If you ask high school kids from my hometown if they like the state of Michigan, most would say no, and that they cannot wait to move away. I used to be the same way. But after moving out of state for school (to Ohio), it really makes you appreciate all the wonderful things about the Mitten State.
Although I haven't explored much of the beautiful state that is Ohio, I can't help but to compare to what is arguably the best state in the United States. From exploring the big, little city of Grand Rapids, to walking down the vast beaches of Lake Michigan. The state offers so much for the adventurers soul. Hiking and sightseeing is one of the best things to do here. I look back and remember my weekend adventures I had this summer. One week I was in Harbor Springs kayaking down the Sturgeon River, and the next I was in the Upper Peninsula hiking Tahquamenon Falls. There is just so many memories to be made here.
As I prepare to continue my journey as a fashion student, I can't help think how much I'm going to miss this place. Hopefully I can make my home away from home just as special.
