Teenage years
Adolfo
I’ve never looked at a pair of boxer briefs the same since 2014. It’s just one of the many reasons my friends expect things to go left when we all get together. My two best friends and I were moving to our college campuses in the upcoming fall and we decided to take a road trip that summer before our new lives began. What better way to spend it by going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas? We were so excited to take our first (and last) solo trip before adulthood. The drive was mostly nothing out of the ordinary; a couple of hours from Houston to San Antonio.

Where's Your Sweater?
Don't ever let me get bored. My creative (insane?) brain absolutely hates being bored, and will invent things just to stay active. Normally, I can channel these impulses into research for a jewelry or craft project, but when I'm trapped....

Night of the Heathens
It was our senior year of high school with only a month to go before graduation. One of my closest friends at the time was a girl named Kay. We'd known each other since the fourth grade and had been friends ever since. We bonded over a similar wacky sense of humor, Super Mario games on SNES, and What Lies Beneath with Michelle Pfeiffer.

America's Worst Nightmare
Would like to take you on a journey through a pivotal part of my life, to a time when doing dirt was mandatory in order to earn your stripes. All while accepting there is a great chance that your freedom won't last, days from long ago yet not forgotten from the distant past. When a Judge felt it necessary to explain his thoughts to make it crystal clear, if I stay this course I'm on by 18 I will be incarcerated serving years. That is IF and ONLY IF not already gone, dead, and buried 6 feet down, and to add insult to injury, he did this in front of a jam packed court house. Barely a teenager, just 13 at this junction when he decided to let it go and unload, his thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with his this is your life choices speech, a dog and pony show. Yet on deaf ears his sermon fell harmlessly without hearing a single syllable that exited his mouth, as stubborn and unreachable I was plus his preaching made me completely tune him out. Had no interest in listening to any of it let alone walk anyone's fine line, my priorities were set for me on that money making hustle of a grind. While putting on for my set I represent by flagging and stacking gang signs, willing to do whatever needed to ensure survival consuming the majority of my mind.

The Reason I Left My Bra On. Second Place in Inside Jokes Challenge.
While I am sure many people have their own college dorm stories, this story generally harbors a significant laugh from my audience. After the laughs, comments like "you didn't!" or "were you drunk?" follow. Maybe I should be embarrassed, but instead I'm quite proud of myself for it. No, I wasn't drunk. I was completely sober. It came from my very own impulsive mind, and watching the incident in real time caused my roommates to bust out of their chairs in giggles.

What Now?
When, I think about what I want to be in life, I had a list of careers in my head and as each year went by, the list got shorter and shorter. I am a very creative person so I fell in love with the arts, fashion, and music. You'd think that having a list of careers and jobs that I liked would help a lot with my future well, I think not. I am currently in college and I'm majoring in Business Administration and hopefully minor in entrepreneurship, fashion design, or fashion merchandising. Once I graduate, I already know I'm going to be like: What now?

Totaling My Parents Dodge Caravan Off-Roading
I'd try a few times before giving up a fight. It was shortly before Winter of Grade 11 and I asked my mother one last time if she'd buy me smokes. The age to buy smokes used to be quite low, and having to get smokes through other means often meant talking to less-than favourable people. Although she smoked in high school, she insisted I'd have to supply my own habits.

S'cool Days
There is an “Inside Joke” challenge on Vocal, the premise of which is “Share a funny, true story about you and one of your childhood friends.” The problem with this challenge is that very often funny stories are over very quickly when they are committed to paper.
