"Live a life of struggle, not regret"
That's some good advice. But socially, can it work? If I struggle and remain persistent in calling or talking or meeting, will that benefit me? Yes!
Another quote that coincides with it: "Well I tried, didn't I? God dammit, at least I did that"
Because if they don't want to hang out with you anyway, calling isn't going to HURT things. Sure, it'll make you come off as desperate, but only to them, who don't like you anyway, so go out and try, dammit!
But when? I've called, in the past week, without a reply: Alicia, Eric (twice), Sharon, Heidi. And for the whole summer: Amy#2, Jake. It seems hopeless because it looks as if I've done something that they resent. But what the hell did I do? Whatever. I've tried and tried. And it ends up that Paul and Curtis are the only ones responding to me at least semi-consistently.
20 days...20 days until my life starts. It's getting more and more in my vision and mroe tangible with each passing day. I got my schedule, I got my room and roommate (Curtis), now I need to live and try to START life for real. Life starts in 20 days...and counting...
