Go Captains!

I'm finally in college! I've officially moved in and settled down in my new home at Christopher Newport University. I've been looking forward to this all summer. Everyone's been asking me what I'm most excited about and people usually expect things like "I'm finally free from home!" or "Party all the time!" or just being independent. But I'm actually most excited about starting my classes and getting work done.

Lame, I know. But I wasn't always like this! I was actually not a fan of school at all until a few months ago.

Food is Love

I am currently on vacation in the mountains in upstate New York so I'm trying to spend less time with the electronics and more time with nature and family, but I just had to put my two cents on here before snoozing on a hammock.

We drove up here from DC and it took us a good 6 hours to reach this giant house in the middle of nowhere. And since the closest grocery store is 20 miles away, we figured it would be a good idea to take a few food items for the first 2 days and buy the rest there. Apparently that translated into taking half our kitchen. So the morning of our departure, we are faced with 4 bags of clothes, 2 backpacks, my sister's guitar and 6 bags of food.

I don't know if this applies to all ethnic groups but any Indian event, holiday or gathering is focused around the food. I think it's the funniest thing in the world.
