Cycles...

Is anyone else here like me and go through SA cycles?

Summer is almost over and I'll be going back to school on Sept. 7th. I'm very excited. Why? Because I get to start over fresh. New classes, new people, new teachers, new homework...etc. I get super pumped up and set high expectations for myself. I end up going to college (this happens every year) like a social butterfly. I talk to the teachers, make my presence known, introduce myself to everyone, answer questions in class, walk through the halls with my head held high and act like I own the place. Then after a week or so I start to slip. I stop talking to all but one or two people (if that) in my classes and even try to avoid some of them.

Slowly but surely everything I hoped to achieve at the start of the school year goes out the window and I spend the rest of the time waiting for summer to save me. Then summer comes around and the same thing happens. I have dreams of going on vacation, meeting a bunch of interesting people, possibly meeting a really cute guy while hiking...etc. Of course, doesn't end up happening. I end up ignoring all the potentially interesting people I see because it's just easier and less stressful to be alone with my one or two friends that I feel comfortable with.

But yeah...Basically I'm a social butterfly for two or 3 weeks out of the entire year and then a social outcast for the rest! Any of you the same way?
