When we hear that spring break is approaching, the thought of what to do quickly comes to mind. For college students, a MAJOR break, is SOME kind of vacation. For me, I usually just want to sleep. And leave the traveling for the summer.(It’s longer…) But this year, I wanted to give the traveling thing a whirl. MTV was having auditions for Diddy’s new show, Making His Band, and I figured I’d give it a shot.

    I had talked about making the trip for awhile and soon, a few of my close friends were interested in making the trip with me. So I came to the conclusion, that right now, money isn’t how I would like, why not split everything between the folks going. That was the plan. Disaster struck when my friend decided that she was going to rent the vehicle and I would reserve rooms after I had everything already planned out. But being that she said she could get things cheaper, I agreed(my mistake). The room reservations were made, and that was coo. When it came time to pick up the rental, thats when my plan unfolded. My friend informed my mom that she wasn’t able to get the rental…THE DAY OF OUR TRIP. Being that it was after 6pm, it was going to be kind of hard to get a rental. Me and a friend of mine ended up putting in 200 extra dollars, just to rent a car at the last minute. And being that I was already broke going on the trip, I was EXTREMELY P’D OFF!!! We didn’t end up leaving until 11pm that night being that we were suppose to leave at 5:30pm.  I drove all night to Chicago. Once there, we checked into our rooms, and I immediately went to the audition line. I stood in line for8 hours before auditioning. I was P’D off again, when I was only able to sing for 15 seconds before I was cut off and sent on my way. Being told that I would get a callback, that I never received. I felt played and I was ready to go. I had no money really, only for food and gas, and I felt like the trip was a waste of time for me and everyone that went. The only good part I can say was that I got to spend time with my baby, my bro’s  and my best friend, even though she upset me on the trip. I didn’t get to go clubbing, shopping or anything because everything closed early on Sunday, so I really felt ready to go home.

    The only conclusion I can come to, is next time, I will better prepare for my trips. And whatever plan I come up with, I will stick to that plan. And whoever don’t like it, doesn’t have to go, ya feel me? LOL!!!
