Write A Descriptive Essay On Tetris

Improved Essays
Every year when summer and fall come around, Wisconsin campgrounds fill with families for annual trips, reunions, or spring-of-the-moment getaways. Preparation can be a huge hassle, packing the car to the brim, leaving just enough space for passengers, the dog, and a little bit of breathing room. When I attempt to make everything fit, it’s kind of like playing an exhausting game of Tetris, but it’s all worth it for that tranquil, beautiful, and unforgettable time I am yet to have. Upon arrival to my outdoor oasis, I step out of the car to stretch my legs and as I take in everything in front of me, I think to myself “perfect”, and that’s exactly what it is.

Licking my lips, the taste has me craving for even more chocolate. I am slightly chilled as the temperature continues to plummet, but I don’t want to go inside yet. I would like to warm up so I can stay outside longer and appreciate the dazzling starry sky. Problem solved; hot chocolate will quench my thirst, my craving, and leave me all warm inside!

    There are many places I hold dear to my heart such as traveling to the mountains, visiting my grandma or going down to the Russian River and swimming in the freezing green river. But one particular place that stands out in my memory is Mount Shastina.

    Ever since my first backpacking trip 6 years ago, I’ve had an affinity for the Appalachian Trail. I’m constantly looking for excuses to mash our lives into the giant, 50 liter bags, and hit the trail for a few days.

We were dropped off at the top of Bear Mountain and, while my parents argued over directions, I wandered around the windswept ridge.…
