This is a picture of my two roommates who are also my best friends. We were all supposed to go to Mardi Gras together, but I got so sick and had to stay home. I was already bummed I didn’t get to go and then it got a lot worse because I hate being alone and got so bored while they were gone. Although I hated this weekend, it forced me to get creative and learn how to entertain myself. It also made me think about where I want to move after college because I want to be surrounded by people and not be lonely. The way I cheered myself up from missing my friends was staying out of the house. I went on walks on the Katy Trail so I could be surrounded by people who were motived to be moving outside. I also get to see lots of happy dogs on the trail. I went to the sauna to sweat a little because I was sick and couldn’t really workout. I also went to the mall and looked around for a while because even if I’m not really in the mood to buy things I like to look at all the clothes coming out for the spring season. People in the stores also love to chat and hang out because they get bored at work. I knew I had to go back to my house at some point so I got a nice candle and a colouring book and I just listened to music and hung out and it really wasn’t that bad having alone time. Even though I missed the weekend with my friends, I think it was good for me because it pushed me out of my comfort zone. They also had a lot of fun which made me happy because they are so cute and I did not want to get them sick.
