Descriptive Writing Prom Night

Great Essays
The sun is setting over beautiful Lake Erie. Almost everyone has gone home, back to the real world. Only a few locals are still on the beach. The sunset is a orangish pink color that changes mid-cloud. The transition of colors is so subtle and the waves are slowly rushing up the shoreline. The waves are no bigger than a hummingbird. The scenery is so calming that you can feel a swarm of butterflies take over your whole body and can lay back into the warm sand that embraces your body like a loving mother holding her baby for the first time. The landscape surrounding my blanket was more than inviting, however the people around me were not. It must have been a convention for tattoo enthusiasts and motorcycle gangs next to me. They had the whole entire beach to find a place …show more content…
“So, I bought the tickets and we both got our tuxes and dresses, and in a what seemed like a century it was finally prom night. So, I made sure I picked her up right on time trying to impress her parents. After a few pictures and awkward talks with John, Mary’s dad, we set off to the prom.
About half way through I realized the tickets were not in my pocket.” The bystanders erupted in laughter saying, “Ha classic Steve move”. Mary took over the storytelling stating, “I was heartbroken, I dreamed of this night for a month and a half. However, Steve made it up to me that night by bringing me to this beach. We sat here all night watching the stars and just talking.” Steve chimed in, “Yeah, that is the night little Tyler was conceived.”
Laughter filled the air and I knew this was my time to escape, so I ran to my car leaving my blanket and supplies behind. I heard too much. My cousin 's name was Steve and he is married to Mary. I am not positive it is them, however they both are bikers and their oldest son’s name is

    On the coast of the Jersey shore, lies a peaceful coastal city, Ocean City. Ocean city is a safe, dry island in southern New Jersey. The city becomes heavily populous with college students and suburban families as the climate turns from frigid to scorching. Ocean City is where many of my summer days were spent witnessing the gorgeous beach, roaming the board walk, dipping ice cream, and enjoying the day with close friends and family.…

    "Riley, I swear on everything holy in this god damn world, if we don't leave this party in thirty minutes, I will cut the face off of beary the bear bear!" Maya rants, frustrated that her overly sociable friend dragged her to Charlie Gardner’s Halloween party, which Riley described as, “what will be the most amazing wingding since Charlie Gardner’s Christmas shindig,” which of course made Maya give Riley a stern talk about her avoidance of the word party while instead using it’s many synonyms. “Maya, Maya, Maya, my dear peaches…,” Riley drawls out, clicking her tounge in fake annoyance, “Sitting at home and watching Netflix is not a good life choice.” Maya grins at her innocent, very oblivious friend, “And partying is, Riles?” Sometimes…

    I walked through the dust and dirt to the familiar nondescript building I had come to know and love: Merek South in Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Trumpet case in hand, I pushed open the teal double doors and was met with a wall of sound. I felt the corners of my mouth rise and give birth to an excited grin as I walked past the percussion equipment and other trumpet players to the only open seat, which stood out in sharp contrast against the sea of blue polo shirts and navy blue pants--the required uniform of the camp. I had attended Blue Lake before, but now I was about to embark on their international exchange program, which would bring me to France, Germany, and Holland for five weeks during the Summer. “Are you Patrick from Maryland,” asked a girl in the middle of the section who I later learned was Julia.…

    In Hawaii, waking to the red and blue birds chirping and the oceans waves crashing on to the shore is tremendously relaxing. Looking out the window of the hotel while lying in bed, one could see crystal blue ocean crashing onto the sandy white beaches. The sand on the beaches does not feel like the beach in Panama City Beach; it does not stick to you as much and it is easier to get off. The sand is bigger grains than one might be used to. On some of the islands in Hawaii, there are black sand beaches where the sand…

    For example, when I visit Santa Cruz I do not dare to go in the water because it is numbingly cold, but in Mexico the water is enjoyable at a lukewarm temperature. The stairway leading down to the beach felt like a mile long, but it was worth it once we got down. There was not much room to stand if not in the water; the tide came right up to the first step of the stairs. Since the waves slammed up against the big rocky cliff, it would drag down many small rocks onto the sand that made it painful to walk on. Once we pushed off the sand and began swimming it was very relaxing; the repetitive sound of the waves crashing gave me sense of comfort.…

    Although it sounds miserable, which admittedly it was for about the first five minutes, I ended up having an extraordinary time. I have never willingly wanted to spend time in Nature or outside, but I could have stayed on this beach for the rest of my life. It was a super peaceful experience, and I do not think it could have been experienced anywhere else. Going to the beach with people you like and care for can make the experience even better than it would be entially. I got the chance…

    The Trip to the Grocery Store I haven’t seen him in weeks or maybe even months, I thought as I glared across the small distance between where I was standing and my dad’s car. With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…

    The one thing that most everyone, at one time or another, looks for is love. In order for that to happen, one would have to go on an event that is called a first date. Everyone has this idea that being asked on a first date is the scariest part, but in actuality, it is going on that first date that is scary. If the date goes well, then that leads to the second date, the third date, and sometimes more that. However, the first date, it seems to lay the groundwork for the future relationship, if there is one.…

    My husband is an entertainer and most times, when he had a wedding reception to DJ, he would bring me along to help set up the equipment and gives me a chance to get out of the house. We were doing a reception at a large resort and as always, he got the party bustling. The only problem is, I’m not really the outgoing type of person so I usually just sit around for 4-5 hours, getting a couple of drinks while he works the party people. This was no different than the others at first.…

    In 2004 my family and I made our first trip to the beach. The adventure seemed to take a lifetime to reach our destination. Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time. My brother and I would play video games and watch movies to past the time away and eat the snacks mom would pack us.…
