So I totally fail at catching up. I don't remember what day we're supposed to be on, but the topic is: your favorite quote. Currently, my favorite quote is a verse in Save Me San Francisco by Train.
"Every day so caffeinated, I wish they were Golden Gated
Fillimore couldn't feel more miles away
So wrap me up, return to sender, let's forget this five-year bender
Take me to my city by the bay"
I'm originally from the Bay Area, so I do consider San Francisco my "home". This song just speaks volumes to how I'm feeling about college right now. It's actually kind of scary how accurate this part is in comparison to my situation. a) I'm like a nervous wreck every day because of caffeine, b) I often find myself thinking about how much better everything would be if I went to school closer to home instead of over 2,000 miles away, and c) I'm in a 5 year program. Scary accurate, right? It's weird. Now, I'm not saying that I don't like college. I love it here, some of the time. I do wish sometimes that I stayed closer to home, but then again, I'm glad that I did go half way across the country because now I can say that I've experienced things that California doesn't have, such as weather and the lack of an ocean, and have a solid argument for living in the Golden State for the rest of my life after college.
Other than that though, this song just makes me really proud to be from California, and the Bay Area more specifically. I love it when I hear a song or something about how awesome California is. Also, this song makes me especially happy seeing as the only pro sports team I have cared about since I was a tiny child won the Pennant the other day and is going to the world series!!!
Yeah.
I mean seriously.... who doesn't love this guy?? Also, Posey + Wilson = total bromance, and I'm loving it.
Ok. Long rant over. Summary: I like my city... a lot. And I love the Giants. I don't like the midwest. Train is awesome. Buster Posey is a boss.
