"I Left My Heart In Ocean City"

Worked in Ocean City, Maryland

The adventures i get to experience was beyond imaginable, parties i wish has no end & the food... yes the food was amazing. There are some days i just want to stay at home looking outside, enduring the serenity my second home has to offer without realizing how time flies so fast that all i wanna do is just lay in bed and do nothing the whole day. But I never thought I could miss a place I've stayed for 3 months.

There is just something about a place full of memories, that makes it magical. I miss the sofa in our house where i used to take a nap, I miss having a kitchen and being able to eat anything anytime I want, I miss going to Boarwalk with my bicycle, I miss being surrounded by all my nerdy friends and all of us being in the same place at the same time, I miss knowing how to get anywhere in Ocean City, and never having to look up for directions, I miss running every morning just to catch up the bus, I miss everything about Ocean City.

There are so many things about Ocean City that make it so great, and those things are so different for everyone, but all in all whether you admit it or not there are some things that you miss about that place you call home.

It's been a year now since my work and travel experience.
