"So, how is Georgia going?"

I get asked the question "How is Georgia going?", and I answer "It's great. I love it!". Truth is, I do love it, and I am truly grateful to be here. But I am getting to the point where I am missing home. I miss my friends and family. I miss being woken up by our yellow lab, Butters. I miss Whataburger. I am truly missing Texas A&M football, and the 12th man. The more I think about it, the more I ask myself, "Will I regret this?". Deep down, I know I won't regret this trip, and I won't regret moving miles away from home, to find out exactly what I want for my future. Think the real regret will be that I thought about regretting this.

2 months have passed by, and I have been able to see some breathtaking historical sights, been able to try some delicious food, and have taken pictures of all of it so I will always remember what I experienced here in Georgia(thanks to my handy, dandy, Iphone). Most people don't have the opportunity to travel to another state for 4 months, and see everything that there is to offer. 

Growing up, I was always the one that got home sick. I missed my bed, the smell of home cooking, the dogs waking me up just by staring at me, and the comfortable environment. My brother on the other hand, has been in the Marine Corp for over a year now, and really never mentions being truly home sick. I know he misses home, and misses the life that he left to be in the Marines. In a way, I did the same thing. I knew the moment I applied for this internship, I was taking a chance of moving away from home. I wanted this, to show myself that I could do this. That I needed to start carving my own path, because in two months, I'll be graduating. Graduation will be the starting line to my path, and I have to start this crazy journey we call life. Graduation will also be the finish line to one pathway that is closing, and this internship is the last leg of the race.
Georgia is amazing. It's nice to see Fall actually happens here, and the trees are starting to change colors. So much history is here, from Martin Luther King Jr. to the Swan House that was built in 1926. To food trucks, saucy BBQ, and southern cooking-you can't go wrong with whatever you decide on eating.

So how could I be missing home? I don't know if it is reality setting in, or if it's the fact that I have to fly home to see family. I can't tell you why I am homesick. But I know I miss home. Yes, I know that it's going to be bittersweet to leave GA, and I will not look back on this experience with regret. I could have easily taken the other path, but I wouldn't have this experience to tell people about.

Lately, I've been missing home more than often. But I don't want to put a damper on my time here. So, when I am feeling blue, or missing home, I listen to "All of The Stars" by Ed Sheeran. 



I may be missing home, but luckily I have a huge support team back in Texas. My own personal 12th man.
