Same 'Ol Same 'Ol

So I traveled to Orlando this past week for my birthday and to take a break from school. UofM is a b-i-t-c-h and it has a way of making the smartest people feel dumb. But it's cool, I have survived and I am about to graduate shortly and join the largest alumni base so it's all gravy.

While I sit in my room unpacking I realize that I am over Michigan. There is nothing left for me here. I have been here all of my life. Born and raised in Detroit, went to some of the best schools in the city and now at one of the greatest universities in our nation. I feel like I have sucked Michigan dry and explored all I can (or at least all I care to explore). It is time for me to move on to bigger and better things and Michigan is not in the situation to foster the growth I desire.

I want to meet new people. I want to see and experience different things. I want new friends. I just want to start a life of my own that is not based on Michigan. I am too familiar with this place and I have grown tired of it. UofM was cool the first two years but I feel like I have accomplished a lot here in regard to academics, social life and extra curricular activities.

Life here has become so mundane and repetitive. I need a new challenge. Something that excites and scares me. I loathe being bored which is why I stay involved in so many different things. However, I am now bored of this place and I can not wait to graduate so I can begin the next chapter in my life. I don't fear the unknown nor the future, I welcome it because some of the greatest things have arose out of unfamiliar settings.
