Alter-Egos

So, I just finished my Spring Break. Read the title and the first sentence again lol. You get what this post is gonna be about? Yup, that’s it!

I saw some crazy and amazing things over this break. My friends and I spent time together doing girly pampering, movie watching etc. We went to a wildlife park (loved it) and made our way to Panama City Beach. For those of you not familiar with college life, PCB is a destination that people from all across the nation travel to during their break for some sun and fun. Fun depending on your definition. Most people see fun in Panama as drinking at 10 in the morning, smoking everything you can and having…relations with people you’ve never met.

Not saying that everyone does that, but let’s be honest…most people do! I’m not going to act like I sat in a corner reading a book while all of the craziness went in around me. I had my share of a good time! But I remember sitting in someone’s condo at like, 4 in the morning and realizing that this was real. Not a dream, but real. I felt a shock go through my body and guilt overwhelm me. That lasted for a couple minutes, then I was back in the groove lol!

Although I may look back at those shenanigans and laugh, it really is sad. I saw girls passed out with their behinds out on the sidewalk, guys groping everything that passed, fights, belligerent behavior and so much more. It’s almost as if everyone’s alter-ego came out at one time. That’s just a recipe for disaster!

It was fun. It was crazy. It was a glimpse at something that I don’t know if I truly belong to. While I had a good time, being in that environment is not me at my best. No promises, but I’m going to try to ease myself out of that lifestyle. I’ve been convicted and put it off for a week so I could party! But, now it’s time to face my conscience. Thankfully, nothing happened to me or my girls. But that doesn’t mean we should repeat actions that we know aren’t good for us. Why am I so hard-headed!!
This is gonna be interesting…
