I would consider the summer of 2014 to be the best and worst summer of my life. A friend and I had saved money all year so that as soon as the biggest accomplishment of our life was achieved we could treat ourselves to Myrtle Beach‚ South Carolina.

Summer Lovin’ “Mornin’ Kell!” says the clerk at the local grocery store. “Good morning‚ Beck!” I holler back while walking down the stationary isle. There is just something about a rural town that will never leave your memory. It could quite possibly be the quietness all day‚ every day or maybe it is the fact that everyone knows everyone on a first name bases. Coming home to Small Town USA was a break from the real world‚ or so you thought the real world. College life wasn’t so bad‚
