My friends decided we should all go camping, to relieve school stress, even though they party more than they study, most of them. But I took on the offer, and saved up as much as I could. I've been camping before, I knew what to expect, as in the terms of items. But I also over pack, I AM A GIRL. stereotype. The night before, I skipped class so I could babysit to make an extra $40 bucks. The $40 bucks goes towards the payment for sleeping on the campground. *yeah, we pay to sleep on dirt, pee and excessive things on their dirty little poison ivy bushes and gross bathrooms, along with spider bites. Then again, if you drink a lot, you don't care... which I totally did!
But after my babysitting, I was pushed into a baseball game with military boys invite. Oh, I don't care for military, and yet I am attracted to them, plus they are adorable! I was off with me and my friend M, in which me and her chugged a beer and rushed on makeup in the dim parking lot. Our chatter mouths about boys came in and about, until I was stepping out of the car. I got a weird instinct, almost has me seeing me loose my wallet, and hearing the words "Don't Do it" . I obviously ignored and came about throughout the night with laughter, sitting around and having a good time. One drink in, I was good to go, and kept checking my wallet all night.
The game ended.
I started walking up, making inside jokes, I felt something hit me. Oh, it must be a person bumping me, it was crowded. Suddenly, it was gone. My wallet! was it stolen? did I loose it? when? why!? for my stupid actions, more money (than $40) was in!!! My debit, ID, School Card...gone.
Whats a girl to do when she can't find it ANYWHERE?!!?cry. ball. cancel the camping trip. I was so upset, humiliated, and disappointed at my ignorance. But, through my tears, I had only two of my friends help me out M and Sal. My girl M didn't have to spot me at all, but when I found $74 dollars in my hand because she went to the ATM at 3 am to spot me, it hit me hard as a friendship sign. I thank M so much and her reply "Don't worry about it, these things happen, you would have done the same". M trusted me, as a friend, because you truly don't know if you would do the same until it happens.
My girl Sal, spotted me with food, beer, supplies, and a great excuse to the world. Through all this mess, it showed who got my back. While I told my other girls, they just typed "sad faces" and hope u get better luck. Then wanted some credit when they spotted the gas up there. I love my friends, every bit, and no fingers pointed or contest who can be there the best. People help people different ways.
I have one friend who wants to party, her motto should be "Party and forget all the bad things". But there is only so much partying before we have to face all.
An accident occur a couple weeks ago with Sal, and I happen to be there at the right time and place. Help her out with a few truthful and honest words. Try to understand what her family was going through at the time, and understand that it affected her job. While the other friends were there, wanted party. They wanted to hear juicy gossip, a juicy classic dramatic story from Sal, and drink to it. I can't raise my glass to friends who don't stop for once and take ignition their not the only ones on earth. But how long can I keep this to myself?
I have to believe my friends care for me (who show odd ways of caring), it is their nature and not just me. But when dramatic things happen, isn't it a sign of who going to be there with you in friendship, thick and thin?
We always say "You would do the same", to bad we don't think the same, nor look the same, nor feel the same. But, when the "test" of friendship is passed, just realize, you would do the same only with the same good friends you always had.
