Summer 2013: Who We Are


1 fair job, 9 concerts, 1 graduation, and 4 months later, its crazy to think Summer 2013 is over. I can say though that it was definitely the best Summer so far. Some of the highlights were seeing my favorite band, Switchfoot, for the second time, GradNite, and getting Skillet's first album in almost 4 years. It was just an awesome Summer. I honestly don't think it could have been any better. There were just so many awesome things that happened. Those things I just listed were just highlights, I really couldn't choose a favorite.




June - Finishing School & Starting my First Job

First off, I graduated High School in June and even though I only knew literally one person there, I GRADUATED FREAKING HIGH SCHOOL, KAY? Literally the day after that, I had to start my Summer job, which definitely had it's up and downs. As would any normal job. Some of the perks were all the concerts I went to this month. I literally only paid for two of them, and the rest were free. All the artists I saw live (in June) were Switchfoot, J. Thoven, Victoria Justice, RED, Train, Bridgit Mendler, Colbie Caillat, and Third Day. Let me say, all the bands put on a good show, but Switchfoot was definitely my favorite! I mean, I was literally like next to the stage! Enough about the concerts though. My favorite part of Summer happened in June. It wasn't graduating, wasn't working, wasn't even the concerts! The best memory of Summer was GradNite at Disneyland. It was cool, actually, cause only like 10 people from my class came and we didn't know each other, so it was cool getting to know them/bond with them at Disneyland of all places! That was pretty much my June, but July wasn't all that eventful (to be honest).

July/August - First Experiences of Adulthood

July, like I mentioned, wasn't all that full of anything. It was August that was all fun and everything. At the beginning of August, it was less than 2 weeks till I had my first day of college, which I was overly pumped for. (Fun fact: by the time this is published, I've been in it for over a month.) The week before I started, my family decided to go two SeaWorld twice and take a trip to Los Angeles once. I also got to see Flyleaf and P.O.D. (and sing a little for P.O.D.) on the 9th of August My second favorite part of Summer actually happened the second yime we went to SeaWorld that week. I was just casually in line for a ride, when there is a girl who look A LOT like The Voice's Season 4 winner, Danielle Bradbery. So I'm all freaking out trying to decide whether I should ask her or not. Well, I get over my shyness lol and she says its her and takes a picture with me (above). Like, I wanted to go to The Voice just to see her perform, but I never expected to meet her at SeaWorld, of all places. Literally 8 days after that, I get to go to a Taylor Swift concert (don't judge). Even though I was only 4 rows from being at the very top, I still got to see her in concert, so I am totally fine with that. :) The day after that, I turned 19, which yeah, I'm getting old considering as of right now, I'm only a teenager for 11 months more. :( I forgot to mention, I started college on the 19th of August.

That was pretty much my Summer. I still believe it was the best of my life. God put everything in place at the right moment and I love the way he moves! Fall 2013 is here and now we can hopefully get a relief from all this hellish weather lol. Thanks for reading! :)

Until Next Time, Alex
