Hiii,
I know I haven't posted anything in forever, but I am going to work on posting more frequently because it's not like I don't have anything to write about..
So if you didn't know already, I am back in Southern California for my second year at my University, Cal Baptist. Originally being born and raised in Texas, living in California is pretty much a whole other world. Since its my second year here I have mostly caught on to the SoCal culture. (Side note: I will always still be a Texas girl no matter how long I live in a world of hippies and surfers.) But I will have to admite, living here pretty much feels like I'm on vacation all the time. Even while taking 15 units at school, which says a lot.
I have gotten to do so many exciting things just in the few months I have been in school this semester. Mostly because I have really cool friends that invite me to go on exciting adventures.
So a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to a Florida Georgia Line concert with some really good friends of mine. So I'm sure you're thinking, okay cool this chick went to a concert, those are everywhere. But what made this concert so fun was that it was in San Diego. Well, to be more specific, Chula Vista, which is a little outside of San Diego. To be even more specific, it was approximately 5 miles away from Mexico.
As the weekend approached and we head to San Diego, we stop in Point Loma to pick up my roommates cousin. And can I just say that I think that Point Loma Nazarene University wins the award for prettiest campus in the whole world. Can we just take a moment to admire that even the freshman dorms have ocean views, just to give you a little perspective on how pretty this campus is. And not to mention that you can walk 5 minutes on campus and end up at the beach.
This seriously had me reconsidering what school I wanted to go to... (I still have mad love cbu though)
After touring this campus and getting over the initial shock of how beautiful it was, we head to an adorable pizza restaurant on the marina with a perfect oceanfront view. Totally casual...
So we made it to the hotel, got ready for the concert and headed over to the venue. It was in an amphitheater which is pretty much the only way to go for country concerts... Because what fun is a concert if you can't sing and dance along to the performers... Thats just my opinion though.
Once we get to the concert, I was extremely excited because first of all, country concert environments are always fun, and second of all I felt like I was back with my kind of people again. But I do have to say, from a Texans perspective, you could pick out those who were not true country music fans, or country people in general, I guess thats what I'm trying to say.
This concert was so fun though and Florida Georgia Line put on a great show. But I think the main reason that I had such a good time was because I was back in my element even though I was1,500 miles away from home in Southern California.
All in all it was such an exciting weekend and not many people, unless you're a Southern California local, can say that they day tripped to San Diego on just a regular weekend.
Now you can see why I say that I feel like I'm living in a vacation.
That pretty much sums up the adventure for this weekend, but I figured why not share my fun experiences.
Until next time,
-Brooke
