Did you know I love the strokes? As I headed into the second day of the Stony Brook program, I had such an awesome breakfast!! LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS. The eggs were shockingly better than I expected them be. I enjoyed the pancakes swell, overall I give it an 8/10 rating!! And of course, It wouldn’t be a real morning if we weren’t talking about politics. (Talk about a classic meal!)
And afterwards immediately got to listening to my favorite band ever. The Strokes, in my opinion, are the best band ever. I did my college essay on this band, and I can definitely say that this band saved me. Everything in my life is a The Strokes reference. I mean? You Only Live Once, right? (I really hope someone gets this). On a serious note, I cannot live without the Strokes. They make my entire day and honestly is keeping going throughout this entire program. I could talk about the Strokes all day, once someone gets me started, I will NOT stop…It’s one of my favorite things to talk about. When I went to my first baseball game, which was a Mets game, I kept making refs to the Strokes because of how much I love the band. I become so annoying when the strokes are mentioned or when I can make a ref to the band. I feel like this band and I have a stronger connection than I have with actual people. I am actually listening to the Strokes as I write this…
Continuing, we took a nice field trip to the veterans home here on LI! It was such a cool place to be, especially because we are writing a story on the home! It was pretty cool. I was the one doing the interviews, and those people were the best people to talk to. Mark and Chuck’s pov’s and their stories were so interesting to listen to, they’re both war veterans and have both been shot. I got to hold a real Purple Heart (thanks Chuck!) and afterwards came home and talked about it!! Best believe an experience that cool has to be talked about to its fullest extent.
Afterwards we went to MOVIE NIIIIGHT!!! We watched Moana 2, and me and my cutie, Sorbs, did some networking and got A LOT of free stuff! Then it was back to the dorms and sleeping time!
And yet again: photos!
