Personal Narrative: Waking Up

Improved Essays
Waking up has always been difficult for me. I never wake up at a specified time, but I try. It's the thought that counts right? After hitting snooze about 5 times, I finally wake up around 7 everyday. I usually end up late to work and school but I like to think of it as my signature. I always skip breakfast, I'll have a coffee but I don't think that counts. I eat sparsely throughout the day because I'm so occupied with school, not to mention dealing with the stress doesn't help. I've never been the kind of person to work around a schedule so that can make it hard to operate correctly on a daily basis. When it comes to food I am the poster child for a poor college student. I stick to ramen with minimal snacks because I can't afford them. Rarely, when I can afford snacks, I buy fruit. All my fruit has to be crunchy or I will not eat it, excluding mangoes of course.

I probably annoy my brother the most because I don't take my laundry out the dryer and I also use the last of the toilet paper and leave it for him to change. What can I say, that's just me being me! We also always have those little water flavoring packets and when I open one I always leave the wrapper on the counter and that irritates everyone. I am not the most organized person, however, I always thought organized people were boring. I never want to be a scripted person living everday by everyone else rules. I feel as though its appropriate to make your own rules sometimes. You're not really living if you're doing the same thing everyday, so I try to add in something different. Sometimes that may be talking to new people or trying something new and out of my comfort zone like

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    The day started like any other Monday, waking up to the super bright blinding light shining through my window. Ugh how I loathe waking up like this, forcing my eye lids to open up and allow for my sight to kick I only resulting in them sling-shoting shut again. I continue with this common practice for another 20 minutes or so before I rise from my mildly comfortable bed. I'm awake I gather my things and package my iPad and charger. And I head out to my dads truck where I put my bags and return to house to look for a morning snack, which I don't have any luck with.…

    For example, I hate when people come late; people who send me a game request on Facebook, even I am not playing the game at all; people left the food in the sink after they are done with their washing dishes or not washing them at all. Of all these pet peeves, one made me most uncomfortable is when people leave leftover the food in the sink and do not clean the dishes. When I was in Vietnam, my older brother has OCD, so he basically cleans entire house every Saturday. My mom is the same, they both like cleaning. My house most of the time is very clean…
