What all of this boils down to is I'm looking for a change of pace. Life in my hometown got to be too common. Nothing ever changed and I knew everybody. I could go on vacation for a week, come back, and it would be as if I never left. So I figured if nothing changes, I might as well leave.
College offers more than enough of a change.
You can see a new face and meet somebody new every single day. There are lots of events and groups with so much more to offer than staying at home. All of this change will also make me a better person. I want to change with experience. I want to grow with the events that unfold in my life.
