Bear at the Door

Blog Journal 1: 
1) Meta has an interview for her dream job and she's sure to get it, her resume is incredible. One problem, when she gets there she realizes the interview is being held on the top floor of a skyscraper and she has a truly debilitating heights. What will Meta do?
2) Mari is applying to Ivy Leagues and double-checking her grades for this semester before they're finalized and she submits her applications. She sees her teacher made a genuine mistake in the grade book, bringing her grade to a C. But Mari has intense social anxiety, what will she do?
3) Holly's friends and she boated to a small island offshore on their favorite lake. Holly can't find them though and realizes they forgot her there, her phone is on the boat, and she doesn't know how to swim. What will she do?

It was like any other summer day, Holly woke up to a text from her group chat asking if everyone was down for a beach day. Holly replied immediately and asked when they would be picking her up. She really loved getting to run around on the beach with her friends and feel the sun warm her skin. When they all got there the plan instantly changed though, some of the guys wanted to boat to the island a mile or so offshore and hang out there for the day. "At least we aren't swimming there," Holly thought, "That would be awkward considering I can't". They all piled onto someone's boat and headed to the island. Everything was great until Holly went off to explore on her own and came back to an empty beach, seeing the boat had sailed away. She started to panic and felt tears well up in her eyes, desperately she started to search for her phone but couldn't find it anywhere. She realized she had to find a way to float herself to shore, or at least close enough for them to hear her yell out. Holly searched the beach and found two old arm floaties and blew them up. She started to walk into the water when she realized they barely kept her float. Holly started trying to swim as best as she could, using all her strength. Yelling to her friends when her head was above the water. Eventually, they heard her and came to her rescue, everyone looked like they felt really bad. A little traumatized since she had almost made it to shore herself, Holly angrily called an uber and left what was supposed to be a day of fun.

Week 14 blog journals

1: Sam didn't mean to burn his house down. He was so worried about how his parents would react when they got home to see their home as a pile of ashes he started to tear up. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and was worried he was about to have a heart attack. He tried to keep himself calm but the longer he looked into the direction of where his house once stood the worse the pain got. Sam started hyperventilating and couldn't breathe. Maybe it was the ash in his lungs? Everything felt wrong and he hoped that this was all just a bad dream. 2: Cut your story by 25% The morning started like any other, Clarissa burst through the front doors of her 5 th  avenue apartment building and ran out into the street. Her hair wasn’t combed, blouse unbuttoned, and last night's mascara caked the underneath of her eyes.  She had  an  uncontrollable twitch in her neck she couldn’t shake  too, and it was starting to piss her off .  This was a  pretty typical ...

What is a Word Worth? nostalgia

Sara and I are laughing so hard we can't breathe, her company is so warm and welcoming. I've never felt so comfortable and safe with any person in my life, we are truly best friends. As the roar of laughter settles to some giggles I realize just how late it's gotten, 8pm. I look outside to see the sky ablaze with a sunset burning in purples and oranges. I give Sara a hug and thank her for having me over, reaching for my skateboard and fly out the front door. Skating down our neighborhood to my house I stop to look up at that gorgeous sunset. It's the prettiest I've ever seen, it looks like it was painted. I take a deep breath and smell the blooming jasmine flowers that line our streets, the gulp of air rejuvenating with springtime California air. As I keep going I'm plagued with the thought that someday soon I'll no longer have the safety net of Sara and simple days like these, that one day these memories will be riddled with painful nostalgia. N ostalgia....

Animal Instinct

1: Long brown hair, with a slight curl pattern but not equally defined throughout her head. Brown eyes. Average height 5'5. A smaller head for the body and a square jawline. Wide eyes, a pointy upturned nose, average lips but with a very defined cupid's bow. A smaller forehead too, so her hair isn't styled into bangs. She has a more boxy body type, so her waist and hips are of a similar size. Most of her shape would come from her shorter and muscular legs. She is a normal weight and very toned. She wears sweaters a lot with either leggings or ripped jeans. She's an on the go and active girl so comfortable and effortless fashion is more up her alley. She sticks to a tried and true pair of black hightop converse. 2: Picture was drawn! I'll try to insert it soon 3: Well, I drew a wolf and a college-aged girl, and I imagined her to encounter the animal on a late-night walk home from the library. They're both afraid of each other, but the wolf presents itse...
