fall makes me miss college. i miss walking everywhere, frequenting the outdoors. i miss familiar brick walkways and the familiar plants alongside. i especially miss the scent of tea olive blossoms adrift in the night air and the glow of the old-fashioned streetlamps along the horseshoe. i miss being day-to-day in a centralized area, no commute required, just being there. so in that sense i miss my first two years of college the most.
lately i have entertained the notion of moving closer to downtown. it would be awesome to live close enough that i could ride a bike to work, but i don't think that's very likely. especially not those super nice condos on pine st or the brand new ones they're building right near the library. but it would be cool to live in an urban center again... an urban center that is green. the idea is just wholesome and inviting to me.
i would settle for just a place of my own. starting to get to that point. although i think it would be lonely coming home to just myself. but i don't think i'd want a roommate. i don't think i could find a better and less obtrusive than my mom. but i do want to be out of here once my dad is back... let them have their house and privacy back. we'll see.
either way. i've got to drive with my windows down more.
