labor day plans.

i decided to go home for labor day weekend, seeing as most of my friends were leaving campus too and it would be good to go home to see friends and family because i do not know when i will make the trip back to woodruff again.  i also wanted to see some woodruff friday night football, which is a very big deal in my hometown and one of the things i miss most since moving away.  so, i was excited to get back on friday and get to w.l. varner stadium to see the kickoff and see all my high school friends again.  i sat with my best friend, as always, on the thirty-five yard line and cheered for my wolverines, although it was not quite the same because it was no longer my school or my peers playing on the field.  it was still a good game, although we lost by one point.  after the game, i visited with everyone on the field and got to see my two favorite coaches, and of course, me and my friends made a usual post-game friday night run to waffle house.  saturday, i spent the day with my family and we went and ate at lake lure with my aunt and uncle, where my aunt told me she was getting a “blueberry” [instead of a blackberry].  saturday and sunday night, though, i spent the night with my best friend.  it definitely took me back to the old days when we were in high school.  we had our usual late night sonic runs, skype dates in the middle of the night, stories to tell, movies watched again and again because we keep getting distracted, and all nighters.  it was good to get a taste of those good memories that i loved so much in high school because i no longer have them at my fingertips since moving to Columbia.  i had a great, lazy, fun labor day weekend, that made me miss my high school days, although, it made me realize that although i have been gone only three weeks, i have moved on from my high school career and have to cherish the memories made and the ones to come, as well as appreciate the friends i have made throughout my time in woodruff and keep the ones most important close.
