As school is officially and forever winding down for me, I have mixed feelings. I’m finding it awfully bittersweet that I have to leave the home I have built for myself for the last four years. This is where I did some real growing up, as opposed to my real hometown. I can count my close friends here on one hand and I like that. I know my favorite restaurants here and my messy room is somewhat endearing.
The saving grace to all this bittersweet emotion? Martha’s f-ing Vineyard. My home away from home. Every time I think of this little island I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. When you first hear me say this sweet little vacation spot, you may think I am a rich, stuck up, yachty. Think again! I don’t stay in a huge mansion on the water or shop all day. I sleep on my best friend’s parents couch and eat dinner with them at night. I work my buns off in sky scraper heels and praise my days off so I can get to South Beach and sip cold Coors. I have a lot of good friends there and it really feels like a home to me. Heres what I really can’t wait for:
1. Aforementioned beers…
2. Jimmy Seas pound of pasta in a skillet
3. Tara’s Mom and Pop
4. Eden runnin’ free and wave surfin’
5. Old friends
6. Sharky’s everything
7. Taste of the Vineyard…which I have bought my coveted ticket for
8. Freedom from things that have held me down here
…Lets just be there now…
