Joining the Team

As you walk across your college campus, you can't help but feel nervous about this upcoming school year. It's your first year of college, and you don’t really know anyone yet. You had been pretty comfortable all throughout high school since you had a solid group of friends, but unfortunately you all ended up going to different schools. Your parents left yesterday, and now you’re all alone to figure this out by yourself. Your parents had suggested that you try and join a club or a sports team, as that's often the best way to make new friends in college. So you now find yourself walking to the student center for the activities fair. When you enter the ballroom you’re shocked to see how many booths there are to choose from. Nervously you shuffle around the room, looking to find a club that seems right for you. Unbeknownst to you, two girls at a booth in the corner have been watching you all along. “He seems like a perfect choice.” One girl says. “Ooh I think he’ll turn out gre...

Movie Night

You’ve been looking forward to this night for a few weeks now. Both you and your wife have been super busy, barely able to spend any quality time with each other. Tonight is the first night in a while that both of you are free, meaning only one thing. Date night! One of the things that the two of you bond over is your love of movies. There haven’t really been too many good movies out recently, so it's been hard to justify a trip to the theater regardless of how busy you two have been. Tonight is different though, finally a movie that seems worth watching is out in theaters so you made plans for your date night to be dinner and a movie. Dinner was wonderful. Spending time with the love of your life is always a pleasure, but tonight feels even more special. It's like you’re catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while. Dinner lasts probably a bit longer than it should, considering you have a movie to see. You do your best to politely rush the waiter so you c...

Phone Dependent

Another rough day at work. You’ve just been so busy with everyone piling work onto you that you have almost no free time during the day. In order to keep some semblance of sanity, you head to the bathroom for one of the few short breaks you’ll have today. As you made your way slowly to the bathroom, you passed by Jenny, your 20 year old coworker. She never really seemed to be doing anything, and at her age it was a miracle that she even got the internship at this company! You knew it was only because her father was the boss, otherwise she probably wouldn’t have even got an interview. She walked past you with her face buried in her phone, no doubt texting her friends and updating her social media. It was the newest model of iPhone, and she had a bright pink case that could be seen for miles. As she passed you, she nearly tripped and fell on a rogue chair someone left sitting out. You chuckled softly at her misfortune. As soon as she regained composure she looked right at you. “Somethin...

The Most Magical Place on Earth

Finally a vacation. Work had been piling up recently, but you had luckily scheduled this vacation far in advance so nothing could get in the way of it. Your boss gave you the go-ahead and you left the next day. Your wife had planned the trip for you since you were so busy, and the two of you decided to go visit Los Angeles. Your wife, without telling you, had bought you both day passes to DisneyLand, reserving a whole day of your vacation for the park. You weren’t nearly as excited as she was, but who could complain about a trip to Disney? The day of Disney had arrived and the two of you arrived at the park. It was busy enough, but luckily it seemed like none of the lines were unbearably long. In any case, one of the first things the two of you did was visit one of the shops. Your wife was set on getting a pair of Minnie Mouse ears to wear and you were happy to oblige. You always thought they were pretty cute and you were excited to see your wife in them. The store was packed so yo...

New Glasses

You were a little upset after your last visit to the doctor. They had performed a vision test on you and you did quite poorly. They recommended you get glasses immediately. Today was the day you were going to pick them out. You got in your car and drove yourself to the store, dreading the task. As soon as you arrived you gave the store employee the piece of paper with your prescription on it and he too you around the room showing all of the different styles. None of them really jumped out to you unfortunately, and you wanted to make sure you got ones you’d be happy with since you’d be wearing them all the time. Suddenly a pair caught your eye. They were behind the counter on a tray, but as soon as you laid eyes on them you knew they were the ones for you. You told the employee and he smiled. “These frames are very special, they’ll change your life, guaranteed.” He said as you paid for them. He told you to come back in a few hours to pick them up with your lenses in them. A little w...
