Thanksgiving Narrative Essay

November 16, 2019

Memory is such a strange thing when you try to forget a thing in your life, you can’t. But also the moment you try to remember a small thing, you can’t. Well, that is something that I find myself relating to more often in the past year. Oh, and before I forget, let’s start with the formal introduction. Noting that you can’t tell me about yourself, but I can tell u about me. Okay so my name is Pari, well my full name is Pari K. Shah, I have lived 15 years of my life in New York, and doing the math, I have only been in Delaware for one year, four months, and 17 days, not that I have been counting. I love to bake and read, but I’m good at math. I’m a huge fan of fiction books, but they have to be good, when I read a book I need to be lost in it. Moving on, I have an older sister, currently attending UD (2nd year), and a younger brother, attending Cedar Lane Elementary School (2nd grade), and I have amazing parents. So going back to the beginning, I had been told that we have people coming over to our house, like every other week, and like always my room typically becomes the guest room. It’s not the most pleasant feeling to know that guests are coming over on the same day that they are coming if that makes any sense. Well, the most awkward moment was when they rang the bell and I got up to open the door. Yeah, when my Mom said family, she probably meant strangers, well to me of course. So, I open the door and the first thing that comes to my mouth is “Who are you? How can I help you?” Yeah, talk about embarrassing, I’m standing at my door not inviting them in just staring and waiting for a response when my Mom comes along. What felt like hours was just 30 seconds. So I eventually learned that I had probably met them when I was young, and by young, I probably mean 5 or 6 years old. That is where the whole memory concept comes into play, I just couldn’t recognize them at all. Back to me, no I’m not self-obsessed, but if you are to be my confidant, you should know about me. I love to travel, especially road trips, but I have yet to be on a plane. The farthest that we have gone by car in the US is Chicago, Illinois, and that too only twice once for my uncle’s engagement and once to just visit family. However, the most interesting trip was the one to Canada. My trips to Canada are my favorite especially during the winter because of the snow that they get there, but New York Christmas is heaven, especially with roller skating and Rockefeller Center. Back to today after they arrived, which was around 10:00 a.m., what we did was shopping, shopping, and SHOPPING. I mean I get that Delaware is cheaper than New York, but how much do people need to get? So we go to Christina Mall and that mall is pretty big, and we don’t get home till 4, so much for being young when my feet begin to hurt. Cause 6 hours of shopping is not easy. So back at home, I had made homemade Pizza and Cheese sticks, not being biased, but they were REALLY good, and everyone complimented me. So After dinner, we went to Walmart, Marshalls, and Kohl’s for more shopping. When we all finally got home at 11 at night, they wanted to play UNO, and at that point, I began to wonder how they had more energy than me when I was younger than them, definitely not judging anyone. So yeah this is me writing at 1:43 a.m. about today. I have had enough of today and am about to fall asleep so, Good Night, Sweet Dreams, and Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite.

Today out of all days I don’t know why but I felt homesick. I mean I was home but I missed New York. Delaware isn’t bad, not at all, it's peaceful, it’s quiet, it's… nice.? But I’ve grown up in a place that’s opposite and for some reason, I missed that place today. But life or maybe my parents, or both I guess has taught me that no matter how fast you run in life or how hard you try, you always miss out on something so it's important to enjoy the moment while it lasts. That’s what I’ve lived by my whole life, well ever since I learned this. That doesn’t mean I don’t have regrets, I mean who doesn’t, but every morning I choose to leave those regrets behind and move on and enjoy whatever adventure awaits. My adventures are not fairytale-like, But I do consider going to school an adventure, learning new things, and “battling” difficulties whether it’s in math, English, social studies, or science. Anyway, today was quite eventful with still having family over, but honestly, today was a lot more fun. We stayed home and played games, and it was amazing, it was family time. And I was relieved that I had finished my homework, oh yeah… that brings up the point that I hate procrastination. My parents have drilled into me since I started getting homework never to procrastinate. I will stay up late on Friday night and finish all my homework rather than drag it into the weekend, I call it a bad habit, but it may be good. Okay, so I am really happy that Thanksgiving break is in seven days, and that means that Christmas is coming. I love Christmas and more than that I love the snow, everything looks so pure and...white, which is awkward cause snow is white, okay never mind. My friend called me today, she lives in New York and we’ve been friends for as long as I can remember. I love talking to her, I just feel like I can talk to her and share anything with her, without her judging me. She cried so much when she found out I was moving and she organized a whole Goodbye party for me. Granted I did feel like I was third-wheeling when she invited me to go shopping with her and her boyfriend before I came to Delaware. She gave the best news today that she might be coming to celebrate Christmas with me, and talking about Christmas, New York Christmas is pretty awesome, so her coming to Delaware to visit during that time is amazing. Anyway, you’ve heard enough for today. Good Night, Sweet Dreams, and Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite.

My choices are like my fingerprints, they make me unique and I prefer it that way. And speaking of my choices, there was a time when I was lost, I didn’t know where I was going and I learned that the only reason I was lost, was because I was living in the future. I learned to live for today, and live it fully and let tomorrow decide for itself. Well, today was a Monday, and Mondays suck, not that I have anything against Mondays, but it just reminds me of the 4 other long days of school left. Today was rather uneventful might I say, typical schoolwork, crowded hallways, and 90-minute long periods. I dislike these 90-minute periods, back in New York we had 45-minute periods, granted that we had 8 periods, but they were a lot shorter and I guess they held the attention of the students. But I hated regents back in New York, they were like AP tests that the state gave out but for all Honors classes that were taken. This was one thing that I liked in Delaware, the lack of regents. Well today was an A day and I had a test in AP Stats, but what I hate most about A days is that I have to carry two textbooks. Besides that, the guests just left and are supposed to be back next week, Wednesday. Not complaining, I love my family and when guests are over, there is joy and happiness and I guess holiday spirit. So as always, I came home and finished my homework, and in our house every night from 6 to 9 we sat together as a family and watched T.V. I’ve always been a family person no matter how old I grow I cherish those moments when we are together and not being filmy or anything, but those moments are magic for me and I live for those moments. I don’t hold anything against people who have been exactly nice to me, Life is too short for me to hold grudges against people so I live by the rule forgive quickly, and Love truly. Thinking about this I can probably write a whole book on the rules that I live my life by, not bragging or anything. My parents have put a lot of effort into raising me and my siblings, they have lived their lives for us, and one day I will give it back to them. Time doesn’t stop for anyone, time is the one that passes but we are used. Anyway, it’s almost 6, meaning almost family time and I wouldn’t want to miss it for anything. Good Night, Sweet Dreams, and Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite.

Okay, So today I started reading this new book, well it’s part of a trilogy, but the point is that I find it awesome. It's called The Elysium Chronicles and the first book is Renedage It's by J. A. Souders. It’s a dystopian novel and it’s amazing, yeah I love to read especially fiction novels, I probably already told you that but whatever, I’m just excited. Don’t worry I won’t tell you the whole story, it is an adventure in itself to read a book for yourself. Yeah, I do know that you aren’t going to read it, cause if you do that would be pretty awkward. I mean a Diary reading another book, yeah I would freak out. So today I have been in a really good mood, I was talking to my cousins - when I told them that I have 5 APs on my schedule, back during the beginning of the school year they doubted me, and I kind of doubted myself, but I was not going to admit that -- today when I talked to them, I realized that it wasn’t a wrong decision, I have been managing myself pretty well, and I enjoyed telling them that, yeah it's a hidden competition between us. I kind of enjoy it but nicely, but it gives me a push a motivation to not give up, but the greatest motivation is my parents, I’ve looked up to them for as long as I can remember. Anyways back to reading and books, back in New York, the public libraries were awesome, they had so many books -- well that’s obvious, it is a library-- but it was also my magical land, in a way. But that’s beside the point, I kind of think that the library here is a little small, and there are books, but just not my type. But I finally found one and after I do finish this trilogy, I'll begin my search for another good book. And books have taught me that no matter what happens in life… somewhere, somehow, there is always a reason behind living. Well, it is finally a Tuesday, which is better than a Monday at least five more days till Thanksgiving break. I do find it kind of weird and unfair that the elementary and middle school students have the whole week off meaning they only have 3 more days of school. But life sucks at times and at other times, well it doesn’t suck. I hope that I don’t get too much homework and I can bask in the glory of the holiday spirit. I just can’t wait for it to snow, I can’t explain how much I love the snow. Summer is nice and although I was born in June, I prefer the winter way much more, I mean who doesn’t? Avoiding the cold by wrapping yourself in the warmest blanket, sitting by the fireplace, drinking hot cocoa… and much more. Well, it's time to say Good Night, Sweet Dreams, and Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite.

In life, whatever happens, it is never thought of ... and whatever is thought of it never happens ... and whatever never happens, sometimes it does happen. Okay, okay, that might not make sense but I can relate to what I just wrote, which means that my life doesn’t make sense. So today was pretty busy so here I am at 7, well to be precise 7:17 p.m., writing about today. Yeah, I know it's family time, but this is also important, well I guess it is. Yes, today was Wednesday and my countdown continues, well I’m only counting down to Thanksgiving break, but some people are counting down to Christmas break. Yeah, that one is a long time away. Back today, I got bored in my room, yeah it’s normal, happens every few weeks. So I changed up my room decor, it has more of a winter vibe now and I painted my nails in the Thanksgiving spirit. And my Mom just told me that Friday, yes two days from now, we’re having a Friendsgiving. Well no it’s not my friends but rather my younger brother’s friends whose parents became good friends with my parents. Yeah, it’s complicated, but the more stressful part is deciding the menu. And deciding the menu is pretty tough when you’re a vegan/ vegetarian. We aren’t vegan cause we do eat and drink milk products, but we aren’t vegetarian either cause we don’t eat fish. I told her it was complicated. Well, then I found out that I didn’t have to plan the main course because they wanted to eat my homemade pizza, it’s pretty famous throughout my family. But dessert still had to be planned and so had the appetizers. See this is what travels through my head all day. Pretty random but that is my life. So besides all that along with reading, I was watching Once Upon a Time and I find it pretty weird that all the fairy tales I’ve known have been connected and intertwined in such a way. Who would have guessed that Rumplestiltskin is present in all the fairy tales and that his father is Peter Pan and Peter Pan is the Pied Piper? Weird isn’t it? Okay maybe I am a nerd, but I can be cool sometimes too. And AP Physics wore me out today, that class takes so much brainpower, I swear at times I feel as if I can’t think after that class, luckily I hahadt last period, and it doesn’t take so much brainpower to get on a bus and get home. And today I found out that apparently, I am famous at my old school back in New York and that my certificate, with my name, is still up on their bulletin board. I forgot to tell you what the certificate was for, the certificate was from a poetry contest that I won back in New York. Well, that is another fact about me, I love to write poetry. And before I say Good night today, every day brings new hope, a new ray of light so never give up. I once heard that a person can live up to 4 weeks without food, 4 days without water, and maybe 4 minutes without air, but a person can't even live for 4 seconds without hope. That makes hope priceless and valuable. Add that to my rule book that I live my life by. Anyway Good Night, Sweet Dreams, and Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite.
