Hold on to Good Friends

The distance from Pittsburgh to Rockville is 226.58 miles. I have driven this route countlessly for 4years. I have it down to a science to arrive in my driveway in exactly 3hrs and 30min. I know when to speed, when to look for cops, when to leap frog cars, and all the while drumming on my steering wheel and singing to some tunes. But you know when you doze off; you're still awake, but you don't remember driving the last 10miles. That's what today feels like. Somehow I snapped back to reality and my college years are finished and I don't know how I got here so fast.

I left my friends and my home away from home. I wasn't expecting to be emotional or tearful about this goodbye. But as I drove outside the city limits and could no longer see the sky rises or bridges in my rear view mirror, that's exactly what happened. I am really going to miss the Burgh, especially my closest friends. I don't think I will find another group of girls as ridiculous, fun-loving, and genuine as them and I don't want to. I am truly going to miss it all.
