Tailgating, parades, the band, football, old yells, bagpipes, the vibe in general, and not to mention my boyfriend are some of my favorite things about VMI on the weekends. This weekend was Homecoming, the Keydets played U of R and unfortunately the lost, I guess the football team thought the Rats needed a break from all those pushups they did at the last home game. Tailgating with Alex’s rat’s family is great! They are a lot of fun and are hardcore tailgaters. Alex’s old roommate and his fiance came down and I got to hang out and see some of my other favorite Keydets as well. We went out to dinner which was fun and reminisced about past trips, parties, weekends, and what not! We were laughing pretty hard by the time we left the restaurant. Leaving on Sundays is the hardest part however and no matter how many times I do it, it never gets any easier. Plus this time we arent sure when the next time is we’ll get to see each other since I’m working Parents Weekend, then the FTX is the weekend after that and then hopefully Alex will get to come to the Highland Games the following weekend. This time needs to go by fast and I need to stay busy, but I’m getting tired of school work already myself. As much as I like the visiting VMI on the weekends, I cant wait to visit with him as alumni.
