Where are you going?

I feel like I'm on my way to nowhere. I'm sitting in the car waiting for the next 99 miles to go by so I can get to the University of Nevada, Reno in one piece. When I look out the window I see the same thing as I pass the cars on my right... Hippies going back to their mountains, snowboard bros trying to shred the freshest powder (well in this case, the sludge left over from the last winter), and motorcyles twirling in and out of lanes. Every once in a while I'll run into the hick's going back to their cabin in the middle of nowhere.
In the upcoming fall I will be the one that someone drives by and wonders what I am doing on 80 east towards Reno. I'm definitely not the hippie going back to the mountain, or the snowboarder. I will just be the student that's trying to get through the year and came home to get a home cooked meal.

I'm going to miss having a kitchen that I made all my disasterous meals in. I took every burned toast, overcooked noodles, and random meals for granted. I want to be able to burn my own cookies and slurp up the mush of noodles.. I guess that's why my mom wanted me to go to UNR so bad. She knows me too well. I want to be away from home to experience the college life but not too far where I feel like I am alone.

Meeting new people is always a struggle for me. Today is a day to experience all that joy. To walk into a room of my piers and be instantly judged. Just my cup of tea. But whatever they think, I know the truth. That's all that matters in the end.

Just listening to my iPod and texting away. What a beautiful day outside. Enjoy the burnt toast, the mushy noodles, and your OWN bed. Goodbye for now my loves.
