Yea, I have a group of friends who are all relatively ambitious and wanting to do something special before they get older. It seems like people who share similar goals tend to attract to each other. I have a hard time understanding people who want to stay in their suburb hometowns and never go anywhere else. I live in a suburb of a relatively major city that most people would say has been on the decline since the 40's and it sucks pretty bad.. While the suburbs are still pretty good there is almost nothing to do here. It gets annoying when people ask you what local company you are going to work at when you graduate and you tell them you're planning on moving away. This causes them questions how it is even feasible to move away, "how can you move away?? don't you have family here??". I usually just say yea and then people call me selfish haha. I just don't understand how someone could be content with lives knowing that they haven't experienced more than one or two towns in their whole life.
