When I left behind Austin to go visit my hometown, Dallas, over spring break, I never realized just how much I was going to leave behind, especially the ice-cream. Amy’s Ice-Cream is a staple ice-cream shop in Austin, and I was used to grabbing myself a bowl of the sweets right before I went to my classes everyday. However, when I went to go visit the local Braum’s near my house, I asked the cashier if they had any rainbow ice-cream, a vanilla ice-cream infused with sprinkles mix which was a common favorite at Amy’s. The cashier said he sure did, but when he came back out with the ice-cream, it was just a small snow cone with rainbow food-coloring around it. I never held a feeling of regret as much as I did that day.
