90210

This past week's episode of 90210 was interesting. Ethan was driving, while talking on the phone, and got in a car accident. Although he wasn;t severely injured, he hit another car which left the girl in the hospital with a punctured lung. It was completely his fault, so of course he felt completely guilty of his carelessness. Because of this, he goes above and beyond to apologize to her and look after her while she is in the hospital. When he first goes to see her, he does not know this girl; but come to find out, this girl not only goes to the same school as him, but is also in one of his classes! Is it shady that he is only NOW showing interest in her because he almost killed her? Why hasn't he ever paid any attention to her prior to the accident happening?

This just shows how much people can get so wrapped up in their close circle of friends and not widen out to meet new people. It's a shame that it took an accident for him to realize this, but at least he now sees that he should take interest in everybody, not just the same people he's always assoctiated with. I think college is the perfect time to take advantage of widening out. Meeting new people plays such a big role in your life and contributes to the person that you become. Instead of being like Ethan and wait till something tragic happens, we need to meet new people now.
