I am from Indianapolis, which is only about an hour and a half away from West Lafayette. It is very easy for me to make a trip home on the weekends because people are always offering me rides. If my friends lived in Indianapolis, I could see them very often. However, most of my friends have gone to different colleges far away, so it is hard for me to see them and I miss them a lot. I can not wait for spring break because I am going to make visits to the different colleges so that I can finally see my friends that I have not seen since Christmas break.
