An Embarrassing Moment Analysis

Improved Essays
There I was, after a painstakingly long night, clicking print and falling asleep. After the longest night of my life, I finally got some much needed rest. I had stayed up all night to finish the hardest term paper of my life. My first college semester was about to end in a disaster. I had neglected to write a ten-page term paper for my Logic. I left myself with one night to write this monstrosity. I was a foolish child; I chose to procrastinate the entire semester. For months I had known about the paper yet I chose to brush it off until the last possible moment. I got home from school the day before it was due; I had exactly sixteen hours before I had to hand the paper in. I can not explain why I still could not manage to write the paper. Ignoring all the alerts on my phone, and the awful feeling of guilt, I decided to sit down and play some video games. Video games can only satisfy me for a brief amount of time until I get hungry and require some real nutrients. Luckily, my mother had prepared a light dinner for me, and I could save time by not having to cook my own food. She made her mouthwatering barbecue chicken in a …show more content…
I grabbed some snacks from the pantry, a Naked Juice from the mini-fridge, and my headphones. I planted myself at the counter and told myself I wasn’t going anywhere until I pounded out at least five pages. I put on a Spotify playlist, designed to help you focus, and I began my work. Naked Juice’s are my version of a healthy energy drink. After about thirty minutes of working, my mother walks out of her bedroom. Now in my house, everyone except my older brother and I, is in bed, and asleep by nine o’clock, so my mother to walking out at nine-thirty was a surprise. She told me, “It’s too late for you to be up on your iPad. Go to bed.” I wasn’t about to tell her that I waited until now to write a ten-page essay, so I simply said, “Yes ma’am,” and went to

    Saying by to Momma Skitles and Daddy Spree, I walked into my new sanitized room.

    The computer screen stared back into my soul as I began to read directions about the assignment. It seemed like a decent amount of research was needed, so I opened a new tab to see my best friend, Google. Each click of the mouse seemed to make a different noise, some loud, some soft, some high pitched, some a hollow noise. I scrolled through each unappealing page, and it felt like I was staring into the sun. I could not stand to look at this paper for another minute, but I still had a long way to go.…

    I have never enjoyed writing because I don't think I am good writer. I never want to sit down and write what ever is on my mind. English is one of my toughest subjects because since I’m not good at it, I haven’t taken the time to learn it properly, which makes it hard. In 8th grade, we were assigned a Research Paper. We were suppose to write at least 6-8 pages.…

    I was drowning out the world with the music playing through my phone, twirling the headphone cord around my finger. My hand brushed across the paper as I erased some pencil markings. I observed the text on the brightly lit screen of my chromebook, searching for the answers to the questions on my homework. I stared at the screen with a look of confusion on my face. Little did I know that the next few moments would put my hard work to some use.…

    Throughout the first semester of College Composition, I wrestled with three essays, all differing in format and content. The first was a narrative that reflected our educational experience. After this came an analysis of a visual text, followed by a research paper. The narrative was the easiest to write; however, I acquired important skills for writing the other two, which were in a less familiar format. With the three essays, I learned about my own writing skills and habits concerning development and critical thinking, time management, and organization.…

    It was a Thursday night, on my first week of kindergarten. I hadn’t made many friends because I was so use to playing with my sister, that I wasn’t sure if I knew how to make friends. I wasn’t shy when I was around my immediate family, but if you would put me in a room with people that I didn’t know. Well, I wouldn’t say a word. I would be so quiet that I would just sit there and you could forget that I was in the room.…
