Have you guys made big moves?

[Something-To-Say]

I've made 4, but the one that sticks out big time in my mind is the latest one. Summer after freshman year, I moved from Lincoln, NE to here in Scottsdale AZ. It's burning on my mind right now since graduation is here. I don't really have any strong friends here in AZ, and I had really good ones in Nebraska. The move was both bad and good. One the good side, I'd've never worked out and I'd be a stick figure. Also I'd never have gotten into basketball, never get as exposed to different cultures like I have now. On the bad side, obviously I'm missing my friends really bad now, there was a girl who I liked a lot and I think she liked me to an extent, but I wasn't good at talking to girls at all, something I've improved at a little. It's just ripping me apart to think of Nebraska, I can still see streets that I traveled down, the Amigos restaurant that I ate at with my friends, just about everything. And now it's Arizona, where I just know I don't belong, I'm not that great of friends with anyone in my senior class, and those that I like are going to other Universities so it doesn't matter.I wish I could just go back to Nebraska for a week and just walk around during school days, maybe follow around some of my old friends, who I'm sure are different, I know that 1 of them is in jail, 1 is dead, and 1 turned emo from what I hear, but I still want to go back. What I really want more than anything is to go back in time with the physical and mental condition I'm in now and go back to when I first moved to Lincoln when I was 11. I hate thinking about Nebraska because I puts me in the state I'm in at this very moment, my chest is somewhat constricted, I know the move was for the best but I long to go back but I can't and I know it's best not to. I hate having feelings...

Yeah, I know what you mean...You think about going to college in Nebraska? But that out of state tuition sucks...

 

[The Captain]

Nope, Metro-Detroit born and raised.

 

[LAZY]

I'm lucky to say I have never moved. I went to the same school Kindergarden through 12th grade. But moving to college was a move I guess, but only like a hour and a half away from home

 

[gentile]

I've lived in four states: Alabama, California, Georgia, and two cities in Michigan. It's like women - visiting places is fine, but there are few locales that really reveal themselves when you're just in and out.

I lived in Connecticut for 13 years until I moved to Florida before my freshamn year of highschool. Now im a junior and I still dont have any real friends here. I still visit my friends during summer and winter vacations and their still the same but all I do while im in Florida is play and watch sports which I have no problem with but it gets boring.

I got lucky, my parents wanted to move to North Carolina last year because of the hurricanes and sh*t here in Florida (they're insurance agents so its worse for them). I am very happy that we didnt move because I love Florida and I couldnt imagine leaving all my friends and family to go to a place that I really dont like.

I've lived in Michigan my whole live but in a very unstable forum. I have lived in 20 plus houses.It's made me who I am, but then again it was a pain in the ass all through school. I went to a ton of different schools...and most of them only right down the road from the other one..so it was frustrating. I never got a chance to make true friends in Elementary and middle school like a lot of people do. So by high school I had casual friends in each class and what not but it wasn't like the best friends no matter what kind of thing. Outside of school I hung out with my own group of friends..which was alright I guess..Now I find myself doing the same thing as my parents did. I stay in one apartment for a year and then I feel bored and wanna move again. I don't think it's really a bad thing..but for kids trying to build lives and friends in school it is and I will try not to do that to my kids when I have them.

I was born in Egypt - I moved when I was 3 or 4 so it wasn't too big of a deal. I don't remember it anyways...than I moved from Egypt to Novi, Michigan. There I went to elementary school and made some really close friends. After that I moved from Novi, Michigan to West Bloomfield, Michigan...there I went to middle school - I made some really good friends there too - probably most in my life because I still stay in contact with them. After Middle School, I moved to Bloomfield Hills for high school. I started off with absolutely no friends - and came out with a lot of life friends...I still see those people a lot.In college - in Detroit, it's totally different - I'm really friends with everyone, and I've even developed some close friends. So ya - I've moved a LOT!

 

[redneck]

I hate moving, luckily most everything I own can fit into the back of my truck and what can't I probably don't need. I especially hate moving my family, they own sh*t that they have absolutly no use for. like when my dad got kicked out of the trailer park, we had to find a way to move 3 cannons. I have no idea why the hell he needed them for, I guess he thought the Yankees were going to be attackin again. BTW, we did the typical hillbilly thing and loaded them onto pickups to finally move them.

 

[Memphology]

Born and raised in Memphis.I cant imagine moving away. I feel sorry for kids who move around alot though.

 

[STAT]

I've been born and raised here in AZ.

 

[ASUFan22]

I moved from Phoenix to Chandler.

That's it. I'm pretty lucky. My dad got some promotion offers to California, North Carolina and a couple other states but we never moved.

 

[tmgbball15]

I moved from Colombia over to NJ, at first it sucked, but I have gotten used to it

 

[P0W3RBALLIN]

I've changed homes about 3 times when I lived back in Oakland. They were all around the same area, and I have a lot of memories from back then. From 0-3, I lived in this house about 4 or 5 houses from my Grandparents old house, which has the most memories in my life. I moved to my cousins house after for a few years... and we finally bought our own house after a few years.. that was until like 5th grade.. and then we moved back to our cousins house again for a year..Then I moved to Castro Valley in 6th/7th grade, about 25 minutes eastbound from Oakland with a car ride on the freeway, ultra mega super rich white suburban area of the Bay Area.I'm gonna be here in CV for a while..

 

[CB4allstar]

No, I've always lived in Halifax, Ns, Canada...I've moved houses once when I was in grade 3...That really sucks STS, I can feel your pain....

 

[ElMaster]

I've lived in the same house all my life, and I think I'll never move, at least until I go away to college.

 

[Opal]

I was born in Dallas, then moved to Colorado when I was 1. That is all. My parents moved a lot before I was born, but now we have settled here. I love it.

I moved from Virginia to Dallas when I was 9. It was hard at that point, but I got over it.I don't know if moving from Dallas to College Station is a big move. It is far away geographically and a much different place socially, but it's not so different culturally. It was not a hard move for me that time.
