Recommended: Harmful effects of alcohol essay

Red and green lights moving vividly. The smell of urine, marijuana, and beer pierced through my nostrils like a sword. It was my first house party. I saw some familiar faces among the crowd. Some people I would never have thought for them to have been there. As soon as one of my friends saw me walk into the room, she came running up to me and tried talking over the booming speakers that were next to us. "You want one?" I looked to see what she was pointing at and noticed the crystal bottle in her hand, the bubbly gold liquid was swaying inside the bottle as she moved from side to side. In that moment, I felt like I wasn’t there anymore, and I felt like I was in the living room with my dad. I remember him telling me stories about how alcohol ruined his life. The loud booming music interrupted my thoughts, so I pushed that thought out of my head and nodded.
By the third bottle, everything turned into a blur. I found myself thinking, "Is this really me? Why am I doing this?" I looked around the room, I saw people having fun, and I saw …show more content…

I struggled to catch my breath. My car was somewhere near the house stuck in all the madness so I decided to walk home. It was a cold night in September, and as I began to sober up and realizing how much trouble I could have gotten in if I had gotten caught. I snuck out, went to a party, and drank. Panic swept over as I reached my house. The usually welcoming yellow house looked menacing. As I approached my window. A light came on somewhere inside my house, and I froze. If my parents were awake and would have caught me, I knew it would be the end of me. I held my breath as I tried to jump in my window, and it felt as if the window was higher than it was when I first snuck out. I sighed as I landed on my bed and let my thoughts take me away. A piece of advice my father once gave me weighed down on my mind, “Nothing good happens after 2

    The night was tempestuous and my emotions were subtle, like the flame upon a torch. They blew out at the same time that my sense of tranquility dispersed, as if the winds had simply come and gone. The shrill scream of a young girl ricocheted off the walls and for a few brief seconds, it was the only sound that I could hear. It was then that the waves of turmoil commenced to crash upon me. It seemed as though every last one of my senses were succumbed to disperse from my reach completely. As everything blurred, I could just barely make out the slam of a door from somewhere alongside me and soon, the only thing that was left in its place was an ominous silence.

  • My Dinner Party Paper

    1964 Words  | 4 Pages

    I chose Akbar the Mughal Emperor, Procopius, and Thomas Aquinas as my three to attend a dinner party. I knew I wanted to write about knowledge. Originally, I wanted to include the Queen of Sheba as a member of the dinner party, but I questioned whether I would be able to include enough about this character. My first choice was Thomas Aquinas, because he focused on reason as a way to acquire knowledge. This means that knowledge is internal for him. One section in the Summa Theologica is the “Gift of Knowledge”. I also wanted to play with Aquinas’ writing style. I chose Akbar because he invited so many diverse scholars to speak about a wide array of topics. I use his character to discuss the ways we use knowledge. My final choice was Procopius. I chose Procopius instead of the Queen of Sheba, so I could bring up how we present our knowledge and how our knowledge evolves. Procopius wrote The Secret History and the History of the Wars. These works have alternate views of Justinian, that evolved with events during that time period. My goal is to find a conclusion from these about the value of knowledge, how knowledge is used, and how knowledge is presented.

When it was around 8pm, I started looking for the window. Touching my hands on the corners of the room, I finally found it.
