Summer Vibes

Wow! That’s all I can pretty much say...wow. What began as what I thought would be the most boring summer of my life turned out to be probably the most influential 3 months of my first 18 years. As school was about to end all my friends began regaling their plans for life. From moving to California to moving to India,  I was happy for all of them but I knew they could never be replaced. I would wake up thinking " oh wow me and my friends are going to do everything today," until I would remember they are half way across the world. What was i going to do the whole summer?! Then out of the blue one day both friends texted me and said they were coming to Chicago for the summer. I could have not been more ecstatic! They arrived and we began the planning hour by hour for the rest of the summer. From fishing, to wrestling, to rock climbing, to just chilling by the bonfire, it was everything I had wanted. After summer ended, I had realized that all the fun was amazing but I also had learned something. You never appreciate the true value of something until you lose it. The fact that I valued their trip back to Chicago made it all that much more worthwhile.
