Winter Break Narrative

Improved Essays
The last few weeks of school before winter break passed quickly. I wasn’t mad at her and would usually look at her but communication between us was scarce if any. She rarely looked at me and never laughed at what I said. It was as if her spirit had died that day after the game. I couldn’t bare to see her like that. The once joyful and happy young girl I had met that first day of school, turned into a dull and hopeless living creature. That’s when I gave up on her.
The last day of school for the first semester had arrived. Our graduating class had the privilege to go altogether to a place to play and eat. A few weeks before we picked the "Secret Santa" thing from within our class. "Great" I said sarcastically upon looking at the name. "Nicole Lockhart".

For the first time in my life, Gabriel got mad. I have never seen him like this, as if the kind, helpful and tolerant Gabriel I saw, wasn’t there. I went to him and tried to calm him down but he started shouting at me. I was hurt, but I wasn’t going to let him get into a fight, I loved him. I couldn’t stand to see something like that, so I stopped him. I gave him a hug and he stopped. Sadly, my dad saw what I did. After the game continued my dad took me by the hand and led me outside. He told me. 'If I ever see you do something like that IN YOUR LIFE! I will have you withdrawn from that school immediately! You understand? ' I couldn’t hold it. He couldn’t do something like that to me, but he did. Why? I don’t understand. I started crying so much. I knew I had to go inside, I sat down and saw the rest of the game in silence. But my worst fears came

    She was introduced to me through a friend, and on paper it should have been the perfect relationship. We both like movies, drinking, and sex. Any combination of those three made for a pretty good weekend. Sadly I have always been a firm believer of “the spark” (I have been ridiculed for that belief most of my life) and this relationship need something and that something was missing. I ended it a few times (I told you I was bad at breaking up) but it finally died from natural causes at the end of last year.…

    The anticipation for Thanksgiving break is over the top. The thought of home cooked meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.…

    Fall break is a time for us as students to relieve ourselves from the stresses of school. It’s a time to be with family and friends and to enjoy delicious food. It can also be a time to reflect on how psychology is in everything we do. Our motives, actions, and feelings are all brought back to psychology. Over this break, I made note of a few instances that could easily relate to the science.…

    I live day to day, going through the works: wake up at the ungodly hour of six A.M., make it through my classes, two hours of volleyball, finally go home, repeat. But, in between all of the rushing, the yelling, the stress of high school, is when I get to relax. It’s when I get to forget about school, or as I call it “college auditions” and when I can just have a nice time without having to weigh the pros and cons of every thing I do. Every day, after the last bell rings, I navigate through the throngs of intimidating upperclassmen. It’s like The Hunger Games, stay calm, keep your head down, and try not to piss anyone off.…

    She didn’t remember who I was. Destroyed from the inside, and wanting to kill myself, I stopped texting her and cried by myself. It was one of the darkest days of my life. She was probably pretending because otherwise she would have said or commented about a disease she has the day I met her. My thoughts were that “She didn’t like me; she didn’t want something with me.”…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…
