Its days like this when I ask myself the same old question... What am I doing going to college in central Pennsylvania? Tempted to skip out on finals and head home for the day.
i'm in the exact same boat as you. **** finals and center county PA, really wish i coulda been out there today and tomorrow morning
Take it from me don't skip finals. There will be other days of great surf once you have school behind you. If you choose to live like me you will get all the waves you want now and will struggle to get it together in your mid 40's. Thankfully I was lucky enough to surf all I wanted and worked a profession that lets me surf every swell even now. From what I see of my middle aged friends my situation is very, very rare.
I spent 7 years in Baltimore!! I was getting a graduate degree and some serious experience. Now I am back in Jerz. Tomorrow I'll be taking one of my 20+ paid days off a year to get some swell. Life is all about choices my friend.
what are you doing there? Getting an education. Be grateful that your biggest problem in life is that you cant catch a swell.
I chose to go to college inland last year. Bad choice. I had a great time but found myself checking the surf report no less then if i lived at home, maybe even more. I remember being wasted as hell calling the wave buoy, thinking of the boys at home. I'm taking this year off to travel and next year its back to school. On the coast 100%.
Ya, agreed. Every one of us who went to school inland goes through the same thing, sorry to be away from the waves when then are pumping.... BUT, you'll get over it easy enough, I've been there.
Same, On the mainline PA, but I have two finals today, and its too hard for me to come home other than weekends. I get home Tuesday night, pumped for DP Wednesday morning!
i'm at Penn State, was looking at the wave cams for today and i really wanted to go out in OC. where are you guys at?
I'm at bloomsburg, just 45min east of psu off rt. 80. it sucks. Not just because its in the middle of nowhere but its just not for me. i went to psu for the temple psu game, it was awesome. But, im going to uncw next fall so im stoked, and no it's not JUST because its on the coast. For now im getting my credits and just waiting and wishing for May where i'm going to be wondering around socal for a few weeks.
dude be greatful that you get breaks from school . I work 60 hours on the average each week and when I am not doing that I have 3 kids I have to get on the bus in the moring and take care of before I go to work. If its really good I can get my mom to come by in the morning cause she knows that you have to get it when its good .
Matt, That's very tough schedule not to mention the additional responsiblity of 3 kids and then have time to baby sit this forum My hat goes off to ya Bro don't how you do it
at Gettysburg College, 4 hours to my home beach, Lavallette, NJ, and 4 hours from Ocean City Maryland. Just finished finals today and heading home tomorrow for a month. Hoping for some waves while I'm back.
