College Easter
This year is the first year I have ever missed a holiday. As the prideful traditional type, I felt a sense of shock when I didn’t immediately want to go home for the weekend. I had to make the adult decision of putting other things in front of my work. I have two test and two presentations to prepare for the week following easter. I also am surprising my best friend for her college graduation along with her birthday.
For my college edition Easter I still wanted to honor my traditions. Going to church, having brunch and finishing it off with a home cooked meal. It isn’t a holiday unless I have my grandmas corn. It may sound plain but there is so much love that she puts into it. It also isn’t a holiday if you don’t have mashed potatoes.
I went to the store and face-timed my grandma to make sure what I was getting was exactly the same thing she gets. I brought it over to my friends apartment and we made food. I also had to face-time my grandma to make sure I made everything right! After cooking on the stove we went upstairs to grill. Once all of our food was ready we both agreed… there wasn’t the home cooking love in our dishes. Don’t get me wrong though, the food was still amazing. I just hope that next year I can have my grandmas corn!
