CROATIA | Friday, 9 May 2014 | Views [162] | Scholarship Entry

It all started about 6 months before , my two best buds and i sat in my garage with nothing but a laptop two CDjs and a few Malabro cigarettes . after hours of boredem and contemplating , not just what the night that we were enduring was going to consist of but the rest of our life's and the summer coming up.After hours of chatting ,surfing the web , smoking and terribly trying to beatmatch our favourite songs i stumbled across a video link on facebook .OUTLOOK FESTIVAL it read , so i shouted over my compadre's to come check it out with me .We all sat down on the couch which i had recently made out of the crates my parents receive vegetables in . So i clicked play .. and wow ! what are the chances of that ? our favourite song starts playing ,off to a good start . The video showed a magical sunny beach ,where the drinks were cold, the sea was warm and the girls were wet! two minutes fifty three seconds later we knew exactly what we wanted to do with our summer .Even though the rest of our life's were still untold ,the fact we all had something to look forward to definitely lightened our spirits and made us smile .I am not saying it wasn't hard .. Luke and Joe where in college so they were certian there parents would pay . and me .. well i had left school with a good amount of GCSE's enough to get into all the local colleges ,but for some reason still unexplained i chose not to go .I saw myself leaving school and all education behind me , to fall into a good job or for somebody to notice me for my true talents and offer me a position at their company . Optimistic i know i realise that now . so there i was no job , my parents refusing to subsidise me as i was not in education and unemployed .The only thing on my mind was forgetting my troubles and having the time of my life with my best mates in the environment that i had been exposed to in this video .what am i going to do ? i spent the days leading up to summer fiending on odd jobs and quick deals i could make a quick coin off .three or four weeks in i had enough for the ticket , so i bought it .Halfway there i thought to myself even though the flights were twice as much .Bearing in mind my friends had their tickets and flights at this point.as the days got shorter and the date came closer i was worried . have i wasted money on the ticket?then it came to me the only way i could attend was if i sold my belonging as a keen gamer i had consoles .the date got closer so i decided it had to be done .sellxbox!
