I love going to school in Southern California. I love the
warm weather and eternal sunshine. I love the laid-back attitudes and casual
cool of the people there. I would have loved to live out my fantasy of spending
a SoCal summer chilling by the pool and soaking up the vitamin D. That was the
plan and my overactive imagination had idealized it to the point of
ridiculousness. Admittedly, I probably spent a little too much time fantasizing. As the summer drew closer, I realized I was going to have to trade in that California dream for one
last Seattle summer, which is honestly a pretty great trade off.
