The Beginning
The day started with my phone blasting annoying bell sounds and as I turned over the sun ended up shining right in my face through the thin curtains. I can't stand sun in my room. All it does is annoy me and wake me up from wonderful dreams that should only end when there is actually and end to them. As I got up I grabbed my running shorts and put on my shoes- it was time to work out. These abs can't keep up with themselves, I have to work to keep them going. Once I stepped out of the apartment building, right away I noticed the nagging smell. It wasn't a strong smell really, just annoying because it was always there. When I got home after working out, my parents had continued to relentlessly call me to badger me about deciding on a direction for my life. How am I supposed to know what I want to become? Sure I'm 23 but throughout my career as student, no class has ever caught my interest. Therefore, why end the relaxing, go with the flow life? I'm happy just going through college figuring out classes at the same time as living up the weekends because I don't actually care about any of the classes. I figure my calling will come to me. It will smack me in the face and I won't be able to turn away from it, so I just have to wait for it. My parents will just have to wait with me. The rest of the day went the same as the beginning. I didn't have class. I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring but I'm ready to start a new day, today did not go over as well as it could have.

" It will smack me in the face and I won't be able to turn away from it, so I just have to wait for it. My parents will just have to wait with me." -I like this line. It's interesting and and has good visuals. Your character's personality is kind of aggravating because he's so cocky...so, good job if that's the direction you meant to move it.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be kind of interesting, I think, if there was some kind of conflict with him and his parents. Like if he dropped out of college because he didn't care enough about his classes and they got mad and disowned him OR if he woke up the next day to find his parents in his room, having flown out to stage an intervention.
Your ideas jump around a little.
ReplyDeleteFor example "I'm happy just going through college figuring out classes at the same time as living up the weekends because I don't actually care about any of the classes."
Also, the ending seems slightly rushed, you could try explaining how you feel about things to help you describe them more.
