I am still rather upset about it though…but thankfully, my friend had a spare one! Hurray for not being phoneless! Proud phone/text addict right here… =] So since I’m…
Fast food; convenient, cheap and pretty delicious, what’s there not to like? Spring break has ended and the routine of going to these places for lunch and after school continues.
