Tired.

If there was one word to describe how I felt, that would be it.

But that was the usual for me

Life, I guess.

Today should be a good day. Well, at least for every normal college student it would be. After all, it was senior year. Everyone couldn't wait for their last year of college  while I honestly couldn't care less.

My first class wasn't until noon and it was a little after 11 so I had a little spare time. I decided on going to the cafe.

Walking in, I subtly rolled my eyes. It was loud but of course that was expected. 

First day of classes meant excitement.

Flexing my fingers, I decided to just grab something quick. That way I wouldn't have to be around people longer than I already had to.

I grabbed an apple and a bottle of water before exiting the cafe.

Walking outside, I took a bite out of my apple.

It was nice out, I guess.

Sun was shining, birds were chirping. Everything seemed great. At least, that's what the average person would think.

Everything seemed pretty blah to me. But then again, when wasn't everything just blah to me?

I rarely got excited about anything these days. You'd think I at least be happy about graduating but I as I said before,

I couldn't care less.

I sighed, taking another bit of my apple.

I chuckled, thinking about the last 8 months of my life. I'm surprised I'm still here. I often think about what it would be like if I wasn't here anymore. I also wonder what it would be like to be happy for a change. But I guess I just-

"I'm so sorry!" A young woman exclaimed as she bumped into me, dropping all of her books.

And just like that, my thoughts came to a halt.

I placed my water in the side pouch of my bag as I tossed my apple. Kneeling down, I helped her pick up everything she dropped.

"Sorry about this," She apologized again. "Thanks for helping me."
