I AM WOMAN: Memories of Spring Break

It only comes once a year, but it’s more special to me than any other holiday. This isn't one you can buy a Hallmark card for, though. I'm talking about Spring Break — also known as my personal refuge delivered from the gods. I relish in the entire week when I don't have to worry about deadlines, 8 a.m. classes, or papers. My brain shuts down to higher thinking and I'm left to do what I please.

This year I didn't travel anywhere exotic — partly due to my procrastination — but I did have fun. I went back to my hometown of Staten Island, where people say "dawg" instead of "dog" and "cawfee when they want a cup of joe, and, despite popular belief, it is one of the five boroughs in New York City. I stayed with my best friend since middle school for most of the time. And between the two of us we ran our havoc — clubbing until four in the morning, teasing the boys, shopping spurges, etc. I love my best friend because, even though we go to colleges that are miles apart, we can get together and fall right into place. The last day we had together we drove to our favorite place in the Todd Hill neighborhood. Todd Hill features the best views on the island and, as cliché as it sounds we share it as a favorite destination.The spot we go to provides views of the Verazzano Bridge and parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. We talked all night in the car about everything we have been through, amazing and horrible. We fell asleep sometime after midnight, but she woke me up for the sunrise. It was another experience for the memory books ... now back to school.
