Stuck In Ohio

There are these weird bumper stickers I see all of the time that read “Stuck in Ohio.” I thought it was something more profound, but its actually just a video production company somewhere.




Its the Spring 2016 semester. The semester I was supposed to graduate if I hadn’t messed around so much with school. I’ll graduate eventually. I sort of wish I was graduating now, but not for the sentimental friendship reasons, because I want to get out of here. I want to move on and do something else. Meet new people, do new things. I got the same way when I was nearing the end of high school. I wanted to go to school somewhere away, do new things, meet new people, but then I went to school 20 minutes away from my house. I still made new friends and met new people, but there is something about now that makes me feel stuck.

I like to do this thing where I put random calendar events in my Google calendar to remind me of things I said I would do. I have an event set to repeat between 2018 and 2023 reminding me to bring cream puffs to a wedding. I guess I wanted to be thorough. Who knows if I will still use Google calendar in 2023. Maybe we’ll have brain implants or something by then. Today one of those events popped up. I am supposed buy an MLB hat for the location in which my friend Madison goes to med school. She picked the date because I had no idea when people know where they are going to med school. It was an accurate date, but for a different place. I figured PA school could count too.


Everyone is making plans for that next step. Where they’re going to go, what they’re going to do. If I could drop everything right now and just go, I completely and totally would. Maybe I get bored too easily. Maybe I think leaving will give me something I won’t actually find. I just feel like my existence is boring. My life is boring, and not what I want it to be. I know there is nothing wrong with my life, my life is fine, I shouldn’t complain, but I want something new, and I am itching for it now.

I guess I should head to Amazon to order a Cincinnati Reds cap, and maybe at Washington Nationals, or a Minnesota Twins, or a Boise Hawks, or a Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks cap. My current cap is getting worn out.
