do I know you from somewhere?

Alright so this has been frustrating me. actually I don't think frustrating is the right word. but I will try and explain. 

In recent years I've become obsessed with the idea of being a regular. alright, maybe not obsessed but I just try and make a habit of going to the same places as much as I can. I like the idea of going into a place and knowing the people there. it's refreshing and makes me feel like less of a stranger in my current setting. i don't know how to achieve regular status and whether or not I have achieved it. 

but I would say the spot that I frequent the most is perks, a nice coffee shop on campus. in fact, I am there now. it has an interesting dynamic, being on campus and all, because i see the same people all the time and they go to my school. and its always great when I see friends. what's bothering me is seeing the not friends. there's a group of people that I literally see every day here but never interact with. and I guess this is my problem. I'm just not good at or used to talking with strangers. 

to think that I could graduate and never know even the names of these people is so depressing. I wish that seeing the same person in the same setting at least 4-5 times a week could lead to some sort of connection.  don't we live to connect?
