committed in a relationship after a month of getting to know each other. In the beginning, the relationship was doing well. We went on dates and got to know about each other. However, I always noticed she never opened up more about her life or asked me questions about my life back. I always felt like I had to always keep the conversation going. I never had the courage to bring it up early because I thought it was gonna fix itself out. However that shit did not. I was miserable, so I looked up the compatibility between 2 capricorns. According to an online site, the relationship between two capricorns isn't ideal. In fact only 62% of compatibility! That's wack yo.
So I showed Rayzel my findings online and had a thorough discussion with her; we decided to be completely honest with each other if we didn't see any longevity as we kept dating to work it out. After 2 weeks of having this talk, I came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work out and broke up with her. It was extremely hard for me because I truly care for her. Given the circumstances, I was glad we are still friends and not hate each other. I never want to hurt any of my ex. She did learn a lot about me that most of my friends would never get to know.
Besides from a romantic relationships, I filled my free time with professional clubs and going to sign nights. I still dedicate my time with MEDLIFE, Global Business Brigades, Take Stock in Children and Special Olympics. These 4 clubs are the core foundations of my friend making and growth outlets. Not gonna lie, there were times when I really struggled with keeping up with time commitments between the four clubs. It got so bad that I had to drop MEDLIFE going into spring semester. I felt like I was hurting MEDLIFE due to my lack of involvement, so I had to make the best move for both by dropping it.
On weekends, I would get invited to parties and sign nights because all of my younger friends finally turned 21. How a sign night work is that when a someone turns 21, his or her friends throw a huge banger with a sign created of 21 tasks to do. These tasks can be quite explicit and troublesome like signing 21 people on their breasts or get 21 selfies with strangers. The lists can be very creative. Also, the whole point is to get the birthday person super wasted! College is crazy bro...
