Thanks for the advice everyone, I would send out some likes on your posts but I lost the ability to like things for calling someone an idiot on the main boards
Just a couple of comments rather than quoting a million posts. I've lost contact with a lot of people from my high school, but I'm also not particularly upset about that, either. I still stay in contact with a few, but I've moved on from basically everyone. It's not like I never see them, I hang out with them every once in a while for parties or ultimate Frisbee games or stuff like that, but it's not really something I pursue heavily. It's also not something I'm losing sleep over, to be honest. I'll hang out with most probably 3-5 times a year, usually on holidays and maybe a couple of times playing video games or going to parks. Then again, I'm not sure if that counts as "lost contact" since I do hang out with them about once every 3 months. Based on what
@Ogrezilla does, I think that doesn't count as "lost contact" because it's about quarterly get-togethers.
I do expect to become active again with some of my old hobbies I had throughout college, one of those being stargazing. I spent a bunch of money on a pretty nice telescope in freshman year in college, but I sparingly use it at my current apartment just because it's a ***** to set it up and there's no where at my apartment that I can easily use it. When I move into my new place, I plan on taking it to Frick Park pretty regularly, I've already figured out the logistics for taking the telescope there and there's also a bunch of other stuff you can do. I'll join intramurals at my job once I'm happy with my weight, which will probably be this summer. My company offers a ton of off-site spots, there's Ultimate Frisbee, hockey, softball, basketball, golf and biking I believe. There may be more too, I haven't been there since August, so there may be a flag football league or a hiking club that has been made. I plan on getting a dog as soon as possible, it can't be on my next lease (which sucks, I'm super excited for this apartment), but I may go find a new lease that allows me to have a dog. There's also a lot of stuff to do in Pittsburgh that won't break the bank (Pirates games, the aviary/zoo, museums and such), and some things that can break the bank if you're in the mood (I'm looking at you, Rivers Casino).
Basically, the point I'm making is that I have a lot of stuff planned out already, it's just a matter of actually executing it. I have enough stuff available to not fall into the same boring routine of work, gym and sleep, it's just a matter of actually doing this stuff. Like
@HandshakeLin said, it's about being proactive.
