B.R.E.A.K.

It’s Mid-Sem and campus is barren. Dining Services is shut down, the Library is locked up and there are a total of 3 people on my floor, including my RA. Mid-Sem has the ability to be very, very boring, for those of us staying on campus, so my friends and I made sure to rock break like it’s never been rocked before. 

Step One: Build a giant fort. My roommate went home for the weekend, so my friend, Emma, and I took the opportunity to turn my empty room into a party. It covers my entire room, except for a couple feet right inside the door. Taking a picture of it was actually a little difficult because of the vastness of it, but I did what I could. It took a lot of blankets and some duct tape, but it was totally worth it. Now my empty room is a lot more inviting and we have a cool club house to hang out in.   

Step Two: Be lazy. The best part of break is not having school and not having classes means a chance to be super lazy. Nothing but sweatpants and shorts and lots of movies and junk food. Since DS is closed, and I have no desire to cook anything more difficult than pizza, I’ve had a lot of ramen, easy mac and raw cookie dough. Pop Tarts and nachos are also common favorites. 

Step Three: Take the time to do things never done before! I’ve been learning how to long board which is both super fun and hard. Since no one is on campus, the sidewalks are completely empty which is prime time to take a long board around. I’ve been having so much fun with the board I borrowed from my RA, I actually just purchased my very own. It’s scheduled to come on Thursday! My friends and I also went to the mall to look at Forever 21 (which just opened!) and to pet all the adorable puppies. We found an adorable one and named it Bruce Wayne and almost took it back with us. But I guess the college has rules about having dogs in dorm rooms…  I also got my lip pierced, which was super scary but also very exciting. It still hurts a bit, but it was a lot of fun.

Break has been a pretty good time, even though it could have been potentially really boring and lonely. My friends are the best for wanting to have a crazy time with me. I guess now that I’ve done all that, I should maybe get a start on all my homework.
