Earlier this year, I had finally saved enough money and
planned a trip to visit my sister in Texas. After a long week at work, two cups of coffee, and a
stressful 6:00 am flight, I had finally arrived in Austin. Having only been to Texas once before,
I was more than excited to see my sister and return to one of my favorite
cities in the country.
Home to major festivals like SXSW, cute coffee shops, or
award winning restaurants, Austin is not like its cowboy boot-wearing
conservative partners. I had the
chance to spend the day, eating at a slew of local eateries, shopping at
AMAZING thrift stores, and indulging myself with a trip to Pinkberry. Since I do not travel here often, I
made sure to take in my surroundings and appreciate everything the city has to
offer. However, I could not help
but stress about the time I was taking off of work. Taking four days of vacation has proven to be more difficult
than I had imagined; however, I am grateful that co-op has given me the chance
to get away. Having classes
everyday and homework on the weekends; I had never found the time to take this
much needed visit.
Since being on co-op, I have explored Philadelphia and
visited far away cities; formed new relationships and rekindled old
friendships; and reflected on the steps throughout my life and my hopes for the
future. Working has opened
my eyes, and I am eager to continue what has truly been a rollercoaster
ride.
