Friends Come to Visit

I’ve been in Boston for about three months now. That means three months away from my family, my dog, and my friends. Since a plane ticket to Miami is expensive I don’t plan on going back to Miami till after finals, and I won’t see my family and dog till then. The thing is my two best friends from back home go to college in New York and a round trip bus ticket to Boston from New York (or vice versa) isn’t that expensive.

So, this Saturday my friends came up to visit. We had been talking most of the semester to try and find a time to meet but due to scheduling it never came to fruition. That is till I mentioned how there was a home game against BU and how great of a game it would be because of school rivalry. A few quick searches later and my friends bought two bus tickets to spend the day in Boston.

We spend most of our time just walking around and eating before the hockey game that night, but it was so natural being with them and catching up. When game time rolled around I was so proud that their first live hockey game would be with me at my school, and what a game it was. It was the team’s first time going to a shootout this season and we went to the eighth round before we finally won. Thank goodness we did because I would’ve never been able to live it down if we lost when my friends were in town.

After the game, we ate a late dinner and just basked in each other’s presence. They left later that night on a 2:00 AM bus.
