After 24 hours we finally got to Colorado, it was December 1st, we stepped off the bus and was hit with the freezing winter air.

The second I laid eyes on them I ran to my big brothers because I haven’t seen them in a month.

The only problem with my room was it was a bright pink box, it had pink on every wall including the ceiling, and with pink being my least favorite color I didn’t like it one bit.

During this time, I assume everyone in Texas wears a cowboy hat, boots, talks in a southern accent such as saying y’all and other such stereotypes. I assume the general understanding of Texas from what I was taught as a kid in movies, music, and shows.
