What's the point?
Hey, I'm 20 yrs old and moved here from Long Island, NY. Been here since the beginning of April. I hate it here
I will preface by saying that this area has the most beautiful and spiritually connecting nature that I've ever experienced. This is the best part about Western MA.
However, it really feels like there is absolutely nothing to do. No events no parties no shows no nothing. Can't go to bars or clubs because every place that sells alcohol has forensic ID scanners from the CIA so my fake won't work.
I understand that it's summer break and there's no students here so there's not many people my age... But even in the spring, I went to a few shows at Hampshire College (RIP) and it felt like everyone already knew each other and had their friends and there wasn't a purpose of me being there. In New York I could strike up conversations with people I've never met at events and it would click, here there feels something off when I do that, the interaction has some tension in it. But maybe that's a me problem.
Perhaps this place isn't for me. Perhaps I need to live in or near a large city to feel at home because I feel like I come back to a room at night, not my home.
