Pt 1:
It's my sophomore year of high school. My three best friends and I decide to sneak out the first day of our winter break to go hang out with some of our guy friends. It was one of the foggiest nights Galesburg has ever seen. We end up and Lake Story, a local park in my hometown of Galesburg. After hanging out there for a little while we decide to head out because it was getting late and we didn't want our parents to get suspicious. There are six of us in a five seated SUV. None of us have our seat belts on and we are blasting the music. The driver was trying to show off by driving too fast and cutting corners sharp. Just as he was turning onto Log City Trail, he loses control and the vehicle begins spinning wildly heading towards a deep creek full of water, trees, and other debris All of a sudden Wonder Woman comes flying in out of nowhere, fast, beautiful, and blonde! She grabs a hold of the SUV and with her super strength, quickly stops the car from rolling down into the crick.
Now this story would have been ideal if Wonder Woman would have came in and saved the day but unfortunately she did not. We did roll into the creek and all came out a horrible mess with branches in our hair, clothes ruined, and tears running down our faces but we all made it out alive and well thankfully.
Pt 2:
I experience nostalgia frequently I feel. When I'm writing a huge college paper or studying for finals, I long for the days when school was a walk in the park. In elementary school all I had to worry about was taking naps or being able to name the capital of each of the fifty states. In junior high all I was concerned with was whether or not I would make the volleyball or basketball team every year. In high school my worries were my friendships or making the cheer leading squad. Now I have all sorts of things on my mind. Am I going to find and internship, will I ever figure out my career path, will I ever find the right guy for me. Maybe I had it too easy growing up and now real life is kicking in. Maybe thinking about this past time period will remind me that I need to get my butt in gear because life isn't easy when you start getting older and I must work for things in life or I won't get anywhere.
I was also in a car wreck and wished a superhero would have stopped it from happening haha. Me and my brother rolled a vechile into a ditch when it was extremely icy out. Superheroes should be around to prevent these things from happening.
ReplyDeleteThank god for wonder woman coming to save the day. I feel like your post was similar to mine as far as the nostalgia portion goes, I miss the days when times were simple. It feels like the older you get the more complex things are but I guess that just comes with life.
ReplyDeleteYour "fiction suit" sound horrible! Being that young I bet all your parents were thrilled... I like your view of nostalgia. Your past reminds you of how easy you actually had it and now life's paying you back by making it rough. I guess that's where the phrase "Life's a bitch" comes from.
