Trying to not be antipathetic to change. That was a double negative.

I know I'm a terrible person-- it's after midnight and I'm completing this post.  But hey, it's still yesterday on the west coast, if you think about it.

antipathetic

\ an-ti-puh-THET-ik \  , adjective;

1. Opposed, averse, or contrary; having or showing antipathy: They were antipathetic to many of the proposed changes .

2. Causing or likely to cause antipathy: The new management was antipathetic to all of us . 

 

When I first read this definition, I was a bit perplexed as to how I was going to use it.  It's literally anti+pathetic.  I didn't manage to use it in conversation today, but it does somewhat relate to an event (or lack thereof) in my life.  

 

I am a self declared creature of habit.  I wake up, go to class, come home, chill, do homework, chill some more.  And the weekends are no better, I wake up at 11 and figure out the day after that.  Oftentimes I'm so bored I actually do homework on Saturdays.  Since the end of last semester, I've wanted things to change.  I want to get out, see things, meet people, and become a part of something.  

 

That's kind of hard to do when you're inside watching reruns of Doctor Who on Netflix.  But I've decided that I need to stop being antipathetic to change.  I need to take control of my social and academic life in a way that makes me thrive in all sorts of ways as a person.  College is the perfect place to figure out who I am going to be  want to become, and more importantly, how I'm going to achieve it.
