4th of July's Lesson

 Happy 4th of July, or may I say Independence Day?

It wasnt one of the best days of this year and yet somehow I could find peace and joy amongst my friends and close ones. Through the troubles and continuous change of plans, we managed to enjoy the day and the fireworks of Hudson River from the rooftop.
It began on July 3rd when one of us began to argue for another place to go for 4th of July instead of the one we had decided almost a week ago. I was frustrated because we had to switch places four times and I didnt want to bother the rest of the group on the new places I kept on telling them we would meet. Long story short, poor planning. The next day, I began taping our day. Our first stop was Downtown Manhattan Seaport, where I will forever remember what Emmanuel said to me...

"Even on Hollidays we go to school, what the hell!"

We arrived at the Seaport and went walking to the ferry to governor's island only to realize it was closed. Sucks for us because the people that told us they werent goign to the beach in the morning WENT to the beach while we were stranded in lower Manhattan, redesigning our plan once more. We decided to go to the beach and without wasting time we headed towards Grand Central 42st, where we would take the Babylon train to Jones beach (two hours trip from manhattan) in public transportation. It went fine until I accidentaly erased all the videos of my camcorder (including my sister's graduation) and that would have upset anyone.

Three Juicies at Jones Beach.

But the day wasn't that bad at. I still had some of my sister's graduation videos, the majority of the crab we caught were alive and I spent the time with people I care. I believe that is the spirit of the 4th of July. I believe that no matter how poor the planning may be; no matter how many bad surprises the day may bring; no matter whatever circumstances, none will matter more than how you see the day yourself. What matters the most is not the past events, but rather how we will embrace future wonders (good and bad) together as a group. For me, what saved my day from being a whole disaster was the adventures against adversities with my friends and my adorable crush, a day at the beach and the Hudson River's July 4th's fireworks.

Awesome people.
