I was on winter break for exactly a month & I still don’t think it was long enough. It’s not that I did anything exceptionally exciting or visited anywhere cool (although I did take a tour of the White House, even though I didn’t get to see Barack or Michelle). But I just enjoyed being back in Hampton with my old friends & lying in bed until 2 or 3 pm. It was really nice to see all of these people. I got to see some of my BEST friends & we had an amazing time together. We watched movies, went clubbing, & got piercings/tattoos. Any normal thing that a college student on break does. Some parts of my break were great but some parts of it were a great big letdown.
One of the best parts of the break was buying 2 fish! Although 2 of them died within a week, 2 of them are still alive & swimming! I hope they’re not dead when I come home for spring break. My mom is supposed to be taking care of them but I have a feeling that she might forget about them. She didn’t kill me in 18 years so hopefully she’ll be able to take care of 2 fish. It was very special to me because the first time I went, I went with a very close guy friend of mine. And then the 2nd time around I went with one of my best friends in the world.
Christmas really wasn’t all that great for me. All I got was money. Nobody really put any thought into the gifts that they gave me. On Christmas morning I didn’t have the chance to run downstairs and unwrap anything. It was very disappointing for me. And it’s not the fact that I didn’t get what I wanted, it’s that nobody cared enough to actually think my gift through. I also feel like I missed out on some of the Christmas experience by not being able to open any presents. I guess I’ll have to wait until the last day of March to open up any gifts.
There were so many funny moments that my friends & I had over break. One of my favorites is when we went to ODU to go to a party. We were at the house of a friend of a friend in Norfolk (which is a scary neighborhood to begin with) and as soon as we walk through the door these guys start fighting! Then, one of the guys goes upstairs & gets a SHOT GUN. A real, legit shot gun & he puts bullets in it & everything! This was definitely scary for 3 girls from sheltered Hampton. We were all genuinely scared when it happened but afterwards it’s hilarious! Who carries a shot gun, anymore???
But anyways, I’m at 500 words so I’m going to quit writing now. Good night!
WOW!!! that is really scary to walk into a party and someone goes and gets a shot gun!! I am glad to hear that there is someone else who was not bored over break :)
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE SO BRAVE!! I would be absolutely terrified if there was a guy holding a shotgun within a few yards from me! I am glad you liked Washington D.C. I live like 45 minutes-1 hour away from there and I still haven't toured the White House. Oh and I am sure your fish will be fine!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty crazy that a guy whipped out a shot gun, I'm glad that's never happened to me!
ReplyDeleteWTF??? It's never good when someone pulls out a gun at a party...no matter what! ...That aside, sounds like an awesome break. What kind of piercing or tattoo did you get? I want to see, if it's appropriate. :) "My mom didn't kill me in 18 years so she should be able to take care of some fish" made me laugh. Finally (wow I'm enthusiastic), that's a great picture. You should let the people in your group know how to post pictures if they don't already know and want to (I know, it's really not hard AT ALL) -- for some reason people don't seem to know how to do it, and it always adds a lot to your post.
