Greenville, Pennsylvania

At the time of this writing, since March 2016 I have made seven trips to and from Greenville, PA. This is only a six hour drive but it feels like it is taking a lot longer. Ohio is horrible, construction is worse than in Michigan.  

Jenyfer, my youngest daughter, applied and was accepted to Thiel College in 2016. March 2016 was her orientation and then we made trips in August for move in day, November for Thanksgiving and December for Christmas break. In January 2017 we came back because Christmas break ended and then in May the trip was made for the end of the year pick up day. That weekend did not go well, mom came with me, the whole weekend was a disaster. It ended with having to get a storage unit for half of Jenyfers things because we couldn't fit everything in moms car.  

Now I'm here again, Jenyfer has a job that she committed too, it requires her to be here twice in June and once in July and then of course we have move in day in August for her Sophomore year. It just keeps going and going. At this point Jenyfer is not sure if she will stay in Pennsylvania after she graduates or if she will come back to Michigan. This trip we were able to pick up the rest of Jenyfers things from the storage unit. Thankfully it all fit in my car. 

If you have children and they are planning to go to college, make sure they stick close to home or have a good car of their own to drive back and forth so you don't have to make the trip for each break, drop off or pick up, this is exhausting.
