So I've only been to college for about a week now but there are already so many differences from High School. Growing up in a small country town where everybody knows your name and farming is the number one priority in life, being gay was very difficult. I used to be scared to walk in the halls alone and I wouldn't go in the bathrooms in school at all unless it was after school and no one was there. It was very tough and I had times where guys have said shit about me in front of the whole class and have everyone laugh and I would leave the class and spend it in front of my locker or would go to the nurse to avoid class. I remember when someone said crap about me in front of the whole class and I had to leave because I just broke down into tears.
Now its been a week of college and I feel so much more comfortable. Sure there are the occasional people that I would avoid but I really don't feel scared to be myself. I shouldn't be afraid to be myself at all. It's nice to finally go to school where your not the only minority and you don't have a bunch of hicks saying shit to you everywhere you go. I love college, so much more maturity.
