So now both my roommates are gone and I'm all alone in my apartment and I'm feeling super sentimental. I just really miss Michigan. A lot. So here's a short list of all of my favorite Michigan things.
1. My house/room. (PS these are bad pictures of both of these things but I guess it never occurred to me that maybe I would want a picture of my house or room later in life so oops. Also this is what my room usually looked like so I guess it's the most accurate picture I could put up. Except I was in the packing process so maybe it was a little worse than usual....idk.)
2. Northville High School. Yeah, weird that I miss high school, huh? I thought I hated it when I went there, but now when I think back on it, I only remember happy things: the drama department, eating lunch in the band hallway with Anne and Eric or Colleen and Zoe, the drumline performances, the teachers, the dances. High school is the last time that you'll be free from all the stressful responsibility that comes along with being an adult. And sometimes it's hard not to miss that.
3. The Food. Utah doesn't have Panera, Jets, The Asian Buffet, or Custard Time so yeah I've basically been dead.
4. Twelve Oaks. I never realized how amazing this mall was until I left and suddenly all the other malls suck.
5. Downtown Northville. Honestly the cutest, most romantic little place on the face of this earth.
6. The trees. Michigan is so green compared to Utah, and I miss it so much. True, Utah has mountains and yes, they're beautiful, but I would choose the trees and grass in Michigan over the Utah mountains any day.
My yard in Michigan has more green than basically the entire state of Utah.
7. The Roads. Like the road names, not the conditions of the roads haha. I miss driving down 8 Mile or Beck or Taft or Haggerty. I miss it a lot.
8. The Seasons. Fall was one of my favorite parts about Michigan so I was a little sad when I came to Utah and there were no beautiful reds, yellows, and oranges.
9. Meijer. Oh, Meijer. It's so janky but so wonderful at the same time. I miss buying toilet paper at 2:00 AM to go tp-ing, riding the horse for only a penny, spending four hours there grocery shopping with my mom, and seeing girls with raccoon tails there with Amy. Meijer: higher standards, lower prices.
10. The People. I miss my friends in Michigan more than I miss anything else. They're the reason that my heart still runs in the Michigan time zone.
