What Exactly Is "The Middle"?

That is an excellent question, sir! "The Middle" is a sort of limbo, where I was born and bred like a prize Chicken, I AM THE 75% as I like to say. I grew up in a middle class home (NOT UPPER MIDDLE, Middle). I have one sibling, in a four bedroom house with two dogs, and two parents. I had a 3.6 in high school (enough to get into an awesome school, but not enough to get an awesome scholarship and afford said awesome school). I attended two years of  college at a state school, worked 30 hours a week, I'm 5'3 and the average size of an American woman (Hungry, Crystal Renn). I am "The Middle" and I am desperately trying to escape it. I'm from an area where people are born, have children (often to young) and then die. Sounds epic right? Well, in an attempt to better myself, I lit my ass on fire and flung out like a bottle rocket. Sooner or later I had to face the cruel light of day, I was broke, completely and udderly (get it, like a cow? Whatever.)  broke and the next two years were not going to be free, a five month job search turned out nothing and unlike Chelsea Settles, I was forced back to my homeland. Here I must survive on my own, until I finish my degree and can return to civilization. As if that isn't enough, I have chosen an impossible career field and want to make a breakthrough. If that wasn't enough, I know for a fact that my sanity (or really, what's left of it) can't survive another minute in "The Middle". So, I am trying to make the best of my time there and bring some happiness to every situation. (Or at least try for the first couple of weeks, then give up). Because if "The Middle" has taught me anything, it's to rely on television to build your expectations. I like to remember that "If you shoot for the Moon and miss, you'll still be near the stars." That's where I wanna be, among the stars, preferably Conan 'O Brian.
