Franklin Street Nights and Pizza Dreams

OMG you guys, I’m sitting here at like 11:30 PM with cold Pepper’s pizza and my laptop and I just HAD to write about tonight!! Spent the whole evening on Franklin Street with Jess and Meredith just walking around, people-watching, eating way too much pizza, and soaking up these perfect summer nights. There’s something so magical about Chapel Hill in the summer - all the stress of finals is gone but you still get to feel like a real college student, you know??

Franklin Street Nights and Pizza Dreams

We literally sat outside Pepper’s for like two hours just talking about everything and nothing. Meredith is convinced she’s going to meet her future husband at Top of the Hill (girl has been saying this for months lol) and Jess is already stressing about organic chemistry next semester. Meanwhile I’m just trying to soak up every second of this independence before I have to go home to Durham for a weekend and deal with Mom asking why I’m not dating anyone serious yet.

Don’t get me wrong - I love my family SO much and I definitely miss Mom’s cooking and Dad’s terrible jokes. But there’s something about being on your own, making your own choices, staying up as late as you want eating leftover pizza and blogging… it feels like real life is finally starting?? Like I’m becoming who I’m supposed to be, even if I have no idea who that is yet. Okay I’m getting all deep and philosophical and it’s definitely time for bed. Night everyone!!
