on my ipod: stupid girl by garbage

i just realized today that mum was right. that no matter what everyone says, when you get out of school, cliques or the whole popularity thing doesn't matter. what matters is what you do after graduation.

i met up with my old college friend jeanne this morning. it was pure coincidence, i went up to our building's deck to smoke when, lo and behold, there she was about to go for a dip. i never realized that we are neighbors! we ended up spending the whole afternoon together just bonding. she's also going through a tough breakup (is this the season of heartbreak?) so we were just ranting about exes, failed relationships and life.

the funny thing is jeanne and i were never that close in college. sure, we were in the cheerleading squad together and there was that one intro to comm class where we produced our own talk show. but we were never really in the same circle of friends. i hung out with the "socialites" (those people who partied hard and went out almost everyday, even on a school night) whereas she hung out with the "pop girls" (insanely popular modelesque girls who always made the dean's list. in short: perfect). but there we were, talking and laughing like old friends catching up with the latest scandals of our batchmates (like who got pregnant, went to the us and the like) and what we're doing right now (she just finished an underwater shoot for a european calendar whereas i still have no idea what to do with my life). we ended up making plans to go to embassy for the weekend.

i guess after 2 years of graduation, your gpa or popularity doesn't really matter. when you see someone from your old world, it's such a relief to know that you are not the only one struggling in this mad, mad world.
