Free Writes

I woke up this morning with the uncontrollable urge to write. So I sat down and did a free write. I figured I'd share it with you.

In two more days I’ll be kissing this place goodbye. There will be nothing to do but look back for a minute and remember the times I’ve had here, good times, bad times, and all around confusing times. Will I wonder what it would be like if I stayed? Yes. Will I regret leaving for home? No. People are going to give me weird looks, I understand that. Most teenagers want to get out of their house as soon as they can. But what they don’t understand, what society as a whole doesn’t understand, is that not everyone is meant to go away to college. I like to think I’m more mature than your average college student. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable thought considering I have more friends that are out of college than your average 19 year old. I don’t think it’s weird that I go shopping with my eighth grade English teacher, because she’s my friend, nor do I think it’s weird to go out to dinner or sit and talk with 30 some year old mothers, because they’re my friends too. I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy hanging out with the friends I have that are my age. I’m just saying that I don’t fit into the stereotypical college student role. I don’t see the point of drinking until you can’t remember your own name, smoking, ever, or gallivanting around dressed like a, for lack of a better word, skank. To quote Relient K, “the party scene is kinda mean, I think it’s sick and twisted.” I don’t see a problem with spending my Friday nights watching a movie at home or going out to dinner, coming back home, and relaxing. This is why I will be kissing this place goodbye in two days. There honestly isn’t much to do besides party. I can’t stand being away from my family for this long. I want to sit on the couch and watch a movie with my mom. I had a life in Titusville, one that I liked, and I can’t wait to get it back again.

On a side note, my computer is giving me more reasons to switch to Apple. The sound randomly decides to stop working. It's annoying.
