My favorite present has to be my first and only laptop I have ever received. I got my wonderful HP Pavilion laptop about two years ago. There is nothing else that I use more than my laptop. In high school, due to the fact that we barely ever had any homework,  I used to spend about three hours a night in my bedroom, laying on my bed with my laptop, simply searching for new music on iTunes. Don’t get me wrong or anything, I love socializing, but I also love the time I have alone. Every night I had the routine of relaxing and having my own “me” time. This is a hard transition with college because there are always people surrounding me. I literally take my laptop everywhere I go. Whether it is the library, a coffee shop, or a friend’s apartment. I think it is just a thing that all of my friends are aware of. We all know to bring our laptops whenever we get together. We can always have fun watching dumb YouTube videos or looking at ridiculous posts on Tumblr. There’s something amazing about looking up whatever your mind reaches to at 2:00 am. A lot of the times, I search for dance videos that inspire my choreographer’s mind or poetry that makes me think “outside the box”. I find a great satisfaction from finding an artist on iTunes that is not considered mainstream and has amazing lyrics. Thank you HP. You have helped me become a thinker.
