To be admitted to the college I'm applying to you must enter a creative writing piece!. It can be new or old, no matter the prompt, just so long as it's a creative writing piece, like a play, scene, story, or essay!. Here is mine, it's an essay about the things people do in public that should be done in private!.!.!.
I wish people realized that they are always being watched, not in the creepy “big brother is watching you” type of way, but in the way that people see the odd, gross things you do in public!. They don’t realize that people are always watching!. Imagine, you’re stopped at a red light, and you just happen to glance in your rear view mirror because you’re a good driver and that’s what good drivers do, check their mirrors!. A red Toyota Camry is behind you, judging from the shape of it, you’d say a 2008, and you notice this because you have the same one!. You take a mental note that Toyota’s seem to be popular cars and look back at the road in front of you to see if the lights turned green!. Your eyes immediately shoot back to the rear view mirror and you see the driver of that same 2008 Toyota Camry is picking their nose!. Not simply scratching it, but digging and scrapping for gold!. Just before you think they must have the largest nostril in the history of the human race, you’re getting honked at by the same 2008 Toyota Camry because the light has been green for over three seconds and the nose picker has places to be!.
It’s amazing how private people think public areas are!. My personal favorite is when I see the “smell check!.” They try and disguise it but you see it every where!. Somewhere, someone notices an onion smell!. Realizing they are no where near a grocery store, where the smell could have originated, they immediately mentally go through their morning ritual, trying to remember if they applied deodorant on this mourning!. They think they did, but it easily could have been forgotten between brushing their teeth and straightening their hair!. Not patient enough to go to a restroom to smell themselves!. They casually or as casually as it can be done, raise their arm for a “stretch” and when the arm is fully extended, wave their nose by the arm pit to get a good smell!. A smile is code for, “Oh, good, I did remember” and slowly followed by a glance around the room to see who the next perpetrator might be!. If followed by a disgruntled look, beware, they forgot there deodorant this mourning and now, everyone knows!.
You see it done by everyone, the car nose picker, the smell checker, or numerous other private things done in public!. I’ve seen people adjust themselves, pull wedgies, even stick their hands down their pants, for reasons unbeknownst to me!. I think to my self, “Do they not know they everyone is watching them out of the corner of their eye!? Everyone is judging him for what he just did in front of the entire check out line,” as I pick my nose with my left hand and pick a wedgie with my right, soon to extend it into the dreaded “smell check” because I can’t remember if I put on my deodorant this mourning!.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, I'm open to them all!. Thanks!
