The Need to Leave

So I'm laying on the couch, like I've been doing for the majority of the day, and I'm thinking about this great city I've been living in since May.

Austin has overwhelmed me and stolen my heart, granted it doesn't take much for that task. Nevertheless, I love it here and the more I think about it, the harder it is for me to want to go home. Granted I already have priorities in Michigan, but it's still sad to think about leaving this great city.

I've done much more here than I would had I stayed home in L-town (Lapeer for those of you who are confused by this). I've jumped off some cliffs, kayaked, got attacked by an alligator gar, gone 2-steppin, and many more things I would not have experienced otherwise. I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that I'm opening up and broadening my horizons to new things. It was a slow process that started in Grand Rapids and has really accelerated down here. Living in a different city and state, even if for only a short period of time has just fueled my need to move out of the mitten. I don't want to stay in a state that the majority of the citizens do not enjoy. I want to live some place and be proud of my choice of where I decided to live.

Now I've started the long process of what to do after I graduate. I can't stay in Michigan. It would be a miserable choice for me. I guess I have three more years to think about it but I want to be prepared . I'm looking for suggestions on what to do next.
