Out of Place

We all have felt out of place before. Whether we were with friends or strangers, at a sporting event we like or a musical, even just hanging out by ourselves. It is a strange feeling to be out of place. For example, I enrolled in a Scandinavian Studies class because it was four credits and it fit into my schedule. When I arrived on the first day, I immediately felt out of place. It was not that I was uninterested in the subject (because I was), it was that I felt no connection with any of the students. I consider myself to be an athletic person with a variety of interests, the main one being sports. More specifically, hockey. Unfortunately, I dropped that class after the first day and was unable to experience the other students who enrolled in the class. And I use the only reason I use the term "students" is because they were not the instructor. Half the class could have been my father. Needless to say, I felt out of place. So I fixed it by dropping the class and picking up another because that is what I do. When I have a problem or I feel out of place, I either fix it or fake it until I feel content.
