If You Give a Girl a Waffle: An Autobiographical Essay Waffles are simple. My life at this time was anything but simple. My mom went to the store that day and brought home a box of Hungry Jack pancake mix. She knows that I like the Hungry Jack brand the best even if we already had a nearly full box of Bisquick hiding in the lazy susan. I like perfection and I don’t handle change well so I got out the measuring cups and portioned all the ingredients out and let my boyfriend Tristin added the eggs, milk and oil in a big red bowl. I taught him how to hold the bowl perfectly angled in the crook of your waist and to whisk the concoction together by using the perfect ratio of gentle and vigorous oval shaped whisks. Tristin knew I needed a splash of something stimulating to get me back at least briefly into the spontaneous and jolly Hannah that I had filed away and buried deep into my subconscious months earlier. He added some… when I say some I mean the entirety of a twelve ounce bag of mini dark chocolate chips into the batter and then looked up at me with a goofy grin on his face. I cracked a genuine smile for the first time in months. I needed this quite comical action to bring me back to reality.
Calling my life an emotional trainwreck would have been putting it gently. My parents

I avoided telling him or really anyone for three months. I gave myself excuses. I’ll do it in the next week… I had a lot of homework the next few days so I blew off my deadline. I’ll do it before Spring Break… I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s vacation and have them worry about me. I didn’t want to ruin Prom. I was busy running between the house and where my dad was staying. I didn’t want to worry anyone before for finals. Notice the pattern I was making? This went on for over three whole months. I tormented myself for 84 days keeping this a

Two hours later I had a full breakfast meal cooked: perfectly crisp brown bacon,…

    Pancakes Vs. Waffles

    Waffles usually have a hard, crunchy texture, with a soft inside. People usually like to fill the little “holes” on top of the waffle with syrup. But others prefer to dip the waffle in syrup. This tasty breakfast food usually has the same ingredients as pancakes, maybe little differences, like adding more sugar or vegetable oil, but they both have the same concept. But waffles are cooked in a waffle…

    He was my classmate during my 5th and 6th year of elementary. He was a really nice guy and brought me gifts from time to time. However, I didn’t feel the same way he felt about me. Eventually he wrote me a love letter. Needless to say, I read it, and I threw it away. ‘Somehow’ my dad found out and I got in trouble., even though I really didn’t really like him back. You see, my dad didn’t want me to date until I was 30, so him reading the love note Arthur gave me, and reading the words “I really want to kiss you” kind of got him really mad. So the next day, I told him off and never spoke to him again. That was my first…

    I grew up in a family of four boys and although we always fought and drove my parents crazy we always got along at the end of the day because we love each other. I always felt comfortable going to my parents or family for help or if something was bothering me, but for some reason at the end of my junior of high school I was going through something that I felt like I couldn’t explain our express my emotions fully to my family. I grew up in a super competitive environment were sports controlled a lot of my emotions and feelings. I wasn’t playing on the high school team and was on the bench when my twin brother was playing and getting a lot of attention because of the success he was having on the field. This made things especially difficult for me as it increased all the stress in my life immensely. I felt like I was letting my father down which became really hard for me because I looked up to him so much, but felt like I was failing him in so many ways. I had no idea how to express my feelings of emotions to my father and family because I feared what they would think of me. I though that my dad would see me as weak or just wanting attention. I also though he would just tell me, to suck it up and figure it out on my own. I became invisible hiding all of my emotions from the world and too my family and all the people around me that loved and cared about me. After months of coping with this stress I finally decided to go to my older brother because I realized that it hurt to much to contain my emotions. To this day it was one of the best decisions I ever made and improved my relationship with him more than I could have ever imagined. He told me how he, just like me had felt the same way I had once upon a time and how he would always be there to help me out and…

    Third, how am i going to hide this white slip from my parents, especially dad? The most memorable thing that we ever did was actually fight each other over the dumbest things but one fight in particular being more memorable than all the others. One day Luis dropped his bracelet in the bathroom, Andrew and I found it but Luis was more my friend than he was Andrews, nevertheless I knew Andrew as a thief not many others did but I knew and that was enough to make me take the bracelet out of his hand, he then yelled at me to give it back and that he was going to give it back to Luis, I went with my gut and said no, he followed up with yelling the same thing again (as if I was going to change my mind the second time he said it) and jumped on my back and started choking me with his arms as if giving my neck the world's biggest bear-hug, so I backed up quickly so he would hit his head on the corner of the stall, he then let go and screamed out writhing in pain like a three year old who just got their toy taken…

    For my first birthday my mom made me a white cake with chocolate frosting. There were pink sprinkles laced along the edge and a prominently placed “1” candle in the middle. I was too young to remember this yummy cake, however, there is photographic evidence that more of the cake made into my hair then ever did into my mouth. What I do remember about my birthday is asking my mom to make me a different kind of cake every year. I could never pick a favorite; there were far too many cakes to pick from.…

    You see this is an essay..because I lied for 3 weeks. About what you may ask? Well about a boy who asked me out on November 20. I knew I should’ve told mom; I had a feeling in my gut to do so, but I guess when I tried it wasn’t the best time since she had a bad day at work and started to spaz out about everything. When she does this she makes herself feel overwhelmed with nothing but her own thoughts, everything was fine. That was the day I had my first kiss. Also on that day I told Ariana about what happened, she advised me to tell mom as well but I chose not to try again. When I did tell mom however it was not by my own choice, it was when she asked me herself. On that day it felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders like I didn’t have to put on a certain act. After that day everything involving Zarious and I’s relationship went by fast. In the next 5 minutes after the confession I called my father. I told him about what happened and it went surprisingly 100 percent less vituperating than I anticipated. Which to be very honest scared the heck out of me. Then I found out he was coming on Saturday and I just had a heart attack right then and there on the just sweeped…
