A pic of home- I heart Gig Harbor!


After three tumultuous weeks at Western, I finally decided it was time to head home.
I had seen all my friends going home the last weekend and had begun to get jealous. With mixed feelings I drove the two and a half, almost three hour, drive to my house. On the drive down, I wondered what it would be like. Would I feel like stranger in my home? Would things still be the same? Would I want to come back to college? With all of these thoughts rumbling around in my head, I began to think that maybe going home wasn’t such a good idea. I was so used to college life already….better not to mess up the cycle. But it wasn’t as if I could just turn around and head back…I was almost there.

Suffice to say, my weekend home was amazing. Although it was slightly weird being home and back in my hometown….it was definitely fun. I have to say that I looked forward to coming home though (home to college- isn’t it interesting how now whenever we refer to ‘home’ we are talking about Western or our dorms?)

I wonder if you all felt the same way I did…it was good going home and seeing familiarity but at the same time it almost felt like you didn’t belong there anymore.
