I will test hypothesis 2‚ which will include

You may not realize it‚ but you will appreciate being close to home” my father told me as senior year of high school came to an end. 18 years living in the same house with my family made me want to get as far away from California as I could for college.

As a naïve 18-year-old‚ I figured I no longer
