Having spent my entire life in the Midwest, I promised myself that when the time came for college, I would leave. I would pack up, go somewhere new and become self-made despite being from suburbia. I think most people my age shared that kind of sentiment, this intrinsic desire to flee all that we knew. I now go to school at UW-Madison… Clearly, my plan worked out. But I’m not upset about it.
