Bear Down.

So I finally made the much anticipated trip to Tucson this weekend with Amanda and her family.


We started the weekend off by eating at this total hole-in-the-wall burger joint named, Lindy's on 4th. I ordered this:





...well, not really. But a man at a table next to us did. This 12 patty fatty is called the O.M.F.G, and if you can eat it all in 20 minutes, it's free. This challenge is what brought the show, "Man vs. Food" to Tucson. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the man try to conquer this beast of a burger, watching as his eyes slowly glazed over as he one by one ate each patty as if they were chocolate chip cookies smothered in cheese. It was heartbreaking to see him shove the last of it into his mouth, only to have the waiter call time.

Next, we met up with one of Amanda's family friends, named Rachel. She took us around the campus, showed us the dorms, etc. I must say, I really liked the campus, and I really liked the atmosphere. I think U of A is a good fit for me. So after the college tour, Rachel invited us to do some "pre-gaming" with some of her friends. Yeah...welcome to the college life? We then proceeded to walk to the stadium, and as tempting as Rachel's offer to sneak us into the student section was, we declined, and made our way to our seats, where we met some interesting people. There was British Man, whom Manda was drooling over. All that I know is he was a Chelsea fan, and if anyone had anything to say about that he'd "f*ck them up." Then there was Desert-Vista-Freshman-Homeboy, who stood behind me, and commentated every single thing that happened throughout the game. Then there was Drunk Man, who was well...drunk. We were sure he'd be the one to start a fight. He constantly asked for "more cowbell" and told everyone to "stay in the positive zone, not the negative zone." British man was annoyed with Drunk man, or so he told us. Needless to stay, there were some characters around us, and they kept the game interesting...even more so than it already was.



Oh, yeah, and drunk college kids?

Thanks for charging the field with one minute left in the game and Oregon at the goal line. You looked like total idiots on live television. Way to go!

Anyway, after all of the adventures Amanda and I had, it's safe to say that we're ready for college. I'm ready for what the rest of my life has in store for me, and this weekend just added a whole new sense of excitement.

T-114 more school days!

  1. Oooohhh! Scarlett's growing up! Just remember to live these last few days of high school with pride. Don't forget that you can't go back and have a do-over. As ready as you are for the future, don't forget live in the present.
