SPRING ARBOR WAS SO FUN!!!

Alright where to start? Okay let's start off with the fact that I am HORRIBLE with directions.  I get lost going everywhere!! You can ask any of my friends they are all a witness... if i drive with people somewhere and they don't know where to go i almost think that i remember something and tell them where to go and get SO LOST! but... that's not the point. I started off to my trip to Spring Arbor, i don't have a GPS or anything so my parents were kind of worried because it about a two hour drive. With traffic and a bunch of detours that I had to take it ended up taking me a little under three hours. I WAS SUPRISED I MADE IT!

I met up with Emily at the McDonald's across the street and she showed me where to park and got my junk to her dorm:) I met her roomate Margaret, SHE'S SO GREAT! I am so happy that she lives with Margaret, they couldn't have picked a better roomie for her:) After that we were kind of hungry so we went to this place called Finley's restaurant. The whole time we were looking around and couldn't decide if it was a classy restaurant or a family restaurant? The menu was like a home diner but then they sold beer and wine and stuff like that. And then some people were dressed nice and others were in like jeans and a t-shirt... so we came up with the slogan "here at Finley's it's all about class" haha yeah they need to either go up or down. A little too inbetween. After we were done eating we continued our adventure to Meijer! We shopped for a little over an hour, got all the stuff that Emily needed for her dorm, went to pay and THERE WAS NO MONEY LEFT ON HER CARD! she forgot that it took a day to go through and she wouldn't have money til the next day so all of that shopping time went to waste.

Then we got back to the school and we decided to have a photo tour around campus! we went around taking pictures of some random things... Then she showed me the oak tree! its this enormous oak tree in front of her dorm and we wanted to take a picture by it... So we go up to the tree and em says "hey mar, let's pretend like we are climbing the tree!" i think it a great idea... Margaret goes to take a picture and just as the first flash flashes (it flashes twice) i jump up i the air pretending to be hugging the tree in the air... i jump up and the bark breaks out from under my hand and i fall straight back out of the tree... it wasn't too bad, it hurt but nothing major.  UNTIL a few minutes later i went to check my phone and the screen was wrecked on the inside and out! it was aweful.

After we were done with that we decided to meet up with some of her friends that were in her core. There was about 8 or so people in this little dorm room but it was pretty fun. Levi is in Emily's core. He is super funny! They all call him a "beach boy" or something like that because he is a lifeguard and stuff like that but he is really fun to hang out with. We were also with his sister Andra, Margaret, Erica, Garrett, Jordan, Claire, and a couple other people but i didnt get to know them as well. We ended up playing ten fingers and had to try to think of origional things because we were all trying to get to know eachother better. A little while after we couldn't think of stuff to say anymore we all decided to go to McDonald's. The lobby closes at 11 so after that we are allowed to walk through the drive through! So we waited until about 11:25 then walked through the drive through! What a thrill haha.

Coming back from McDonlads I ended up seeing one of my friends Jeremy Shankle who is best friends with one of my really good friends:) It was good to see him we got to talk flr a little bit and I got to meet his girl friend... She seems really nice! I guess someone had stolen her twilight posters and they had some big shaving cream fight or something like that, sounded pretty funny. haha

We went back to the boys dorm after that, U-hall. It's the new dorm on campus so the guys who live there are all really proud about living there haha they even made up a song called "u-hall is legit" hahaha. We got there and found a game sitting by the couch called boxers or breifs... It's kind of like apples to apples only not as good haha. We played that for a little while until we decided that it was a waste of time and some kid came in with a flash light... He comes in and they were all like "dude! were you just star tipping?" (also called star tripping but i like tipping better it makes me think of cow tipping lol) And he was like "yeah wanna go?" So we all go "star tipping"... we go outside, ps. its like 1:30 in the morning, and what you do, since its dark, is you stare up at like a star or the moon and spin around ten time while still looking at the moon. One you finish spinning someone stops you and shins a flashlight in your face... then out of nowhere you fall over without control. This was probably the best thing about my stay. SO FUNNY! watching people spin around then just fall over. I fell and like rolled our in a backwards somersault hahait was so fun though!

We got up for church the next morning. It was a pretty good service. We went and ate in the lounge after. Food wasn't very good:( oh well. When we were done with that we wanted to watch a movie so we borrowed ps. i love you from one of her friends and we went to the lounge but we saw that another core had reserved it for 2:00 and it was already 1:45 so we just waited til they got there to see what they were watching. They didn't have any movie planned and the boys voted no on ps. i love you so we ended up watching Nick and Nora's Infinate Playlist. I wasn't really a fan but whatever not that big or a deal.  Then we ate dinner. When we were done with that we just went back to her dorm and chilled for a little bit and i got a call from my parents and they wanted me to come home earlier so i didn't have to drive too late. Well I got directions off mapquest and headed out on my way. AHH!!! i ended up missing up one of my exits going south and I didn't realize it for awhile until i saw a water tower that said dundee on it. I was like "CRAP" so i called my dad and he was like get off now! so i got off just passed Ida in a little town called Petersville or something like that? Iwas just 2 miles from Ohio's border.  So I got off and it was pure cow town! there was no way on or off the interstate anywhere in sight! so i just kept driving hoping I would find something eventually. My dad was following me on his laptop telling me where to turn and what streets to take. After over 4 HOURS of being lost i finally found my way home:) i walk in the door and my dad was just like "you should probably get a GPS" haha so maybe someday soon i will invest in that:) who knows? But all in all I had a GREAT TIME! I loved being there it was so fun, I can't wait to go visit again!

Well that's all i have to say for now! Keep Following!!!
