PSP #2: Least Favorite Place

My least favorite place would have to be the train station. Ever since I moved away to college I have had to take the train in order to get back to my house in Orange County. Although it is only about a three hour or less drive, the train takes nearly four and a half hours to get there. I always thought that taking the train would be fun, but I quickly found out that that is not the case. Whenever I arrive at the train station even if I am going home, the environment immediately turns into a depressing one. People generally shy away from talking to one another and the people that do end up talking are usually either too loud or not interesting. I feel the generally train population consists of people leaving their homes or loved ones for an extended period of time which also contributes to the sad atmosphere. Trains and train stations just seem so outdated to me. It is definitely not the quickest or most comfortable way to travel. I usually just try to sleep my way through any train ride that I am on although the significant number of stops makes this task more difficult. I hope that after this year I will not have to visit a train station ever again. Luckily all of my roommates have cars so that should make this wish come true.
