Second Guesses?

Preemptive, but I'm wondering if I made a mistake in coming back to res. I don't really have much to say. It's not like I'm generations older, but the age gap and difference in maturity level is really evident. I normally would chalk things up to being a difference in personality; but this time around, I just really don't find a lot of the things that these people do funny or interesting in the least - some of it even repulsive.

Or maybe it's true: I've matured.

I think the main thing for when I first moved into res was that I knew it was going to be good for me to get the exposure to getting used to living with different types of people. At that point in my life, it was necessary, so I was able to at least mentally prepare myself and be up for it.

This time around, I just throw a lot of the first and second year students into the same category as the youth I see at church. Therefore, I really don't want much to do with them. Yeah, there are exceptions in some of them being incredible people, but there's always going to be the few that are just brats. What they find amusing or entertaining just don't appeal to me whatsoever. They are probably in the same position I was in when I moved in, so I need to understand that.

I really wanted to do well academically for my final semester of my undergrad, and it just isn't ideal to have the space, privacy, and time to do that while living on residence.

Oh well. I know that it's more on me to make the best out of this situation, and I might have to. Maybe it'll be on me to be a role model to these kids to show them what living a strong life might look like. As weird as it is for the guys on this floor to randomly have me come back in January, and for my roommate to have me around, it's just as weird for me to come back to this situation. So the best thing is probably just to meet halfway until we're back to our routines.

Not entirely sure if this really means anything to anyone other than me, but coming back to res this term is a lot like going back to YC after having been for many years and then taking one off. All in all, it just feels weird and you realize that you've grown out of it, that you're not really the target audience anymore. This describes how I feel pretty accurately.

So what am I going to do so that, not only do I not second guess my decision to come back to res, but to be glad that I did?
