Wow. Spring Break. Probably THE most overrated week of the entire year. Where everyone travels to nice places and do stupid things. A week where people cant even remember half of what goes on because they are soo drunk all the time. All spring break does is make students want summer more. So when we go back to school, we loose focus and wear inappropriate clothing hoping warm weather will come sometime soon. Yeah, spring break really has no use other than to give lazy ass teachers a break. Im not saying i dont like it, it just has no use. Most of my spring breaks in the past have been pretty boring. Since i cant drive and my parents are at work all day, i usually just stay home and watch my 3 brothers. But this spring break was different. Before the break started, me and da krew created a list of things we needed to do over break. It was a pretty long list that was almost impossible to accomplish it all in one week. So even though we probably only tackled a few of those things on the list, i think we accomplished something that is way more important than "getting a spray tan" or "going swimming." We became a family, an ohana. Throughout the entire spring break, da krew and i hung out with the guys. At the beginning, it was all about having the guys on our side and not on BBB's side. It was about trying to impress the guys so eventually we would all date. As adorable as that sounds, by the end of the break, we realized this is not what its about. It about having true friends to go to. Its about having friends that you are so close to, you consider them family. After having a week full of flirty, crazy, tp-ing fun with all the guys, it took us till last night to realize that we dont want it to be a competition or having to try to impress eachother all the time. Its about being a family. Thats what we want, an ohana. On friday, we all went to tp HAB's house. When we were getting out of the car, drew randomly said "ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind." It was an inspiring moment for all of us, especially because you would never picture that coming from drew's mouth. Although it was cute at the time, we never expected it to be true. On saturday night, we were all invited to go to kirsten's house with everyone from school. Sadly enough, HAB happend to be there. Trying to avoid all drama and rude comments, we just wanted to have a fun time. Well as crazy as it sounds, we were not wanted at kirsten's. The time we were in there was probably the most awkward 5 minutes of my life. Everyone just stared at us wondering when we were going to leave. So me and da krew just walked out. The best part is that the ohana followed us. Drew, devin, and nick came with us because ohana means family, and family means no one left behind. With no where to go and being forced to stay outside in the freezing cold, the ohana still came with us. It was this moment when we all began to realize we were all family. All the guys could have stayed at kirsten's were it was warm but no. They chose to come with us. We were all hanging out at the park, having care-free fun together. But then everyone from kirsten's house came to the park. We could tell they were just looking for trouble. Suddenly, all our fun we were having just turned into akwardness. After a few minutes, HAB just start yelling at Drew. The poor kid was already having a bad night and he didnt need their bitchyness. After continuous back and forth yelling between the two groups, they all left. As they start walking away, it suprised us all that taten stayed with us. This was the moment that was probably the most beautiful of the entire week. Although it was the most annoying and awkward, it showed the true meaning of ohana. I am so glad to know that i wil always have my ohana to back me up. When anyone in the ohana is being picked on or having troubles with family at home, we know that we can all come together and just have no worries and be there for eachother. We are family, we are ohana, and NO ONE, no matter what, will get left behind.

Thanks to the ohana and especially da krew, for giving me the best spring break of my life.
