Personal Narrative: The Seattle Freeze

Unfortunately, with the increase in both options and popularity of online dating and its use, there has also been an increase in mistreatment of online dating and its users. There is no denying that online dating has the potential to really help people connect, reconnect, and make connections with individuals both locally and afar. However, like most things in life, there will be some people that will use things as intended, while other will abuse it. In general, persons that use online approaches to dating and relationships do so with good and honest

After a careful overview of the story, the readers understands that the author point is that in some situations, people should do the nice thing and sacrifice themselves to help others. In the story, “What Happened During the Ice storm” the author uses a mysterious, bittersweet tone, “They stood over the pheasants, turning their own heads, looking at each other each expecting the other to do something” (Heynen 1). The author uses this line to show that any other person would not even stop to think; that any other person would immediately attack. However, putting these lines in the story makes the reader notice how the boys took the time to stop and think

But why do so many online relationships fail? In theory, a first date should be stressful and awkward no matter where two people met, whether on the subway or online. Some argue that while two people may have similar answers to an online survey, face-to-face compatibility is no guarantee. Once the initial excitement of liking someone new fades, there must be something else to build a relationship upon. While one-night stands with strangers may satisfy, it is no way to live in a world based on relationships.

If I was trapped in a snow globe I would play in the snow. I would try to make the best of it. Then, I would try to figure out how to get out. I would bang on the glass. Maybe if I scream the glass would break. No, that wouldn't work I can't scream loud enough. But, if I dig alot I might find a way. Seven hours later……. There is no use. I’m kinda getting hungry and I don't see any food. As I’m trying to get out I see this huge person picks up the globe and starts shaking. I hold onto the tree for dear life while he is shaking the globe. Finally he puts it down. That's the story of when I got stuck in a snow

On a Tuesday night of my sophomore year, two weeks before the state tournament, we played Heritage Hills. On the mound, battling for every out, I attempted to keep the game tied. The count was two and one with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. I stepped up, wound up, and pitched the ball for the fiftieth time. Except this time the ball came flying right back towards me.

Every year, a certain event takes place that is just as important to my family and I as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July. However, most of America doesn’t even know this event exists. A five day festival held the first week in August in a small town along the North Shore. In 2015, this little town in the upper northeast region of Minnesota was named “America’s Coolest Small Town,” by Budget Travel. This small town is known as Grand Marais and is home to around 1,341 people. In the 1930s, Grand Marais was a small village with a primary focus on logging and commercial fishing. Many of the community members in this small village decided to gather together for a shoreline picnic as a way to get to know one another and have a good time. This shoreline picnic is now called Fisherman’s Picnic, and has been a tradition carried on for 86 years. The Grand Marais Lions and Lioness Clubs along with many other community organizations work for months preparing for the 10,000 to 15,000 people in attendance each year. Tourist around the country come to partake in this small community gathering that offers a variety of unique events and great food.

It was an a normal hot day in California, the sun was shinning warm, and bright, the kids in my school were all having fun playing basketball, going in and out of the lunchroom, or sitting in groups chatting out on the field. I was seated at a table outside, which was right next to a square wall which on the inside contained dumpsters and other things like that. The chairs that were outside had a metal “thing” to cover it. It was basically just a metal pallet held up by small square pillars on each end. My friends and I were seated by the wall which was at the northeast most part of The Shade. (This is what we called the area with big metal pallet because besides inside the cafeteria it was the only place where we could get shade in the desert heat, because the couple of trees out on the field provided little to none whatsoever.)

Traveling up to a family college almost every weekend seems like a dream to anyone well to my uncle that is like his Job. My father is the second of five kids four boys and one girl all of whom I love but if there is one who I enjoy the most and spend the most time with it would be my uncle John. John is the eldest of the kids two years old than my father. I grew up in city outside Milwaukee while the rest of my father's side were all in Green Bay so trips to go visit aren't often which might be why it always seems like there is some sort of party when we go up. However at these full family parties there is always some person missing uncle John, a majority of the time when my family made the trip up to Green Bay, Uncle John would head up

Of course this doesn’t apply if you are in Las Vegas but mostly for northern cities. When walking in the snow during the winter, make sure to wrap plastic grocery bags around your socks so they don’t get wet or of course you could wear boots. Wet socks can ultimately lead to pneumonia or foot fungus that will have you walking in pain with a limp if left untreated. Some homeless people can’t afford boots, so try to get free ones from the Salvation Army as they sometimes give out free winter clothes.

I am in front of Hudson Hall on this cold day. There are a lot of people going in and out of Hudson. Maybe because the time that I was here was probably a time where people got out of class and going back to their dorms. I felt that I already accomplished that because I went to class already and finished with all of my classes, even though I only had one class to go to. It was very cold and snowing a little bit. I feel the snow a little bit on my face because of the wind passing through under Hudson. I wonder if it is going to get colder and wonder if I will have to get a better jacket for the conditions. I see one of the RAs and he is rushing to go somewhere. I see my friend from class and talk with him for a little bit. I ask where he is

The Winter Classic is a once every year event that takes place every New Year’s Day. It is a special game that thee National Hockey League puts on where two teams get to play a game outside instead of the usual indoor game. The 2011 Winter Classic happened to be taking place right here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I as the hockey fan I am naturally wanted to go to it. I had brought up the idea of going as merely a suggestion a “Hey wouldn’t this be cool” type of thing. I was not thinking that anything would come of it just expecting it to forgotten about. Then we flash forward to Christmas morning of that year I am just about done taking in all of my presents and my mom said I have one more present left. I sat there wondering to myself what

The warning sirens for the unexpected avalanche sounded. Nine out of ten of the women on the snowmobile vacation in Yellowstone National Park were ready to get to safety, away from the snow slide threat. It was a difficult decision for Corrine Meyer to make, but she had to face her deadly fear of heights to get to safety.

Online dating is a relatively new phenomenon. It arose during the late 1990s, at the same time that the Internet itself was becoming increasingly popular. Despite being a relatively young industry, online dating has already become one of the most profitable types of business to be found on the Internet. Online dating services currently attract millions of users every day, and the industry as a whole is making hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Online dating provides an efficient way for people to meet prospective partners and to get to know them through e-mails and chats. There are various positive aspects to be found in the experience of online dating, as compared to the traditional methods of

In these days of quick fixes, some individuals expect to sign up using a matchmaking site today and find anyone of their dreams tomorrow. This is possible, but unlikely. Patience is often a
