I honestly couldn’t think of anything to write about for this monologue. At first I was going to talk about things I hate about Baruch but the list would be endless. Since I find most things annoying, I figured I should write about something I actually enjoy talking about.

I went to St. Francis Prep which is a catholic high school in Queens. When I tell people I went to catholic school, they assume it was strict but in reality most of us didn’t pay attention half of the time and our teachers were pretty much tired of us. Our senior trip was to Hawaii which was probably one of the greatest memories I have about my school.

The flight was ten hours long and it was torture but it was so worth the wait. I shared a room on the twenty third floor with my two best friends and some random girl who turned out to be crazy. My dean, principal and teachers were our supervisors but they were out partying just as much as we were. It was just like being on vacation alone, they didn’t care that we went out past curfew or that people left their rooms in the middle of the night.

Besides having complete freedom, it was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The water was actually blue unlike the ugly  brown green water we have in New York. I remember swimming out to the coral reefs and skinny dipping at night. On our last night we went to Top of Waikiki, a revolving restaurant in Waikiki (obviously). The food was amazing and the view was even better. We stayed for nine days and me and my friends were crying when we had to leave. We wanted to move there and I definitely would if I had the money.

After coming back to New York, I felt more annoyed than usual. Probably because I didn’t want to spend summer here after an experience like that. Eventually I got over it; I still miss it but I made life long friends and met my boyfriend there, so I definitely got a lot out of it. 

These are my favorite pictures I took while I was there 🙂
