Live for the moments other people don't notice

As spring break comes closer here at UMaine, and I am stuck up here the whole time working, I start remembering my past spring breaks.  Though I have not gone any where tropical or warm I have a had a few good spring breaks.  My favorite by far was Freshman year.



My best friend Molly is from Worcester, Mass and she and I were inseparable, so needless to say we spent spring break together.  It started with us renting a hotel room in Bangor so we could stay here and watch the UMaine vs. UNH hockey game, which was great.  We are huge hockey fans, and watching them beat our rival school was awesome.  We then road tripped 5 hours south to Worcester where we stayed for a few days with her family.  Her family is amazing and have become a huge part of my life and getting to know them for those few days was so much fun.  We met our boyfriends in Boston and ate and shopped for the whole day.  The weather was perfect and the atmosphere in Boston is amazing.  After we had spent the majority of our money we all went back to Molly's house and had a little barbecue even though there was still snow on the ground.


After a few more days at Molly's house my boyfriend and I drove back to Maine where we stopped for one night at my house in Gorham, and then continued on our way to Camden where my boyfriend lived.  Camden is a beautiful town and we just drove around and looked at all of the beautiful houses and beaches.  I met my boyfriends family for the first time, and met all of his friends from home.  We went to a house party at his friend from high school's house, where I felt out of place, but still had a great time regardless.  The following day his parents, who are Greek, made a dinner that I at first was terrified of.  The main dish was lamb.  I had never eaten lamb and never thought I would, but in fear of being rude I tried it anyway, to my surprise I loved it.  It was great eating and laughing with his parents and brother, but sadly after dinner I had to head out on my way back home.  I spent the remainder of my spring break with my family, which was relaxing and nice, but I seriously missed my friends.

Spring break always comes at the perfect time, and even though I haven't gone anywhere special I have spent it with some of my favorite people in the world.  I have learned that it does not matter where you are it really only matters who you are with.  My friends and I can have the best time doing absolutely nothing, which really comes in handy up here in boring old Orono.
