Feels fucking amazing to be back in the US. Its crazy what a week in Mexico will do your perspective on things. yea I was in Cancun, yea I was on spring break with a bunch of other privileged middle to upper class white kids, but the things I saw and did made me think a lot about how I live my life here in the states.But the moral of the story for times sake is that I can live free, have fun all while remaining safe and responsible about the things I care about all while just being me along the way. When I say be "me" I mean live without second guessing myself in almost every word and action I do. And not letting things people say (i.e YOUR shitty opinion) affect the choices and learn life on my own. I learned theres isnt any one particular time to be wild and reckless, but you can life every single moment of your life balancing both.
I landed and thought I was having a hard time adjusting to the social insane asylum that was my hotel resort, and honestly was like "well fuck this, this is too crazy Im to old for this kind of shit" with all the 21 year olds I was sharing hotel space and the horrendously shitty quality food around me and raging shirtless tatted up white broskis I thought I was gonna try and lay low and chill and just party with my frat brothers. I was in for a pleasant surprise.
After getting carted out of the club like a fallen soldier on a battle field, getting wheelchaired up to my room on the third night and losing my sneakers somehow, I thought I was done. Done drinking, done having a good time done with spring break. This nigga right here, turned shit around and went on a living spree after that. We had 8 days to live it up in cancun, and by the time we were in the airport on the way home from mexico I had won the can-poon award (for slaying a grand total of 2 chics over the course of a week) and basically just went on a living spree, bungee jumping, zip lining and well diving around the mexican jungle with rest of my time there.
Can't believe how much shit was done and said in one week. I love my fraternity brothers, if for no other reason then they are new yorkers, and everything they say is raw and funny and to the point. I want to be the kind of person who entertains peoples everywhere I go, but is serious and overall a REAL person with each and every encounter I have. They from me as much as I learn from them and I can tell I blend in with my crew, but I know that deep down inside I am very different. The thing that connects me with them in the overall passion for life I feel that will always keep us close even if one of the moved to another planet I know I would still feel close to them. They love me and I love them.... I look out for them....they look out for me. I want to be buried next to my line brother when I die.
I should also tell you that over the course of this trip we found out that clean water is like gold in some countries, and that the I had some chocolate milk down there that pretty much just turned my insides into chocolate, and that we all lost weight after a week f less then filling portions at every meal. (Call me a spoiled american). I should also add that they don't refrigerate their condiments-so the mayonaise was hotter then a field slave in the sun, and I don't know what to say about the catsup on each table or the sad 3 lettuce leaf "salad" they served us every time we ate at the sports bar in our hotel. I guess I should also mention that the college spring break company we booked with, studentcity, pretty much raped us a $1700 vacation, and then put us in a shitty 3 people to one king sized bedroom. This hotel was so first class wea ll checked in and the computers systems crashed for a few hours so that when I called for an extra cot they were basically rendered useless....so when a few floors lost electricity for a while and the wifi just did not work somedays, just shrugged and went down to the lobby for a drink.
This was probably the best vacation I've been on yet, so far in my life, basically because I could actually drink on this one and wasn't with family or a girlfriend. Im still traveling right now as we speak thoughas my travel is 4 hours longer than everyone else because the travel company booked my flight from nyc and added an extra 8 day on both sides of this vacation. Thats all I care to reveal for now, peace.
