Narrative Essay About A Fall Break

Superior Essays
Last weekend was Fall Break, which is why I got to spend time with you guys. It was super chill, and I really loved it. You guys are home. We can chill out, eat, talk, watch a movie, play a game, laugh, cry, anything. Thank you for that...for being home. I want to tell MC Mama T and DJ Alex this (WhatsApp chat insider), but I don’t know how. I guess I can say it just like I wrote it. I slept for the rest of the weekend. I was really exhausted from exams. I was also emotionally exhausted from missing my dad. I escaped CU for the weekend, but I was suffocated by grief, so the break wasn’t as restful as I would’ve liked.

My midterms were ok. I’m looking at Bs and Cs right now, which is fine. I just need the bare minimum to graduate. I’m trying

Not well…It’s been a really good weekend, but I’m overall struggling. I’m not proud of what I’m doing with my heart and time. I miss Billy; my heart and thoughts deceive me; it’s a constant battle. I miss thinking about GOD in the morning, afternoon and night. I miss daydreaming and contemplating GOD. I think a lot about what’s the next bad thing that can happen. Who will die next? Will I make it to graduation? What catastrophe will strike? I’ve been thinking about the meaning and purpose of life; about how I want to define my life; about what I value. I’ve been feeling inadequate as a leader in IV. I’m so emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually exhausted all the time. There was a theme of “reminding yourself of who you really are” in your letters. Our identities are rooted in GOD. I’ve lost sight of that...My identity in Christ is not my rock anymore...I don’t know when it stopped being my rock...I want to start writing poetry again. I need to dedicate time to it just like I need to dedicate time for a devotional. I need to spend more time with myself to give myself a space to heal independently from my …show more content…
All the essays done? I’m really excited about Princeton. The friends I met from Princeton this summer are great. They seem really cool. Maybe im generalizing way too much, but Princeton doesn’t seem to have the air of arrangance and snobbery that CU has some times. I wish I wouldve let my mom in to my college experience. I kept it from my family because I didn’t know how to include them. Now that I’m applying to jobs, I’m trying to include my mom, but its frustrating some times. She doesn’t copletely understand how the job search works or what my goals for my career are. I still want to continue to include her, though. It’s interesting that CU and Brown are optional when at one point you were sure about them. I’m glad you have peace about the

    Dear, Point Pleasant Beach High School I would like to thank Beach's program for touring me around the school during the open house and Dr. Grosshandler for taking the time out of his day to discuss my possible future with Point Pleasant Beach and its amazing academic program. Beach has gained a reputation of producing intelligent students and sending them off to college. Being considered for a program with such a productive system brings a monumental amount of joy to me and my family. Over the course of this school year, I have begun to realize the difference between my old school, Point Pleasant Boro, and my new school, Spring Lake Heights. Heights has a smaller population which benefits the students for multiple reasons.…

    Maxfield, I thought it would be a good idea to write you a letter rather than yell or cry over FaceTime. I know that’s all I’ve been doing and I want to make a difference in how I speak to you for once. I’m going to tell you everything I can’t say in person in this letter so that at least you can read it and not be stressed that I’m crying or getting mad at you.…

    Life's a journey worth taking the unbeaten path. That is why, despite looking up to my loving parents and having the utmost respect for them, I have taken a different road than they did. However, undergoing any challenge without their guiding experience can certainly prove to be an undertaking. I, a first generation college student, am the pioneer of higher education for my family. Though I join many others in lunging out into the world for the first time, I am doing so without having a father or mother to tell me how to tackle the college experience.…

    Being a first-generation college student, I understand the challenges that students of similar backgrounds face due to not having parents to lean on for academic support. Having received guidance from different programs regarding the transfer process, I used the knowledge I obtained to do something that gave three of my closest friends, who are from similar backgrounds and don’t have such resources, an experience that would ignite the same passion and desire that I have to succeed in college. This was accomplished during the summer of 2015 when I researched, planned, and carried out a trip to various UC, CSU, and private schools throughout northern and southern California. By visiting new universities and visiting academic departments, I hoped…
