Alarm clock

As I was laying in bed hugging my teddy bear looking up at the wall, I continue listening to the music echoing from outside my room. It was 8’ o'clock and even though I was already tired, the need for staying up stayed with me. I stare and see the big wooden door wondering why I had to go to sleep while everyone was awake. “Sure I was being mean and started crying, but I want to listen to music! I want to party! I’m four years old, I can do whatever I want,” I thought angrily. Suddenly, I roll…

5 Then next morning, I decide to change my routine. One, eat a small snack. Two, stretch. Three, take a jog around my neighborhood. Running, I’ve discovered, clears my mind and calms me down. It gives me a good start to the morning. Four, return home quietly and take a shower. Five, have a small conversation with Mother while eating breakfast. Six, go to school. I do this religiously for a week. I no longer put makeup on in the morning. Now that I’ve come out to Mother, I don’t feel I need to…

When coach handed me the list of workouts to do on the sheet of paper, I balled up the paper with anger growling inside of me. “I can't do all these workouts in one day! That's impossible!'' I said breathing hard and fast. I felt as if my head was about to explode; my hands form into a fist and my nails dug into my skin. I shut my eyes trying to calm myself down. How can someone do all of these workout in one day? My body was shaking like a rattle snake ready to attack. When I forced my eyes to…

Waking up has always been difficult for me. I never wake up at a specified time, but I try. It's the thought that counts right? After hitting snooze about 5 times, I finally wake up around 7 everyday. I usually end up late to work and school but I like to think of it as my signature. I always skip breakfast, I'll have a coffee but I don't think that counts. I eat sparsely throughout the day because I'm so occupied with school, not to mention dealing with the stress doesn't help. I've never been…

It felt like a bulldozer was trying to bring the walls down. Along with entire buildings!. The flames were good for about another several hours. There was a vent installed scratches were heard. Even John's truck alarm had gone off again. Terrified of the noise the clerks rushed out to check his store. He returns in despair screaming “my roof is gone! Shadows flickered around each candle. “ Are you sure this is our best option? Shouldn't we keep running away rather…

and I used to go on. No matter what, there was always the guarantee of listening to at least three Coldplay albums over the duration of the car ride. With that being said, “Clocks” is one of my all-time favorite Coldplay songs. THe lyric that always speaks to me is, “ Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks. Gonna come back and take you home, I could not stop that you now know, singing…” (Coldplay, 2002), because it exemplifies how my time with my family and friends is quickly…

Dawn broke to an explosion of bird songs, the cacophony startling Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. However, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow onto the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile…

Mark is sleeping soundly on a Monday morning. His bedroom is completely dark, without the slightest presence of light. As the time approaches six-thirty, Mark’s alarm clock chimes. “Beep! Beep! Beep!” “Lucy.” Mark says sleepily as he wakes up. “Open the blinds.” Digital blinds dissolve into the bedroom windows, and the room is flooded with the first light of the morning sunrise. Mark’s room is now illuminated and fully visible. After lifting himself out of bed, Mark makes his way to the bathroom…

Three days ago i had a ride coming to take me to school at 7 am. The night before i did my homework, packed my backpack, and set my alarm to 6am. I ended up staying up until 11 o’clock watching Netflix. The next morning i remember waking up at 6 am holding my phone and turning off my alarm clock then, telling myself 5 more minutes. The next thing i know, i hear my doorbell ring and my mom saying “Oh my gosh! shes still sleeping!!!” “What time is it?” i asked. I rush out of bed and run my…

Jungkook groans and rolls over in bed when the sunlight filtering through his tiny bedroom window becomes simply impossible to ignore. He cracks an eye open and the small digital clock on his bedside table comes into view, and he squints to focus the dull red numbers, eventually making out 8:47. He allows his eyes to flutter closed again, and then in half a second is suddenly very awake when he realizes that his first class of the day starts at precisely 9:05; meaning he has exactly eighteen…
