While most leave the nest to spread their wings a little and leave to another place to gain a so-called college education, I am stuck in the same nest I've been accustomed to my whole life; San Diego. It's a city I've developed a bittersweet relationship with. It's been great to me for the past 10 years, providing me with sunshine, good food, and most importantly amazing people from all walks of life. Now, it all comes down to this: I want to get out of here! Now! I want to get out now.
Simply however, I'm stuck here. Not good enough for Berkeley or UCLA, I am left to attend UCSD, left to be smothered in self-doubt... will I ever be good enough for anything else other than familiarity? The familiarity of this town and of its people? I want to explore and be tortured by all the cruelty and ugliness that the rest of the world has to offer me, but alas it is no longer possible. Not at this moment, not for a couple of years.
Nonetheless, I am glad to share this feeling of being stuck in paradise with two great friends; Elma and Vladimir. Together we are the inconquerable "Eljemir". We are blog warriors, here to blog the brains out of everything SD has to offer.
