Downriver

Yeah, I've been all over the world. Despite this, I've yet to find a place that is as good or better than Downriver. I like it. There is a certain way of thinking that drives what goes on in this little area of Michigan. Of all of the places in the world, I happened to be born here. I know where everything is and I don't want anything to change. It is awesome that 90% of the people on my street are just like me. I don't want multiculturalism on my street. I can just drive 10 minutes and find it. I like the familiar. Don't get me wrong I enjoy other cultures at least as much as most, and probably more. I've had to adapt to different cultures and ways of life in many different places around the world. However, now I choose to stay right here.

I was at Timmy Horton's for a study group for Spanish class and after 3 minutes into the meeting I realized that 2 of the 3 other people in my group know K-dogg. How crazy is that? Yep, they are all from Downriver. As far as I knew they were just some random people in my Spanish class that happened to include me in their group. Actually, they had lots of funny stories to tell and we laughed a ton about interesting stuff that goes on at a certain hospital. What is even more strange is that I had even been told a bit about one of the guys in the group. He was like...., "how do you know this about me?"

I keep being frustrated that I do not have one good job and that I live at home and that I don't make more money after all of this school, and that I have so much debt and...................! I just feel like I'm in some sort of rut. I want to get out of it. I run after the cheese, but I feel like I get stuck on the sticky trap. I am stuck Downriver because there is nothing better. I want to discover/find a job that fits my skills anyplace I can. I would move if I had a good offer. There are just no options at this point. I keep running the nursing thing through my brain. I don't want to do it, but it seems like an option. I don't want more school if that involves doing something that I don't want to do. AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Your blog confuses me.
First you say you don't want to be anywhere else but downriver...and then you say you are stuck here?

I's confused.

And in my opinion, I think you should try somewhere else. Downriver is....well....downriver.
