When I was on the outside my days used to be the opposite of interesting. Most of the time I used to repeat the same routine over and over again. There were some parts that I liked about it and certain parts that I didn’t. But first, I’m going to tell you the things that I used to do when I was on the outside.
First wake up, go straight to the bathroom, get ready for school, do school online, go to the 7-Eleven for a coffee and if I had more money then get something to eat or some other snacks. Then I would get out of 7-Eleven, get on my bike, put some music on my phone and go to the skatepark to drink my coffee. All of this during lunch, from twelve-thirty to five after twelve. Sometimes I used to leave my home at twelve because I had learning center for seventh period, which is a class for homework and I only had to be on it for the first twenty minutes and leave. If I had no homework, I could just draw or do other things. Normally I used to just leave.
After school, I used to do two different things. If my mom wanted me to stay at home, then I would just stay at home and play games or watch anime or a movie. Second, if my mom didn’t tell me anything about staying home then I would get dressed, grab my paint, my headphones and my skateboard, jump on my bike, put on some music then ride to 7-Eleven to get a snack or something to drink.
Then I would go to the skate park to have a good time, skate, talk to my friends or maybe just sit down and relax for five hours. When it was dark outside, I would head out to my home. If my mom cooked something, then I would eat it. If not, then I would just get whatever was in the fridge. While catting I would be watching videos on YouTube or anime or whatever movie was on trend.
After eating, I would shower. After a shower I would normally play games, watch a movie or watch anime, but most of the time I was just hearing music and playing video games until the very early morning hours. Then I would go to sleep.
Now the things that I liked about my day. I like being able to wake up because sometimes I used to be really tired and all I wanted was to sleep. Another thing I liked about my day was when I used to go to 7-Eleven to get my coffee. The other ones were to go to the skate park, playing games, watching anime, watching movies, watching YouTube videos and eating. My favorite thing is to be outside.
