Little Sisters and the Pack-man
I know most of you out there can't wait to get away from home and finally experience college life. With many of your senior years coming to an end, I'm sure you're all thinking, "AHHHH, my parents are driving me crazy." Well....been there, thought that. But now, I'm here to tell you differently. Guys, I don't care how 'macho' you are and girls, it doesn't matter if you're completely independent...you WILL miss home and you WILL look forward to going back for a short visit every once in a while.
This past weekend, I got the chance to do just that. I only went home for one night, but now I'm completely refreshed for a busy week with a huge English midterm and another Art test. And what did my one night and two days consist of...hanging out with my little sister and playing with our new puppy Pack (named after N.C. State's mascot, the Wolfpack).
Now, I'll have to admit, I'm still pretty new at the whole little sister thing (like I've said before, my dad got re-married last summer and I got a new little step-sister in the process). But, I just don't see how anyone could not want to have a younger sibling. (I'm sure that statement just got a few, "Oh, you just wait!" comments.) But really, you get an excuse to act like a little kid all over again! I watched a Disney channel movie called "Big Fat Liar" that truthfully was pretty good, and I also tried out the new shoe craze sweeping through elementary schools across the nation. The shoes are called Heelys because they have wheels on the heels. I'm sure you've seen some kid scootin' around in the mall or on a sidewalk somewhere. Well, yeah, huge props to those kids because I almost broke my neck trying wearing those things!
In addition to playing with Jess, I also got to meet the newest edition to the family....the little Pack-man! As you can see from the picture below, he's just the cutest chocolate lab puppy in the world.
So....that was basically my weekend. And just as a reminder to all of you high school seniors out there: spend a little extra time with the family before you head off to college because I promise, at one point or another, you'll miss them!
