Weekend

Last weekend was the best weekend I have had at home since I have been in college. Not only did I get to spend time with my family, but I also got to catch up with many of my friends from high school. I had an extra long weekend because I skipped school on friday so I could go home on Thursday. On Thursday, I spent 2 hours visiting my sweet grandparents and then later I went out with my friend, Ashlyn. Ashlyn and I went to meet up with some friends at a little restaurant kind of bar place. We were having so much fun until we realized it was almost two thirty in the morning. We got back to her house and Ashlyn, two other friends, and I chatted in the car for almost an hour. The next day, I got a call from my grandma saying she was having lunch. OH MY GOSH! I was so excited. I could smell the pork chops, rice, gravy, macaroni, and cheese cake from a mile away. My family was so happy that I was home to enjoy my grandmas good cooking. My brother, being sarcastic, wanted everyone to sing happy birthday to me even though my grandma just wanted to cook for me since I was home. I guess being the baby of the family isn't so bad after all. Friday night, I pretty much did the same thing as Thursday night and stayed up really late again. Saturday, I just rested and spent time with my mom and her pup. I was so sad when it was Sunday because I really did not want to leave my family and come back to school. At least I have my family and friends to look forward to when spring break comes.

Best Friend

Throughout my life, I have made many friends but it was not until I matured and realized what friends were true to me. When I was 2, I met Erika. Of course, I do not remember meeting her but our parents said we were scared to death of each other. Until we were in middle school, we were inseparable. Erika and I did everything together including shave our legs when we were 6 years old without shaving cream. Yes, we got into a lot of trouble but it is fun to laugh about now. When we went to different schools, we became distant but we still found time to see each other at dance, church, and on the weekends. Now that were older, we don't talk or see each other as much but when we do, it is perfectly normal. I can tell her anything and everything because I know she won't tell secrets or judge me like a fake friend would do. Our personalities may be completely different but I think that is why we get along so well. As people say, opposites attract. I could say so much more about our friendship but it would take me days. I know Erika will always be one of my dearest friends although we don't see each other much. She definitely deserves the Best Friend award in my book and I think it is safe to say she will be my maid of honor one day in my wedding.

Bedtime

I am very weird when it comes to bedtime or at least people say I am. I like to stick to the same routine as much as I can, so I can get a decent amount of sleep at night. First, I take a shower because I HAVE to be clean before I get in my bed. In the process of putting on my pjs, I check my closet and under my bed. I am not sure why I think there are monsters under my bed but I get really scared at night when I hear noises. On nights that I am really, really scared, I turn my night light on in my bathroom. Most of the time, I shut my door and lock it so it will be harder for the boogie man to get to me with a locked door. I've thought about sleeping with one of my roommates but I don't like sleeping with people at all. When I get in bed, I turn on my sound machine and my fan to block out any noise. The most important thing when going to bed is making sure I have my eye mask. Many people don't use an eye mask or know what it is but the last five years of my life, it has been a necessity. My eye mask is the one thing I can not live without. It is amazing when you want to sleep late the next day because it blocks out the sun coming through your window. Anyway, you're probably wondering how old I am and what is wrong with me? The truth is I really can't help I am a scaredy cat but in college, I don't have my daddy here to protect me. So, now you know my weird routines when getting ready for bedtime. 

Future

After I graduate from college and grow up, I plan to move to the Charleston area and find a job that is in the field of my major. Having family in Charleston, I have always enjoyed visiting on holidays and during the summer. My favorite part about Charleston is downtown where all of the shops and beautiful houses are located. My parents say that I will have to live with my grandma or cousins but I plan on living in an apartment downtown. Downtown is where I will meet my future husband unless I already have one on the list. I'm looking for tall, light brownish blonde hair, and blue eyes. Between he and I, our babies will be too cute. After we get married, I would love to move to the Mt. Pleasant area or even Isle of Palms in a nice neighborhood. I plan to name my child Poston after my great grandmas maiden name. I also like the name Baker. Who knows if my future plans will go as planned but for now that's what I'm sticking too. Hopefully some of it will work!
