Personal Experience: My Experience At Ocean Lakes

During the dead week of 2015 at Ocean Lakes, a moment in my life changed me forever. It was the second day of my trip at the beach when it all went down. Me and Maddie had already been arguing that whole day because we never got to see each other that much while we were there. The arguing carried over into the night and it got to the point to where it was about other stuff that was brought up which led to up not speaking to each other.
