My Life Is a Routine
A Routine Life to One Person
May Be a Glamorous One to Another

It started out as a typical boring day. It is amazing that one can be so accustomed to a certain way of life, be so bored and restless, and then suddenly something sneaks in and alters one’s whole perspective. That something was one of my life’s little lessons. It was a hot and humid Tuesday morning which was typical for North Carolina. I had gotten up, did my toiletries, made breakfast, and prepared to go to work. I had been in this routine for the past three years. As normal, I was running late. I dashed outside, nearly slipping on the ground, and jumped into my 2004 Camry. I turned on my favorite radio station G105, a morning talk show featuring Bob and Madison. It seemed they always had some funny topic going on and that put me in good spirits. After all, I felt my middle name should have been called Routine. Any humor that kept me from remembering my routine life was icing on my otherwise boring cake. I worked at Papa John’s and Clyde, the manager, always seemed to be in a bad mood. That day started out the same, with Clyde and his bad mood. This didn’t shock me in the least. Due to this, I would simply grab an order, slip out, and start my work. I was doing my routine and zoning out in an effort to make it through the day. Needless to say, I felt my life was so routine and boring that I wished I was anywhere but there. You might say I felt sorry for myself. When I finally got to my destination and knocked on the door to deliver the pizza, a fat man answered, belching as he opened the door. A small woman sat huddled in the background with a child in her lap. The man shot her a dirty look, grabbed the pizza, paid, and slammed the door. The life lesson I learned that day, was that my life may be routine and boring but way better than what that poor woman and her child had to put up with. My life probably looked glamorous to her and I bet she would have traded with me.

    Today started like any other day. Mom came in and woke me up. I was still groggy like an old person waking up from a deep sleep. My mom laid out my clothes last night. She takes care of me like a king takes care of his people. I do not know what I would be without her.Once I got dressed and mom helped me put my shoes on. We walked downstairs and Lindsey and Shannon, my sisters, were getting ready for school. I walked downstairs to the first floor and saw my dad leaving. I ran to him to give him a good bye hug. Then I had breakfast. I am pretty sure that it was scrambled eggs with ketchup. My life is as hectic as an exterminator during an infestation. Or so I thought.…

    It was just a boring day in my hometown, a traditional, weak entrance a lot of narrative stories use to try to get the attention of the readers. This story, however, isn’t one of those traditional stories; this one involves a day that had been exciting up to that point already. The memory that resonates daily throughout my mind would have to be the time when I went to Six Flags for the first time in my life. Before I jump into my story, I should tell you my friends mess with each other a lot, almost to the point where we get into fights with each other.…

    Today is a special day. It’s one of those normal Sundays, bright, clear, with sunshine. I got up late in the morning and had a breakfast lunch. I went to watch football match and cheered for my schoolmates. I played basketball in the evening and won the very crucial game. I did nothing special; nevertheless, it’s a special day. I awoke to see bright sun light when the kids in Sichuan Province were suffering a disastrous earthquake. I jumped very high to make a basket when many people even have difficulty walking. I have friends to share happiness and sadness. I have a beloved mother to care about me. I am so lucky today that it’s a special day for me.…

    It started out as like any other Saturday. I woke up and drew back my Star Wars blanket to expose my feet to the cool air of my still dark room. My feet swung over the side of the bed to meet the ice rink which acted as my bedroom floor. Sure the floor was always cold, but it was better than any alarm clock when you needed to wake up. My feet continued their groggy journey to the bathroom where my daily ritual of bathing, brushing, and combing would soon begin. Halfway through brushing my teeth, I realized this may have started as an ordinary Saturday, but it definitely was not going to end that way. This was the day I was going to going to try out for little league baseball.…

    Trying to go to school the next day. Standing in the shower thinking maybe if I dont get out I wouldn't have to start my day and move on with it all. But as the water turns to a shivering cold I realize it’s all too real. Pushing through the first five periods of the day, the last three seemed as too much. Feeling as if I will never be able to be happy again. All these gloomy days crafted me into who I am today. This whole experience making me grow up just a little bit faster, and a little more mature and understanding seeming as I already live the life as an adult, but only being a…

    I was making a grande vanilla bean frappiccino while other customers were waiting in line to have their order taken. Business was slow that day, but heck, everyday at my job was a slow one. I would think to myself, Why the hell am I still working here? when this place gets no business at all. Of course, I work at Starbucks, not the ones that you see on the corner of the streets, but I worked at the one in Target.…

    It was a simple beginning to a beautiful day in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The dry morning air brought a wealth of warmth to my tired skin. "Today is a day of opportunity," I thought. I would hopefully be entering the work force after a long battle with unemployment. I was excited because my days were filled with nothing but boredom and my mind was occupied with nothing but despair. Hopefully, today would be the day that I left my past behind me.…
