Free Write- Tempe

My internship has brought me back to my hometown of Sacramento, CA. It had been just about a year since I have been back to Tempe. I can honestly say I miss living in Tempe. I know many Californians that move to Arizona don't always share my opinion due to the weather but I grew accustomed to the heat, or at least how to handle it. It has brought thoughts of possibly moving back to Arizona some day in the future. But I begin to think what about Tempe do I miss. I know I miss my friends for one. Although I am in contact with a lot of my friends I met as a Sundevil, a majority of them have also left Tempe in search of careers. Another aspect I miss is the town atmosphere. My experience in Tempe was a that of friendly people and not much worrying about violence when out in public. Sacramento is not the same any aspect. Sacramento is better compared to phoenix in that it is congested and diverse, not everyone if friendly and helpful, and going out in public reminds me that I should be aware of my surroundings in certain areas. I think when its comes down to it I miss the college town atmosphere and the experience I had living in Tempe. I look forward to going back for a visit soon to see friends and catch a football game, hopefully when the team starts playing better though....
