Rachel Demita on coming back to Los Angeles: "soul draining"

As reported by The Spun (about coming back to her native city) Demita earlier said:

"I’m back here now for work and every time I’m here I feel like it gets harder and harder for me to be here. It’s like the minute I touch down is the minute I wanna get the f--- out. I don’t know how else to describe it but… soul draining.”

She added:

"I feel an entire energy shift. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve grown up a little bit. My priorities have changed. Everything is really expensive here like for no reason."

Demita was also awarded a division 1 full-ride scholarship to Old Dominion University in 2008. She is no longer only a TV personality; she now runs a blog about sports and daily life.
