Lifescouts: Sunrise

Hello!

At this moment I really should be doing homework or working on my RA application but who really wants to do that. Instead I'm going to tell you about my sunrise experience(s).

This past summer my five close girl friends and I decided that we wanted to roadtrip to Wilmington, NC where Dawson's Creek was filmed. (Also One Tree Hill but we like Dawson's Creek better). Since it's about a five hour drive from where we live, we decided to meet at some ridiculous time like 5:30 in the morning to give us time to get lost and have a good solid day in Wilmington. We did our research and planned out the places we wanted to visit that were the location of notable scenes from the TV show. As we are driving to Wilmington, we were able to see the sun rise from the car. It wasn't the most amazing view but it's still a sunrise. And because we spent so much time at Wilmington and it does take that long to get back, we were also able to watch the sunset. It was an amazing day and something I'll remember for a while. Sure we had hiccups along the way but it was an experience nonetheless. Plus, I got to cross my desire of taking a roadtrip with friends off of my bucket list.

You may be wondering why I wrote "experience(s)" earlier. Well this next story wasn't something I was actually awake for but got to hear the story a little later. My group of friends from high school planned out our prom like no tomorrow. This of course didn't prevent any "prama" (prom drama) by any means but we knew we wanted to go to take pictures, eat dinner together, attend after prom, and then have our own little after after prom. Some of my friends were determined to stay up all night because it was prom and what else would you do. So they played some Mario Kart and talked like any good nerdy teenagers. Then because they were still awake and it was that early in the morning, they wanted to watch the sunrise. Now keep in mind that they had been up for at least 20 hours straight so of course they were delirious. Somehow one of my friends was called a Snorlax from Pokemon and another one of my friends became convinced that a lamppost in the street was the sun. In fact she said, "Guys the sun isn't moving" to which my friends all responded, "The sun is over there..." It was way more funny and entertaining in the moment than what you're probably thinking at this moment but whenever I hear that story it just makes me love my friends even more.
