Hampton Homecoming pt.1

First of all I've been missing for a sec so I'm gonna catch up with two posts. Homecoming this year was great. I couldn't decide if I was going and I kept changing my mind literally like every two minutes. I finally decided to go when Baltimore life became overwhelming and I thought getting away and seeing my college friends would be good for me. Thursday I got there in time to do makeup for the fashion show. I saw my old babies from when I was coordinator last year. It felt good to be there. All my model babies were so happy to see me; even the ones who weren't in this year's show. I have to say the fashion show was excellent. The coordinator is the bomb. He is a dancer as well and he will soon be backup dancing for some major star, I forget which one but congrats anyway. Anywho he's really on point and the show was phenomenal. Friday I was supposed to leave early but I awoke late so I decided to stay for the step show. I was really happy with this decision because a brother of mine is a Que and it was his last show as "showdog". He asked me to be at the show but I told him I wasn't sure if I would be there. Since I knew it meant a lot to him I was glad I could stay and cheer them on. But let's not even talk about how the PUNK ALPHAS WON (feel my rage). I was so angry because I dont really care for some of them and their arrogant attitudes. This year especially angered me because they took the normal rivalry and made it disrespectful. When they mocked the ques founder step I was about to throw something at them especially seeing how the ones I'm close to reacted. NOT COOL! Then to make matters worse an old flame is an alpha so I especially wanted them to lose (thats another post) My bro got second place. I'm sure they are used to getting snubbed so he didn't look to angry. I still gave him some words of encouragement. Overall I was happy to be somewhere that I loved so much. It warmed my heart walking around campus and reliving some of the many memories I have there. And seeing people; some that I thought I wouldn't be as happy to see. Everyone for the most part is doing great, that made me feel good. College, especially the HBCU experience is so enriching. It's something everyone should experience! Go Black Colleges!! Whoo Hoo!!!
