Easter Break

So today is monday, meaning class has started once again and the long weekend has ended. Now for most people easter weekend was a great way to go home and see family and friends. I have traveled home for every long weekend and holiday thus far in college but I felt ready to be alone on one and not run home to mom and dad.

Now there were a few reasons I stayed in wilmington this break I will share a few with y'all. Now the first one was to hang with my peeps at the beach. Wednesday night and thursday morning I got to meet Lindsey Moore, Brittney's sister, (who I may have already known before but we were not facebook friends) and hang with Ellen G (no she is not a g its her last name). I have not hung out much with Mike Santry or Brittney Moore as much as I would have liked too since I got to college. We got to hit up a nice restaurant and the beach and it was a really fun time hanging out. 

Now Friday got fun too. Thursday night I was informed that my bro Thomas, who is going to UNCW next year with me, was going to come down and visit and I spend Friday morning with some of my best friends from GH Thomas, Pete, Nick Blaiser, and Bradford even hit up the beach with us. I did have to cut out to go to work though.

Now saturday is where my main reason for staying came into play. My best friend in the NC D.C. Hit up the dub. Along with my sister Hoskie, aka Allie. Now she have never visited me in college up until this point so it was pretty fun to hit the beach with her and D.C.

So besides hanging at the beach with friends why did I stay in the dub for easter? Well I did get to work a good amount of hours at Harris Teeter. So hopefully come next monday I will have enough money saved up to make all my car payments for may through july. Sure that is only three months but that is $450 meaning the money I save up for the next month or so can be my summer spending money before saving up for more car payments.

Now the real reason I stayed in wilmington came into play saturday night. Self reflection. I knew I would have my room to my self and for the first time in a while without sticking myself in the library or gym or the library I could sit somewhere without someone talking to me. Now I have been at college for what 8 months now and I wanted to take some time to see if I am really the person I wanted to be when I got here. Now a lot has changed since august and my reflection came full circle with a conversation I had with Jesse saturday night. Jesse is one of my closer friends I would like to think here at the dub. He is also the only one I confide information in. He is like my Go to guy to talk too.

In the end I realized I am not completely on the track I wanted to be on and I have some work to do to get there. Starting going to church was a good first step. Getting a job and buying my first car was another step I took to being independent. I will have my own phone plan next month. But I also have other things I wanted to do when I got to college. I am truly mature in the core but for some reason I work really hard to act immature, to use "lines" to say "thats what she said" and make everything dirty. Things that would be "funny" if said maybe once every week or so but used every five minutes make me seem dumb, immature, like an attention whore, ect ect. So I think for the moment I know the path I want to take and will do my best to get there. In a few months I may be there or I may not we shell see. Nothing happens over night. 

Enjoy the week to come
