Entry 4

We’re all going to college soon. Some of us are going in-state others out-of-state or if you’re like me, you have no idea. I’d like to go out-of-state, I think. It’s not that I don’t like the U or the other colleges in Utah. I even went on a campus tour of the U and I loved it,  but something still urges deep inside of me to get out. I feel that if I go out of state I will experience the true world. 

I do understand that this entire fantasy of opportunities also comes with the negatives of being on my own and facing loneliness.  And frankly, the world is a dangerous place. But at the same time, the world is full of all these amazing opportunities, different cultures, different people, different sceneries, and so so so much more... Those worries of facing hardship, which I know are inescapable, are only a little piece of what the world has to offer. 

I think that's the incredible part of going to an out-of-state college.

 I'll be in a new place all on my own. And living in the very "safe" Utah (compared to the other states) for all my life,  I believe it's time for me to explore whats outside of this haven tucked within the Wasatch mountains. Even if this means I have to face the reality of moving out all on my own. 

 I just know something is waiting out there for me,  and I really can't wait to grasp it.
