I think it was the first or second day of class where we had to make a map of our childhood home in class. I drew a map of my house in Cary. Living in cary i never really liked it. People always complained about how theres nothing to do there. Before i left for college in charlotte i was really excited that i am actually going to a big city unlike cary/raleigh. The first week of college though made me realize that cary is my home. All my friends were there and my family lived there too. I guess i realized the saying "you never know what you have until you lose it" is actually true. At the same time however i am now getting used to Charlotte and i am enjoying my time so far in college.
I agree when you say the phrase "You don't know what you have until it's gone" is true. This can range from losing someone or even going away. I miss Pittsburgh because its all I know and grew up with. Now that I moved here I miss my family and friends but I making new ones each day.
ReplyDeleteI notice times of transition in my life have really provided space to reflect on what I want. Interesting how writing functioned with that for you here.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean when you said people were always complaining about your hometown. I honestly liked my hometown even if there was nothing to do there. We would just do anything thing we could and make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that its hard getting to know the campus and getting used to everything around but I completely agreed with you on the fact that college so far is really good so far but it is a little confusing.
