Most people, especially college students, make big plans for when spring break finally comes around. I went home. To me, the ability to relive some great memories with great people will always outweigh going to the beach. Yes, I'd rather go home to the middle of nowhere and spend time with my friends than go chill on Panama City Beach. Some people would judge me for that. In the end, the people I grew up with will always have my heart. In Auburn, I have friends but I also know people who would backstab you in an instant.

Yes, that's just how life is but when you spend years with people, you learn who you can trust so only the good ones are left.

Every time I come home to Paulding County, I always have a list of people that I need to see or else the week just isn't complete. Ewan, Dalton, and Maddy to name a few.

Growing up I was depressed quite a bit. I lived with anxiety and some of the situations that I found myself in escalated things so much further. These people, my friends, always made me feel better, could always make me smile and always were there for me when it felt like my world was falling apart.

Some of the memories I have with these people are absolutely ridiculous but of course, those are the ones you remember. Maddy and I met in psychology my sophomore year and we've been friends since. We have so many inside jokes that involve her selling our children on the black market (no that's not what you think), and "Hawiiwii."

Dalton and I met in sophomore year as well. We have very similar senses of humor and because of that, he made me spit milk out of my nose more than once (disgusting, I know). When I'm home and bored I always end up at his apartment and we chill, talk crap about random things, and play with bikes or airsoft equipment.

Ewan and I met in maybe the junior or senior year and worked together in JROTC for that time. He saw me get frustrated over the stupidest things and has been dragged along on so many "adventures" (aka I'm bored and want to go to the park or something). I spent holidays at his house and we have so many mutual friends that it's almost laughable.

This is a very basic idea of our relationship. These are the people that I love to be around, talk to all the time and won't forget. Honestly, Paulding County isn't my home anymore, but these people always will be.

I love you guys!
