SATURDAY !

So it's saturday! My birthday's coming up so my roomies made me birthday cookies today, I love them! I'll finally be 18, thank god. My friends make so much fun of me for being young, no longer can anyone call me jailbait or any other, you're not 18 kind of name. Today was a pretty chill day, I tried to get up early so I could do some studying and homework. I definitely need to be up early tomorrow too so I can study! So, it's time to go out, and I don't know what to write about, so i'll share some more of my commonplace paper! So here's the actual intro to my paper, the one thats supposed to hook you and catch your attention. Do you guys think it works? It's one of those intro's where you set up hypothetical situations. I did these a lot for papers in high school.

            Mom stops by at home and shoves a granola bar down her throat as she leaves to her second job: the night shift at the clothing factory downtown. Max, her eldest son, feeds an off-brand baby food to his younger brother Tyler. As he spoons food into Tyler’s mouth, he  attempts to catch up on three chapters of History reading.
At the same time, Max’s friend Liz is living in a similar situation. Liz’s mom’s flight from Boston is landing in about two hours, and her father has, once again, been paged to the ER. Liz is at home, with her two year old brother and their Nanny. After having grown up with a busy mother and a father finishing his residency, she feels obliged to pay attention to her younger brother. She wants to give him the love and attention she never received.
