Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

It's where I'm from, but it's not where I'm meant to stay

Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

This may have been the state where I grew up, the place where my friends and family live, but it is not where I'm meant to be and for that reason, I'm not sad to leave.

For almost six months now I've been planning to move out of my home state and let me just say as time goes by I feel more at peace and content with my decision.

Which that isn't normally how I am, I don't plan stuff ahead, I stress out and made decisions last minute weighing every single pro and con first. Even after that sometimes I don't even make an actual decision, I just wait until it's made for me or I stress myself out over what could go wrong and just abandon the thought of change.

I am made the decision to move seven hours away from this place I called home for the longest time and I could not be happier about it.

Ever since I moved back to Missouri, I have dealt with extremely toxic and controlling family members and have been kicked down in about every way possible.

Just in these past six months I have went from nearly not having anywhere to live, to losing my car, losing a job I loved, switching to a job I hated, nearly losing my dog, losing two high school friends, selling my soul and working at my families company, been stolen from, and have even had my identity stolen twice, and that's all on top of the health problems I moved back here to deal with.

This past six month has been the worst of my life, but only better things can come next, or that's what I keep telling myself anyway.


I'm moving back to Indiana, not only can I get a fresh start, but I can live in peace without all the toxicity.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
