Take me back

When we were driving back home all I wanted to do was stick my hands in the ground and the only way I would be able to leave would be to drag me to the car. I miss Colorado. I miss fresh air and not having a care in the world and just being able to hike mountains.

I'm never a complainer, but this I will complain about. Indiana is just not that great, a nice way to put it. Sure, there are a few things here and there, and maybe it is because this is where I have always lived and I'm just getting tired of it, but getting out of Indiana is all I have been able to think about after I came back from my road-trip.

There is a whole world out there to explore and I have only seen a handful of states out of this giant planet.

Coming home was hard, obviously leaving beautiful places and scenery you instantly fall in love with will be hard, but what is even worse is coming back to a small college apartment and having to check email, get your life back on track and find a way to not be overwhelmed by being a college student. The end is almost near for this semester making students get on edge and a lot of people can only think about the finish line instead of the miles we have to run before we get there. Whose to blame us though?

Traveling is an addiction, once you start it is hard to just stop dead in your tracks and have to think "alright well I have to study for 3 classes, do 4 projects, take who knows how many pictures, meet with a group to talk about our presentation, try to keep up my grades without going mad, take care of my body and worry about organizations. Got it." Traveling is so much easier when all you have to worry about is to stay clear of New mexico and Kansas drivers.

What I'm getting at is that I miss the open road and I won't stop talking about it until I am back on it to get to the beautiful places that this awesome planet has provided me with.
