Post#1The Beginning

  Taking a step back and looking at my 4runner all packed up for a road trip wasn't a new experience for me, I have driven solo out to New Mexico twice during my time in high school when my dad and stepmom lived there so I am not new to packing up my things and driving off to a new place. Stepping back this time though I knew it was a bit different. I wasn't going to be coming back home in a couple months and North Carolina was going to be my new home and added to the places I have lived and I couldn't wait!


 
    My mom and I drove down together In three days and two nights which was very leisurely. The first night, Friday we drove to New Jersey and spent the night in a hotel, the Saturday was a bigger day and we made it to Virginia where we spend the night camping at Kiptopeke state park in my Roof top tent which was a pretty spot but rained most the time which was too bad. The next day we made it to brevard and our journey there was done and my new one had just begun. Though we spent pretty much our whole time in the car while traveling down here It was really interesting to see how not only the landscape changed but how the environment and atmosphere did as well. Things are definitely very different here which is cool but has been engrossing to get used to and look forward to becoming more comfortable with. 🕺

    Hey Adan, loved the post and I hope you will enjoy your time here in the south. We do some things differently down here than up north. My family did the same trip to settle here as you recently have and they love it here. If you ever have any questions about living down here, or if you ever want to know fun places near by, feel free to ask.

 Yesterday I went wheeling with a buddy who I've been following on Instagram for a while but had never met. It turns out he graduated from Brevard a couple years ago and we met playing golf with a few of my friends who knew him from when he was here. We hit it off on the course and Thom said he would take it out with him which is what we did. It was a lot of fun! His rig is very nice and much more built out than mine so I was a little bit worried about whether I could keep up with him on the trail. It turns out I was able to and it wasn't too difficult it was just very narrow, I got a lot of new pinstripes on my paint. His FJ got through with a lot less difficult but my 4Runner did completely fine and I was happy with its performance for mostly stock besides suspensions and tires. We got some fire pictures and rolling shots which was fun and I am looking forward to going out again soon on some more trails around here because it is so beautiful and always a blast to be outside i...

Post#7 UNC Chapel Hill

 Last weekend I went to visit my cousin who goes to UNC-Chapel Hill. I left early Saturday morning for the 4-hour drive to be there by the 12 o'clock kick-off time football had against 8-0 Wake Forest. I immediately loved the vibes I got when I arrived on campus. there were so many people walking around and going to the game, massive parties outside, and music. We met up by his dorm and then went to the game. it was really good, they were playing pretty evenly as they went back and forth with the touchdowns. in the end, after some pretty exciting plays and turnovers, the Heels won 58-55. After the game, we rushed the field with the rest of the fans and that was insane. it was really sick to be playing around with the music and all the players around us as well. Then we went to dinner at the cafe, which was amazing because the food was so good, a nice change from our food here which sadly isn't always the best or most exciting. Then we went to his dorm for a bit before walking a...

     M any of us worry about meeting new people and making friends when going or visiting new places, which is understandable but What I have come to find out for myself is that it really isn't as nerve-wracking as it may initially fell ahead of time. The best way to get started when you are beginning from scratch is to find people who have a commonality with you, for example, it could be sports, music, outdoor activities, art, etc.  Because when you spend time with people who have those similar interests you will then meet even more people who are similar to yourself and you will form a tighter bond quicker. For me, this has been helpful to have found and understood for living at a boarding school, Joining different soccer clubs, working, and now going to college. Most of my best friends I have made through soccer and that is continuing here at Brevard. My dad always told me that I will make friends in college that will last my whole life, I know he did because he s...
