College countdown continues with only 12 days left. It feels like such a short time and I’ll finally be away from home.

I sometimes wonder if I should regret leaving high school early and going to college kind-if-close-to-home.

Then I remember. When your car is keyed and someone leaves you a death threat, it’s not a good sign.

They want you gone, one way or another.

So I’d rather be gone and alive than gone and dead.

The one thing that still makes me sad is that although I’m only a couple hours away from home, I won’t really be able to see my friends that much. And plus, next year they’ll all be leaving and it won’t even matter anymore.
