Gerrlsz Nite

I just had a really wonderful night. The original plan was to have a Christmas themed movie night. Lauryn was going to come over and we (Myself, Melissa, Alex and potentially Alyssa) were going to snuggled up and pig out on an assortment of junk food. Shortly before Lauryn arrived, Melissa had decided to just spontaneously start playing around with makeup. I joined her instantly and Lauryn couldn’t deny the fun we were having with it when she got here. When Alex showed up, we forced her to join in on the makeover shenanigans.

The thing is, even though we live a ten minute walk from Lauryn, she’s still considered really far because she lives outside our neighbourhood bubble and is completely out of the way of everything so we honestly rarely ever see her anymore, plus we’re all so busy. We quickly opted out of watching a movie and just decided to make this a classic girl’s night and painted our nails and caught up on all the latest juicy gossip. The juicy gossip being how school was going because even though we’re all twenty (Minus Melissa… one more month though!) we all feel like the elderly because we never do anything anymore.

I think it was such a good night because typically it’s what Caroline, Leighanna and I do a lot of the time so it just feels natural to me. We don’t often have girl’s nights here because everyone has such different schedules and workloads, so I really appreciated tonight and decided I should write about it. However, Corbin came over to talk to Melissa so after she left Lauryn, Alex and I just watched bloopers from The Office and my cheeks are still hurting from laughing so hard. I’m really happy right now, I just want to smile but like I said – cheeks are hurting.

Tonight was just really special to me and I think I just really needed it. There’s just a certain level of normalcy to a night like this, as I mentioned previously. I’m really, really excited for winter break to come. As much as I love being away from home, I miss my best friends terribly.

This post seems everywhere but I’m actually just so exhausted I can barely think straight. I just wanted to record it before I forgot everything and got too lazy to write about it.

It’s weird but the past few hours already feel like a blur, but I still feel warm from it if that makes sense. I just have comfort knowing that tonight was filled with happiness and laughter and I genuinely had a good time. As much pain and unhappiness university has caused me, I know that I have no regrets and that I was supposed to be here at least to meet the people that are now in my life.
