1981

The day is November 23rd, 1981 and I would be living in Pennsylvania. It's a few days before Thanksgiving and I'm getting ready to finished out the week at school. I would wake up at 8 am so I can take a shower and get my hair done. All I would have to do to do my hair is blow dry it until it's big and fluffy enough. I would then put a hair band in my hair and tie it back into a side pony tail. Next I would put on a ripped up band t-shirt and ripped jeans. Next on my list would be to put on my make-up. Most girls back then would put all these bright colors on but I would be more of a grunge and punk look. So I would put on some heavy eyeliner. For my shoe choice I would have to either pick from converse or some slip on vans. However, most of the time I would just pick my converse. Before heading out the door for my classes I would grab my leather jacket. I would either take the bus, train, subway, or even walk to class. I would depend on how I was feeling, how much money I had, and the weather. When I finally get to class, I would be just getting to my English 101 class. There are a lot of students in the classroom and everyone is either listening to their Walkmans (like me) or talking to their friends before class starts. I would go the whole class period trying not to fall asleep during the boring lecture the teacher would be giving us. As English 101 finishes I would be getting ready for my next class which would be College Algebra. In  my Algebra class I would end up sitting in the back of my classroom which is also a large lecture class. I would bring out my Walkman and listen to Pink Floyd, Queen, Billy Joel, Elton John, Captain & Tennille or the Beatles. When class was over I would go to the school cafeteria and eat some lunch while studying for Algebra and Biology. After I finish all of my studying I head toward the library to get started on my research paper for my English class. I would type up my paper on the Commodore VIC-20 that were available in the library. After my day of school was over I would head back to my apartment and jam out to some music while doing some math homework. Sometimes I would ignore my homework and call up some friends with land line telephone which was not wireless. After I hang out with a couple friends and I've finished all of my homework I would flip on the television that would only have 30 channels. If I couldn't find anything on the television I would plug in my Atari or I would play some Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or even some Space Invaders. After playing about an hour of video games I would make some dinner. I would either have some Lean Cuisine or I would make a burger or even a sandwich. I would be drinking either Coke or Capri Sun. For my snacks I would have some fruit or some chips, like Doritos. I might also have some chocolate like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. By the end of my day, I would wash off all the eyeliner off my face, brush out my hair, brush my teethe, and change into a baggy t-shirt to sleep in. I would keep my music on low and fall asleep with it on. As I drift off into sleep I begin to get ready for my next day at school.
