Adjusting does not mean forgetting

Where I lived wasn't something I really noticed until I left for college. All of a sudden half of my friends were on the other side of the country, the other half were spread across the East Coast in every state but New Jersey, and one had taken off for Germany.In high school, my only concept of geography was how to get from Santa Monica to the valley without having to deal with traffic on Interstate 405.
