According to AAA, it is 1273.2 miles from Kingston, Rhode Island to Mississippi State University in Starkville. This seems like a very long way. 19 hours, not counting stops, delays, and an overnight. Nike says she is not looking forward to the journey (she's not sure she can sit still that long). Heck, I'm not sure I can. And if you've ever taken a road trip with me you know there will be about a million "pee stops."
When I went to college in Frederick, Maryland, it felt like a world away from home. But all my friends were dispersing across the country to their own various colleges, so it didn't seem too bad. Now, I have to accept that I'm the only one leaving, and I'm leaving behind one of the only people who has supported me throughout this entire endeavor, despite his own reservations and selfishness. This makes it so much harder. The closer it gets, the more I hope I'm up for this...
