Why do people feel the need to run and make a million friends now?
I say this knowing full well that my motto to live by is that “to be forgotten is a fate worse than death”, but come on people. People are rushing out and trying to now be friends with everyone they can be simply because they’re afraid. They’re afraid of being forgotten when they go to college. They’re afraid of forgetting when they go to college. Well fuck that, I say. I’d rather make 5 everlasting impressions than 100 meaningless ones. I’m leaving La Salle with 10-12 friends I’ll be friends with forever. I am contractually obligated to be friends with 4 of them and I’m dating one of the others. I would love for the rest of the school to remember me, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to be memorable. Either I was, or I wasn’t. I don’t want to be remembered for a week of fake friendship. I want to be remembered for being Nick Parisi.
