Excerpt

It's late on a school night. I sound like am I still in high school, because here at college people don't say school night. They say that they have class tomorrow. I realize this only now and wonder how many times I have said "un-college" things in the past year. I miss high school to be perfectly honest. I miss a lot of things. My home is hundreds of miles away, my friends are scattered across the Midwest, my girlfriend is no longer my girlfriend, and my parents are not here to take care of me. Am I afraid to grow up? I'm sure many would say so. My problem is that I want to be Peter Pan, only I want to keep my parents and Wendy with me forever.
