Think back to the days when being with your friends was the most wonderful feeling in the world. The moments you can go back to and the things you remember most are the laughs and secrets you all shared. However, growing up changes things. Sometimes, we lose friendships and find what we may think are more important things. More important than simply having fun with the people you can be yourself around without feeling judged. There have been rough patches with my group of friends, just like any other group I’m sure. But no matter what, we somehow always find a way to make our friendships last. This weekend, one of my closest friends turned eighteen. Our group was getting back together to have one of our annual birthday sleepovers! There was only one thing that was holding me back; the fact that it had been a few years since we’d had our last sleepover. I was afraid it was going to be awkward or not as fun as it used to be. I was afraid we had outgrown our sleepover days.
We started with food, as any great party would. It was just like our usual social talk, the ones we have at lunch. Then we moved to the living room to watch a chick flick, The Devil Wears Prada. When the movie got over it was only about eleven o’clock, but what else were we to do? This is when I figured it out. No matter how old you get, you are never too old to find fun, you never lose your imagination. You are never to old to have a sleepover. We ended up playing a game called Headbandz. Those laughs we shared back then were the same laughs we are sharing today. Needless to say, our night did not end there. Or with the next movie we watched. Actually, our night did not end until the next morning, three hours before I had to be at work for a seven hour waitressing shift.
Anyway, there are two things I have learned from this sleepover.
- Two hours of sleep is not enough to hold you throughout an entire day of perverted truckers.
- It doesn’t matter how old you get, as long as you have your friends, you can have sleepovers.
lovely :D
