Weekly Report #15: The BEST Spring Break (Week of 31st March)

These past few weeks have been really fun. It was spring break so I didn’t get a lot of

work done except for deciding on which college I want to attend. In the first few days of

Spring break, my family friends from Norway and California came over. We celebrated

Holi (an Indian festival of colors), where me and my friends threw colors and water over

each other and danced which was EXTREMELY fun. Me and my family friends went to

Fortworth, Texas and we spent time listening to live country music and having this one

Mexican salad. Then after they left, me and my friends went to Six Flags which was

AMAZING. I love roller coaster rides so it was perfect for me, and we could also see the

the entire view of the theme park from the rides so it was really cool. That was one of the

best experiences I’ve ever had. Then, the next day me and my family planned a trip to

New York which was incredible. I’ve always loved New York City, as it reminds me of

Bangalore (the place where I used to live). We explored the city skyline, met my old

friends, saw Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, New Jersey, and

Pennsylvania. We mainly went to visit Penn State for an admitted students event, Stony

Brook University, and Rutgers. They all were good colleges but after weeks of

contemplating, I finally decided to go with Stony Brook University. They offered me good

aid, but also had a really nice campus that I liked a lot. It was a really good time, and

While I’m scared to be going so far away, I can’t wait to start this new journey!
