Well, I went to my second Warped Tour ever! A group of my ODU friends invited me to go to the Cincinnati Warped Tour yesterday. It was really fun! A few of them had gone to the Cleveland one a week or two earlier and decided to go again so that my friend Eric and I could go. It was very different than the Cleveland Warped Tour I attended in high school. But it's been about 6 years, so I guess I should've expected change. It was still a lot of fun though. We left a night earlier so that we didn't have to drive 2 hours early in the morning and one of my friends lives in Cincinnati, so her family was kind enough to let us stay with them and we stayed up late playing board games and fooseball and just talking and enjoying each others' company. It was a blast. It was just like taking a small piece of ODU to Cincinnati since that's exactly what it's like hanging out at school too. I really like our positive energy. So many people at ODU are just friends with everyone! It's fantastic! I am not even very good friends with half the people we went with, but they all still included me in conversations and looked out for me during our two days together and we all hugged each other goodbye. Heck, one of the guys I went with pretty much saved my life several times while we were in the pit watching Yellowcard (a fantastic set and performance by the way!).
It's amazing how open and friendly people can be! I've met so many people like this at ODU and they've really inspired me to try to be more friendly and to make more sincere efforts to get to know as many people as possible. I am actually a little overwhelmed when I think about how many people at ODU I have come to consider my good friends! I have more friends now than I think I've had combined in the first 17 years of my life. Basically, ODU is awesome and everyone can be friends with you if you put yourself out there and give people the chance to get to know you and vice versa :)
