Social Life

One of the more popular questions people ask me revolves around my social life. I won’t lie to you; I had expectations before coming. All of those expectations have been surpassed but for reasons you may not be expecting. The pubs are crazy fun. The craic is real. But the craic and the pubs were only as fun as the people I surrounded myself with.  So, to the crazy 16 cats that went on this wonderful adventure with me, thank you. Thank you for showing me that whether we are throwing birthday parties in Cabin 4 or hen parties in Taaffes the craic is with you all.  Thank you for learning the tricks of the trade with me. Thank you for making sure I didn’t get lost in Rome (Michael) or stranding myself in the middle of a stream trying to take the perfect picture. Thank you for hanging in the back with me because I don’t like to walk fast and I have to take 200 pictures. Thank you for singing to “Galway Girl” and “She Will Be Loved” on the bus with me. Thank you for watching movies with me and sharing cuddles and eye rolls from the back of the bus. Thank you for supporting me when my dad got sick—you were all hardly more than strangers but you surrounded me with love and comfort. Thank you for the laughs and the memories. Thank you for being the individuals you are because you each brought something unique and special to this trip. The 16 of you have impacted my life in a way no one else ever can. I will look back on this trip for the rest of my life with a smile on my face. The craic is real and the craic is all of you. Cheers to making friends with the most unlikely of people!
