This past weekend I went home for Easter. It was a nice break from the everyday hustle and bustle of school to relax for a change and see my family. Easter dinner is one of my favorite meals at my house. My mom makes honey-glazed ham, mac and cheese, an array of different vegetables, and of course lots of cake for dessert. My mom's homemade food is by far my favorite thing about going home. Eating the same thing day after day at school gets sickening especially when it isn't the healthiest, tastiest stuff. I was lucky enough to get to see my aunt who initially wasn't able to come and my neighbors who are like family to me. The weather was perfect all weekend allowing me a chance to throw a football outside with my dad, reminding me of summer.
Speaking of summer, it is hard to believe there are only three weeks left of school and finals of course until my freshman year of college is over. I don't wish it to be over, but at the same time I am really looking forward to this summer. This is probably the last free summer I will have because of my plans for internships and study abroad in the coming summers. Because of this, my parents planned an extra vacation to make this summer unforgettable. Besides our trip to Aruba in late July, my parents planned a Royal Caribbean cruise in May. It is on one of those new ships that are only around a year old and bigger than any other cruise ship. I've wanted to go one of those ships since i first learned they were being launched and get a little more excited everyday. In addition, every summer we have a family reunion at my mountain house overlooking Lake George, NY where around fifteen of us come together over fourth of July and enjoy the outdoors. The main thing about this summer, is being able to hang out with all my friends, both old and new. Swimming, barbecues, golf, the beach, and just being outside are some of the best things to do. I cannot wait for summer, but at the same time, I don't want this year to end.
