" Guys are and always will be weird. That&amp;#039;s what I love about them though. My friends started coming home one by one in the past week, including one of my very good friends Ronnie. He&amp;#039;s also my campus cutie for the month! My friends are all pretty weird, but Ronnie is at the top, but that&amp;#039;s a good thing. He&amp;#039;s hilarious-not to mention his family is the coolest (besides mine of course) in the town. I was invited to make Christmas cookies with his family the other night. Well technically we just decorated them while his mom made them, but still. It was so much fun. We did it last year too so it was really cool to kind of keep the tradition going. Ron goes to school about 5 hours away from me, I&amp;#039;ve missed him and his family so much. His younger brother was helping us decorate them as well. He&amp;#039;s in eighth grade. I swear when brothers are around each other it&amp;#039;s hard to tell which one is older! They were being all messy with the frosting and sprinkles. And then Ronnie mentioned how he misses home. His mom and I were like &amp;quot;WHAT?! Home? This is your home!&amp;quot; So the rest of the night I kept giving him a hard time about that and he felt bad. Him, his parents, and I sat down and watched The Holiday (great movie!) and his dog Mickey was sitting on my lap. Ronnie said that Mickey is always like that with guests...I replied with &amp;quot;Oh, well I think you&amp;#039;re wrong because if that were the case he&amp;#039;d be all over you right now.&amp;quot; That made him mad so he took his blanket and laid down by the fire away from us all! It was pretty funny. I&amp;#039;m really glad I&amp;#039;ve been able to maintain my friendships with the ones that matter most since I&amp;#039;ve been away. It&amp;#039;s definitely a huge relief! It&amp;#039;s also that much more exciting when you see them on break. It won&amp;#039;t ever be the same, but I&amp;#039;m happy.  Lauren "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
