To kick off my summer of memory making, the Seese family took on Universal Studios. Mom isn't pictured (sorry mom, someone has to take the pictures). I have a crazy family. I'm a middle kid. My older sister, Madi (far left), is 20, and my little sister, Carlyn (second from the left), is scaring the heck out of 15. Bless my dad's heart, he raised three daughters and he's the only guy in the house, but he handles it like a champ. Anyways, back to Universal. Back in February I went on a school fieldtrip to Disney World and Universal with the marching band, which is a story for another time. But for the duration of the family trip, I was our unofficial "tour guide", since I was supposed to know where everything was. Plot twist... I didn't. We got to stay in a Universal resort, which was awesome. We rode ALL the rides, since we were there for 6 days, and we spent copious amounts of time in Harry Potter World. Most importantly I spent the whole week with my family. Since I got a job in food service when I was 16, I spend the majority of my weekends at the restaurant, which took away a lot of time I could have been spending with my family. It was a source of income but also a source of stress. Although I made some pretty awesome friends and gained some experience, in the end, family is what really matters. Family will always be there for you when you have no one else. Go to dinner with your parents when you get the chance. You aren't the only one getting older, they are too. Your sisters are the first friends you make, don't forget that. You might not always like them, but you will always love them. Family is your ultimate support system. I love my family very much.
