Shopping Time!

     After a tough week inundated with assignments, papers, and exams, Spring Break is highly anticipated. I just can't wait to be home and wake up with my mom's cooking and my bed where I can sleep endlessly without getting disturbed by forty different alarms on my floor.

      But something that I always miss are my high school friends. When all my friends go back home for Thanksgiving or Christmas, they have the opportunity to catch up with friends they have known for almost their whole life time. Since I just moved here, I don't have that advantage—unless I take a thirteen hour flight to Japan.

      When I do go back home, I enjoy the luxuries of having cooked meals, resting from laundry and showering without my flip flops. But I miss having people my own age where I can just talk about clothes and music. So that's why I'm going to visit my college friends in Long Island.

       Apparently, this Long Island hangout session that we'll be having is not for a relaxation outside of campus. We'll be doing a sport, shopping.

Friend: “Sal, we need to take you shopping...for American clothes (smiles)”

Me: “WHAAT? I'm wearing everything from AMERICA right now and what are you even talking about?”

Friend: “No, I don't believe you—it doesn't look it ahahaha”

       I don't quite understand how I don't look like I'm wearing “American” clothes. I gave her a list of where all my clothes were from and she still doesn't believe that my closet is all from American brands. What does this mean anyway?

       I will be excited but afraid of what's going to happen this Spring Break. Only time will tell...
