I Hate Reunion Short Story

Improved Essays
I hate reunions.

To start with, you see/ meet people you will probably never talk to again. I get that it was nice for the older generations of my family, but for me is was just going to be ehhh. I was going to have to sit in a room with old people that I'm almost forced to say hello to, and, then what? I'm not really the type to strike up a conversation with an adult I barely knew. The people I would've wanted to talk we were going to be busy. The whole thing seemed like one big awkward party, in my opinion. On the bright side, I knew a lot of food would be there.

*this is what I was thinking before the reunion*

Now, the reason I missed school Friday was because of this so called reunion. I knew my cousin Isabel would be in town and she was going to watch my younger cousin Brooklyn. I was also aware that my family was going to be running around like crazy, and I wanted to be apart of it. You know, to help out of course. Well, now it was Friday night and we met up at the New Berlin hotel they were all staying in. It was right next to The Ridge. (A movie theatre.) Of course though we got lost meaning that I had to go through this dumb round about four times. Round abouts make me want to puke, because of how much I despise them. If I puked, I'd end up puking again because of how much I am scared of puke. Anyway, the twenty of us piled into Applebee's for dinner. Everybody was at one

I was thinking the reunion would be well, no fun. Not that I'm a Debby Downer or anything. The starting time was around 12 and I had been there at 9. My mom mosed in around 11:30 ish. We took BK to go pick up my step dad since he had been back at the house. By the time we arrived at my Auntie Jenny's it was drizzling. We tried to play baseball but it sucked. So we ate food and played a little. Later it had started getting nicer out so we tried again. A lot of people wanted to play and it became really

    This was a day I’ll never forget, for this day while complaining about my family reunion to a coworker, named Terri, I was taught a valuable lesson about family when she invited me to attend her family reunion next June at the Corsicana State School. “You think your family is dysfunctional, come and meet mine” this exuberant woman exclaimed. This is her story. “There I was, this red-haired freckle faced scrawny kid aboard the Orphan train headed to the unknown”. One of ten children aboard that old, dusty, smelly black train car headed to Corsicana State Home.…

    It was late November on the day of the Egg Bowl in 2014. Mississippi State fans from all over Mississippi were traveling to Oxford to witness the Bulldogs to take on the Rebels. Just two days after Thanksgiving, it was a crisp and cold fall day. At the current time, I was more of a State fan over Ole Miss fan, so on that day I happened to be warmly dressed in maroon. Little did I know, dressing in maroon would turn out to be a horrible idea.…

    This fall break was a fall break that was absolutely but on the top of my list for the most memorable breaks that ill never forget and cherish forever in my heart. My 2015 fall break kicked off with the school movie night that happened in a way that I never thought of going down. I was surprised to be the first one there when I’m always late to church. The movie that we watched was “ the Martian “ that was honestly boring and used so many big words that I’ve never heard of or even use myself. While everyone was in the movies enjoying their greasy, salty popcorn, stall candies and there watery drinks I was outside in the cold waiting with my friend carol for her friend who never showed up.…

    The event I attended was Spirit Day at Poinciana campus on October 19th from twelve to two pm. That being said, I chose this event for the reason that I felt this occasion represents the identity and community shared by all the members of our institution. Not only that, but student involvement is important when representing your school and when improving your school environment. Thus, going to such event may have a significant impact on my college experience. This type of occurrence has the effect of making students feel more united, and unity only makes us stronger as individuals, which is why attending was important.…

    My First Time Babysitting It was a dark rainy Friday evening, school just let out for the weekend and I was free except I still had one thing to do left, as I was doing a weird walk jog across the campus while trying not to get soaked just to get to the main building, as my phone started to make this weird ringing noise and obviously I got a bunch of looks. When I looked at my phone I saw that my dad was calling me and when I answered my dad told me not to walk home in the rain and just wait it out. Once I got to the main high school building, I walked through the maze of hallways and lockers, and finally just finally I made it to the front of the building. It was still pouring down rain when I looked out of the window, by this time the storm was almost through…
