Personal Narrative: The Music In The Dorm Room

Decent Essays
Both my friend Jacqui and I were both just in our dorm rooms at around 10o’clock on a Thursday night, I had just finished homework about to jump into bed. We were just texting back and forth as usual, until we both brought up the Silent Disco that was happening behind the Dance hall. We were curious about the event, and wanted to attend but it seem too late to go because it was just about to end at 11. We went anyways, in the clothes we sleep in. Arriving we had to give them our IDs and grab mega head phones to listen to the music. This was oddly different because the DJ was not producing music through giant speakers, the music was coming out of the mega headphones. We had to hear the music from the mega headphone in order to jam out. There

    I then looked down in order to not become disoriented by the lights and I realized that this “dance floor” consisted of just a muddy pit that had a minimal amount grass. Because of this, everyone left the event with brown/orange tinted shoes from the mud on the ground. So once we finally got into the smoke-filled room with blinding lights, there was music playing very loud. The DJ was positioned high above the crowd, so it was hard to see him from where I was positioned.…

    The hardest thing I’ve ever went through? Let me take you back to almost three years ago to a very cold Thursday morning in January. I was sitting in history class when suddenly something very strange happened; the announcement speakers came on. To most people it would seem like it was a very typical day to day event to listen to announcements; but at my school announcements were rarely ever said. My classroom got completely silent; to the point where you could have heard a pin drop.…

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it. I wanted to transfer to the traditional high school in my neighborhood, but changed my mind after a talk with one of my professors. She helped me to recognize that if I quit not only would I be throwing away the work that I did do, but I’d also be preventing myself from seeing what work I could do. I took that seed of information and turned it into a tree of motivation.…

    Every since 7th grade I was in ABC. ABC is an advance class of orchestra where we play anything but classical music, hence the name. ABC was a class that started before school, and anyone who was in 7th or 8th grade could join. Usually our orchestra teacher was Mr. Hudson but the teacher for ABC was Mrs. Dykman. ABC music in middle school is meant to be harder and faster but at the time the music seemed easier and I was ready for a challenge.…

    What could I clean in my room for Spring Break? I could probably clean the papers lying all over my room that my little sister throws everywhere. My room is very messy with papers that have scribbles on them from my sister. I should also clean my closet because it is filled with old clothes that are too small for me to wear. I can also clean all of my sister’s toys that are under my bed.…

    The day of August 27, 2012 I was officially titled a freshman. One look down those unknown red and blue walls, will forever change my perspective of high school.

From that first day, I knew I wasn’t like everyone else.…

    Hamilton took me by surprise. I knew it was a small liberal arts college, but I had no grasp on how unique and genuine the community was. So many people said hi to my tour guide, Emily, as she showed me around -- including the line cook in the dining hall! I also heard how a student emailed 10 alumni to help her with something, and all of them replied to her. This kind of close-knit, loving family is what I want in a college experience.…
