Fresh Perspectives

             Since the Auburn game was on Thursday this year, many students took this ‘free’ weekend as a chance to go home and visit their family and friends.  I decided to travel the hour and a half to Charlotte, N.C. to stay with my brother.

             Friday night we ate a luxurious meal at none other than…Wendy’s.  You gotta love the 99 cent menu, and especially the crispy chicken sandwiches!  I can’t tell you how many nights Wendy’s has saved my life.  In high school, after being out doing whatever high school kids do late at night, all the girls would pile in one car.  We’d turn on one of those songs that everyone and their mom knows…you know, Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing”, Lynard Skynard’s ‘Sweet Home Alabama’, or Tom Petty’s ‘Free Fallin’.  Then, we’d make our way towards the Wendy’s drive-thru.  After we got our orders, the car would be silent for 10 minutes while everyone devoured their food!  It was great!! Alright though, enough reminiscing about Wendy’s. (Can you tell I’m hungry?!)

            On Saturday, I went shopping, well more like looking since I didn’t actually buy anything.  Then I visited my grandparents.  We ate dinner at Cracker Barrel…what is it with old people and Cracker Barrel?  (I know…food again!)  But really, is it just me or do all old people like Cracker Barrel?  Who knows…

            Anyway, it was great to get away for the weekend, but at the same time, it’s nice to be back in good ole’ Capstone!  I have a busy week ahead of me with a huge English paper due Thursday and some math quizzes…wish me luck!
