My first day back at UNC Charlotte included a beer, a blow-up mattress, Jack in the box, and Madden NFL 19. My day began by driving two and a half hours from Raleigh to Charlotte. I opened up my music app on my iPhone and pressed shuffle. The drive wasn't so bad, but I did run into traffic that added 30 minutes to my arrival time. I dreamt of arriving in Charlotte and starting my senior year at the apartment I signed a lease for back in January, but instead, I'm staying at my friend's apartment for two weeks.

The apartment I was supposed to move into the week before school started isn't fully built yet, so all residents had to stay somewhere that isn't the apartment we are paying for. I wasn't going to let my unfinished apartment destroy the start of my senior year, so as I arrived in Charlotte multiple friends called me asking where I was. I decided to go see my "roommates" who were staying somewhere that wasn't the apartment we are currently paying for.

I talked to them for about an hour and then I left to go to my other friend's apartment to drop off my stuff. I settled into his apartment before being picked up by my roommates and we went to another friends house to play Madden NFL 19. Playing Madden NFL 19 for the first time was frustrating because I didn't win, but I was determined not to let my living situation or losing Madden ruin my day.

When we left our friends house we decided to drink a little, but a little turned into a lot. We were hyping each other up to keep drinking because this was the beginning of our senior year. A few beers turned into several, and the rest of the night was a blur. I don't remember 20% of my day, but the other 80% was okay I guess. Here's to an amazing senior year!
