The wanderlust college students feel during their spring semester can only be compared what some migratory birds feel when the seasons change. My friends and i are no different. In fact, we're about as college as you can get in a roundabout way as we enjoy the concept, the stereotype, of being collegiate. We felt that same pull to travel for a few years but generally lacked the funds that make such reckless poorly planned thousand mile drives plausible. This year was different though.; Something was in the air. Mostly snow at the time. We wanted to escape. We needed to escape and as Malcolm, the tall mathematician in Jurassic Park, once said "Life will find a way." More concretely, we found Will.
One of my roommates began an extremely long distance relationship with a girl who used to go to school with us. Her name was Meg and she volunteers in Louisiana for a program called Teach For America. This travel log is the result of shoving six people into a well used Chevy Astro van and driving from Ohio to Louisiana in order to see Baton Rouge and New Orleans and one man to see his significant other. Let the misadventures begin.
