Home
I went home this weekend after being away for almost a month. I`ve never been away for such a long time. When I started getting close to home everything felt really weird, but everything looked the same and everybody seemed the same. For some reason I just couldn`t get over how different I felt. I ran into some friends, who probably will never be able to escape Somerville. I felt bad for them even though they are some of the most content people I`ve ever met. I try to tell them that theirs more out there, and college is a great way to get ahead in life. However, they never seem to listen to me and they still live their simple, happy lives in small town Somerville. I wish I could be as content as they are. It seems like they don`t worry about anything and life is just trip and they`re along for the ride. I envy them but then again I`m glad I am here getting an education and experiencing independence without all of the independent aspects like paying my own bills. Well, I have to head back to school tomorrow and all my home work is waiting on me. Man I love six hour drive back to school doesn`t everybody.

I'm glad you enjoyed going home. I live off campus and I hate going to my parents house. I also hate this crappy little town of Maynardville that i have to live in because of my daughters school. Hopefully next year Ill be able to move to Knoxville away from everyone! LOL! but i know how you feel, when i drive to my parents house even though its only 15 minutes away i feel really weird and out of place.I just glad i don't have to live there anymore.I hope your drive back was blast!
ReplyDeleteI live at home, so I don't experience either of theses feelings. Sometimes I think about how much things are different though. No one asks where I am anymore, and I'm hardly ever home. It's strange, and I feel that life is speeding by. I can't believe how long we've been in school. Also I see those type of people who are just letting life go by. Although they might seem to have it easy, later on they might not have it so easy. Life after college will probably be easier for you. You'll have an education, and a good career (hopefully) so you could think of it that way. hard work does pay off.
