Natalie Going to College -Hattie Milligan

                It is almost time for school again and that means that it is also almost time for Natalie to go back to college. Today she started packing and it made me really sad. I hated it last year when she was gone because we used to do everything together and she wasn’t there to do things with me. There aren’t really any positive things about Natalie being gone. I mean, I did move into her bigger room but that was last year.  So that won’t make a difference this year.  When Natalie is gone, I have to argue with my brother alone, do the laundry all by myself, listen to pre-game music in the car by myself, rant to my brother, watch Netflix alone, and find different people to hang out with. It just is not fun. Oh, she also takes pretty much all of her clothes with her so I’m not able to steal them when I want to. I have taken full advantage of her clothes this summer. She wears mine too so we don’t argue about it. She does come back on the weekends some so we still get to do some stuff. Usually when she comes home on the weekends we either buy Redbox movies, go out and get ice cream, or actually go see a movie. Even when she comes home she still has to study nonstop. My parents cook a lot better food when she comes home too. We go from spaghetti on the week days to steak on the weekends. I just wish Lyon was not so far away. Last year when she went off to college I had to learn to braid my own hair. It legit took me like three days to be able to do it, and I still suck at it. So, I am not ready for Natalie to go back to college. It is like having my best friend move away for 8 months. It completely sucks. So now I am looking forward to Christmas break and summer of 2k17. It’s just a few short months away.
