Upside-Down
The morning of 27 February 2013 was just like any other morning of the year. Allow me to walk you through it. My mother woke me up in a fit of rage, as she usually does (apparently I don’t wake up swiftly enough for her). After dragging myself out of bed, I threw some clothes together to look good for the ladies, and then ate some breakfast to keep myself energized for said ladies. Afterwards, I brushed my teeth, put on deodorant, and brushed my hair (don’t want to look and smell like a hobo). Finally, I kissed my mommy and said bye as I headed out the door to go to school. At this point, I hopped in my car and proceeded to plug my phone in to the stereo. If I recall correctly,

The paramedics found it necessary to put a neck immobilizer on me, which prevented me from moving my neck in any way at all, then loaded me in the back of the ambulance. If I were Bruce Banner, I would’ve gone Hulk mode on them in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I’m Justin Smith, so all I could do was lay there and take it. I put up a pretty good fight though. I soon found out that squirming around made the paramedics quite mad. After figuring this out, I began to do it quite often just to spite them. I think the most common phrase I heard in the back of the ambulance that day was “Calm down there.” Little did they know, infuriating them was actually calming me down. Silly …show more content…
There was one minor flaw in my plan though; my phone was in my car (hopefully). I told my mom and she took me by the towing service where I saw the scraps of what remained of my car. I instantly dove into the mangled mess of metal and broken glass in hopes of finding my precious phone. I searched far and wide for it, but found nothing. Then I heard a beautiful noise; BZZZZZ. BZZZZZ. The sound of what I thought was my hopelessly lost phone lit up my day like a firework. I found it lying under my seat without a single scratch on it. I would make a Lord of the Rings reference, but I would probably get chastised for being too

    It was a day like any other. I woke up, ate breakfast, went to the gym for a couple of hours to lift and exercise, then off to the car factory for work. I work six hours, then I go to the bar with my friends from work. Sam and Tyson were good buddies of mine. You ever seen Dumb and Dumber? Imagine them as bikers. Yup, that was my two friends. Nah, they were smart enough like me. We would always drink and crack jokes. Not today, though. As Sam was hitting on the bartender, my cell phone rang. I pulled it out of my jeans, told Sam and Tyson I’d be back, and went to the little hallway to the bathroom. I answered it.…

    I am a very forgetful person. I can lose things within minutes and have absolutely no idea as to where it is. Consequently, being that person can be very tough because no one really trust you with their belongings, you lose everything and it becomes very frustrating, etc. So it is very of the norm for me to causally misplace my phone. One day while leaving the mall after a day of handing out with friends I realized I misplaced my phone. I didn’t really give it much thought because this is a normal habit for me. However, it wasn’t until I got home that I realized, “I really don’t have my phone.” I went straight into panic mode because I realized that it could be anywhere, with anyone. After about forty-five minutes of crying and searching,…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…
