Flashback: UCSD Sophomore Year Spring Quarter 2010

It was now Spring Quarter, and this was the one quarter my mood became steering in the right direction. No longer restricted by an inability to chase girls, I attempted my best to chase a girl in England (K.J), and at the same time chase a popular flaky girl in Revelle (V.B.). Because I split my time in between liking both of them though, I was never too attached to a point that quarter in being too depressed over them. Instead of relying primarily on girls for happiness, I focused on keeping myself busy for the most part to distract myself from my neediness.

Subsequently, I kept being involved in PAW and ICRA events, while at the same time hanging out with people as I saw fit. As much as I didn’t know it at the time, my apartmentmates and my PAWmates helped to keep me happy, because we had a ton of fun joking around (Boat Pull, ATP, etc.) We had fun times eating, working out, chilling, playing boardgames, watching movies, and most of all having fun. I placed myself in less situations where I could potentially get hurt from rejection, but instead just focused on having casual, fun relationships with my friends. By this point, the floor family was dead as far as I knew it.

Still, drama ensued in the form of my apartment. Me & Torres had a few fights that quarter over Chou. I knew ultimately it came back to being my fault, and I knew I couldn’t live with either of them next year because of it. Eventually, me and Amul made an agreement to be roommates next year. I decided to stay on campus again being the ICRA VP for Warren, and also would room with Steven and Kunal. I figured after living with roughly the same people for two years, it was now time for a change. They seemed to have gotten their apartment plans in order anyway, and I didn’t want to disrupt that process for them.

I love my apartment-mates and all and we had a ton of exciting memories together, but it was now time for more adventures with new friends. The Wild Animal Park, the Rezzies, SUNGOD,  and other events shared with my PAW friends and ICRA friends helped reestablish the value I knew I had for living. No longer focused primarily on chasing girls, I figured the chase for new friends was an ambitious yet exciting one, and the life lessons learned from Sophomore Year would be carried over to Junior Year.
