The Summa of a Five Star Stunna

This summer, I did not do much. My days consisted of playing on my phone, gaming, watching movies and shows on Netflix, sleeping, snacking, beating my family in UNO, and the occasional hangout with friends. Every Tuesday and Thursday, I had research lab. My summer was very uneventful, yet my family made it fun for me. They always do!

Nearly every summer, three of my male cousins that I am closest with, stay with us until school begins again. My siblings, my cousins, and  I are all relatively close in age. As a result, we get a long really well. Together, we have a lot of fun whether it is playing sports, going to water parks, playing pranks, randomly going to fast food restaurants at 3 in the morning, sharing stories, or just simply being who we are. They are like the brothers I have always I never had, yet I have always longed for.

Because of all of the fun that we had, the day my cousins were leaving was very saddening. I could definitely tell how upset everyone was. As an addition to the mood, a close family friend had passed away amen, and we would have to attend their burial in the same day.

The morning of their departure, we left on time for once. We stopped at a local gas station for snacks, and we were on our way. The ride to our destination was nearly silent. We arrived downtown Cleveland, and of course, we could not find the Megabus station. After we found the station, we could not find parking. Finally, we found a place to park, with time to spare. Waiting for the Megabus to arrive, we took a million "selfies" that did not turn out that great. People stared at us, bus this did not bother us the slightest bit because we pride ourselves in not caring what others think. Unfortunately, the bus then arrived. We all left one another with a few choice words, hugs, and kisses--on the verge of tears. My cousins then boarded the bus, setting in the fact that we would not see each other in months. In no time, my older sister, my mom, and I guested into tears. (We are all super sensitive.) As the bus pulled off, we each gestured an inside joke to my cousins. We then went on our way to the burial that I previously mentioned. Overall, the day was very emotional.

Although my cousins and I were together to the point where they began to annoy me greatly, I miss me dearly, to this day. Regardless of all of the repetitive pranks that were played on me, I cannot wait until the summer simply because I know "the crew" will soon be reunited.
