Duffel bag

pulled me closer. It was almost seven and he would be here soon. Thank god because all I had done was listen to the clock tick by, for forty-five minutes. I stood by the window with my small duffel bag; I didn’t want him thinking I was one of those “over packers,” since we had never gone away together. My parents were hovering around me, it was the first time I had ever gone away without them. Unfortunately, I was the oldest. Parents make all the mistakes with their first child. My mom calls me “her first pancake,” to make light of all the mistakes we’ve made as mother and daughter. From the corner of my eye, I saw his 1999 Honda CRV, humming up our driveway. His standard poodle’s head was hanging out the backseat window: I like big dogs. I was nervous, but I didn’t want to show it. Keegan had been my boyfriend for a year now; therefore, I shouldn’t be anxious, but I always am. If I’m being honest, it was probably stemming from the fact that Keegan wanted to take me sailing. I had never been sailing before and unfamiliar tasks always stressed me out. He parked the car and advanced forward and made small talk with my parents. He assured them he would drive safely and take good care of me up north for the week. I believed he would. After hugging and kissing them both, I loaded my small duffle bag into the back with Mike. Keegan’s car had such a distinct smell, like cigarettes and stale McDonald's. I sat amongst crumpled papers, with song lyrics scratched along the…

After cleaning the whole apartment, I hear a knock on the door, could it be the exterminator? Please be the exterminator. Thank goodness, it’s the exterminator and he sprays my whole apartment and ensures that I shouldn’t be seeing anymore cockroaches or bugs of any kind.…

There is one day between now and the weightlifting competition and I still need to get back home to New York City. I took the elevator back down to the lobby and ran into a room full of laptops. I go into the computer lab and look up Lax airport so I can get a plane ticket back home. Looking at all of these outrageous prices for one flight and it's a one way flight. I look at southwest and they were the cheapest out of all of the other airlines. But there's one problem this 10,000 dollars in…

though, well heaven’s waiting for you, but first you have to collect a minimum of 1,000 souls, For what I haven’t hurt anyone?! Technically you did Oliver…. How? The car you crashed into killed the driver, and severely hurt a young girl, when you 're ready she will be the 1,000th soul your hands will carry here; From that day on, I’d go from hospitals, to car crash scenes, to jails, in search of the next unwilling soul to be collected. First I’d approach the troubled soul, tell them who I am,…

product I should continue using; and even if they are recyclable, I should strive to lower my usage as the recycling process contributes to the emissions issue and part of the on-going problem with climate change. But, although removing usage of plastic bags are great, I am still unsure of how I would replace the trash bags I use in my house. As the convenience of trash bags is a majorly important product in my life, it will be a challenge to immediately change it to anything else. So, the issue…

It was on an early morning during the fall, a Monday. We were all getting ready for a “long” trip. The four of us, each carrying a thick, heavy duffle bag. Cramming in our oversized bags, only two could fit in the trunk of our small white sedan. The sedan was about as small as a smart car. We decided to put the remaining bags at our feet. “Shotgun,” I yelled. In the back of my mind, I knew calling for the front passenger seat was a bad idea when I saw one of the duffle bag taking up the whole…

With political debates centering around greater environmental issues such as climate change, air pollution, and the alleged fifth mass-extinction, a dog-owner may wonder why signs saying “please pick up after your dog” are appearing more and more in neighborhoods and parks. However, with 83 million dogs in the US producing 10.6 million tons of poo a year (Freinkel 2014), a contributor to the intensification of these greater environmental issues is the methane produced by this waste and the…

box of cereal. I am also tasked with taking out the garbage. It isn’t a hard job, but my grandma is set in her ways, so everything has to be done a certain way. For instance, the garbage in the bathroom, which is already in a white Walmart bag, must be dumped into a grey Walmart bag before being put in the large, white garbage bag from the kitchen. Additionally, things like banana peels cannot simply be thrown into the garbage.They must be wrapped in paper towel and put into a smaller bag, like…
