Post#8 Saying Hi to Family

 After my cousin and I watched the game and before going out that night, we drove about an hour down the road to Southern Pines which is where my aunt and uncle and two cousins( one of them who I was with) live, as well as my great aunt and uncle. We stopped by my great aunt and uncle's house first to say hi for a bit and catch up. They were the ones who came to visit me and watch one of my games earlier during the season. Then we stopped at my aunt's and uncle's house to say hi to them and my other cousin. They didn't know we were coming so we surprised them which was fun. we stayed there for a bit and talked a good amount which was nice.  We also had to get a blow-up mattress and a pillow for the dorm room back at school. It was a lot of fo fun to do all that in a weekend and I look forward to seeing them all for thanksgiving as I will be going there for the break!

 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...
