I went to bed last night, and woke up this morning with the same feeling. I miss Utah so much. I miss waking up to the mountains in my back yard. I miss the seclusion of the place. I miss the people who can actually walk by and say hello. I miss the non materialistic lifestyle that consumes the people here at Tampa. I can't stand it. I know its not everyone here, but a large majority. Last night I was standing outside my dorm, knocking on the door. There were two girls sitting there about three feet from the door, and they wouldn't look at me or move to open it. I was so frustrated I wanted to cry, about my entire experience here. I miss my friends so much. Some days I am depressed, and upset about how I ended up here.I tell myself that everything happens for a reason. I try to remind myself of why I transferred here, and why I moved my life half way across the country, because of what happened to me just one night under the dark skyline of salt lake city. This isn't a bad place by all means academically this is the best experience I have ever had! Socially I feel alone. I have a lot of friends here, but some days it just doesn't feel real here. I was so mad when those girls didn't open the door for me I called my mom and told her how upset it made me that people can be so rude. I don't care how much money you have, where you are from, or what color your skin is. No matter what everyone deserves respect. You won't get very far in life, if you can't even look at the person standing next to you in the elevator.
