My perfect day would be waking up on Cocoa beach and seeing the sunrise and the waves crashing. Going to breakfast and eating ten of my grandma’s ham and cheese omelettes with chocolate milk. Then the rest of the morning I’d go deep sea fishing for sharks and other massive sea creatures. I’d then go get some Pancheros Mexican Grill with my friends for lunch. After lunch I would head over to Miami to watch the Cubs play the Marlins. After the game I would then head over to the Miami Dolphins stadium and watch the Steelers get a win as well. At halftime I would go to the Pancheros stand in the stadium and have another burrito for supper. After the game I would return back to Cocoa Beach and go to sleep after a long, perfect day.
ReplyDeleteA perfect day to me would be waking up at 10, getting ready, eating breakfast, going to work for a bit, after work going shopping, hangout with friends, and for the rest of the chill at home and spend time with my brother.

My ideal day if I had one, would be a simple one. I would wake up around 9-9:30 have some cereal. After breakfast I would work out at the school around 11 and leave at 12- 12:30, I might do some running wile I’m there. Then I would go home and relax until 4. At 4 I would go to work and be there until closing. After finally closing the store I would go home and relax again, just laying down on my bed with my cat playing on my phone. My ideal day sounds like any other day but that’s how it should be. I won’t live in the past or the future, I will dream for the future, learn from the past, but live in the present.

ReplyDeleteIf I had the chance to have a perfect day I would first sleep in which is usually only till 8. I would then get with close family and friends and go to a beach and just relax and get away from the world for a little bit. I would then go take a nap in the afternoon. I would have fish for lunch along with buttered noodles. After my nap I would get up meet back up with family. I would then go wolf hunting because I have always wanted to so I would take about 4 hours of the night to hunt and then go to bed and call it a great day.

My perfect day would start with me waking up from my bed getting dressed and watching TV in the morning. Schools been canceled because of the amount of snow and I stay home and play video games. I get to spend all day with my dogs and do nothing. For lunch I have a Jack’s pizza because it’s the best frozen pizza, and for Supper I have tacos because it’s Tuesday. After supper with my parents, I hope on the PS4 and play video games with the boys. Then at around 11 o’clock I head to bed because a two-hour delay as already been called. I lay on my bed for awhile listening to music and going on different apps. Then when I can’t keep my eyes open anymore, I put my phone down and go to bed.

My perfect day would be waking up in Montana walking out on the porch with my cup of coffee and seeing the horses on the big ranch i'm staying at. Get dressed and saddle up the horses and ride all day long then coming home for supper and then going by a campfire. Once i'm ready for bed i go in the house and go to bed.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect day would me being on vacation in Dallas, Texas. I would wake up in a lake house and have one of my dad's omelettes. After that, I would go out to the lake in the back and go fishing for a while and maybe go swimming or ride a jet-ski in the lake. We would then go to AT&T Stadium to watch the Cowboys beat the Eagles. We would stop to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings on the way back from the game. Once we got back to the lake house, I would go out and ride the 4-wheeler back in the woods for a while. Once it got dark I would head back to the house and play some Fortnite or 2K. I would then go to bed and sleep after the perfect day.
ReplyDeleteI wake up at eight-thirty, still early in the morning but late enough for me to sleep in. I’d have a decent, but simple, breakfast like pancakes or eggs. Then, I’d spend the rest of my morning looking over my notes and see if there was anything I had to get caught up on. After, I’d go into Cascade and hang out at my brother’s house. We’d have lunch, like we do on the weekends, and relax for a few hours. For supper, I’d probably go out to eat somewhere like Red Robin. At night, I’d meet up with my family and we’d sit around hanging out We’d probably play some sort of card game until it got too late to be up. Finally, I’d head to bed for the rest of the night.
ReplyDeleteMy ideal day is just an average day where I can relax. I’m not required to do anything like school or work. I’m able to sit around with people I like and do as I please.

The perfect day for me would start off with getting ready for the day. I’d freshen up and do my hair before heading to the high school to lift. My main focus would be pushing movements, because they are usually very enjoyable. I would mainly focus on a flat bench press with a lot of working sets, and weighted dips. After lifting for about two hours, I would stretch my lower extremity. After stretching I would go straight to the soccer field and shoot for at least an hour. Then I would go home for a bit to take a cold shower and eat something. For the rest of the day I would hang out with friends.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect day for me right now would start like this. I would wake up and get ready for the day, then I would go eat breakfast and be on with my day. I would go and work for part of the day because I must leave early. I have to leave early because I am on my way to Chicago to watch the bulls in game 7 of the NBA finals. I have court side seats, so I have the best view in the house. To end my perfect day, the Bulls win game 7 and bring home the 7th championship and I will be going to the parade as well to celebrate. That is what a perfect day would look like for me. Luke M
ReplyDeleteThe perfect day for me, i would start by taking a shower and at some breakfast and brush my teeth and get ready for my day. Go out with my friends play some ball or do something like go party or etc. come back to my house and take a shower and put some shorts on order some food and watch some Netflix and go to sleep and yeah. Goodnigth.
ReplyDeleteMy ideal day would be waking up in a soft bed with breakfast waiting for me. Eggs, pancakes, sausage. I'd spend the day with friends watching a movie or two, and then, with the weather being a breezy 70-80 degree day, hit the beach, and spend the day there and have a bonfire on the sand with everybody. Heading home and going to that same soft bed.
ReplyDelete- Joey Shannon
My ideal day would begin at 9:00 A.M. I would shower and make the same breakfast that I eat everyday. Peanut butter oatmeal with a cup of milk as well as a banana. I would then go lift at the high school for about an hour and a half and do chest and shoulders that day. I would have my protein shake and a nice lunch. I would then hang out with my family and check in with my friends to make plans for the night. We might go out to eat or just relax at someones house. After making plans I would act on those plans and have an enjoyable time while hanging out with them. I would then go to bed and wake up to do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect day for me would start like. I wake up early in the morning in a cabin next to a huge lake in Minnesota. I would make myself something to eat and pack some food and drinks for later that day. After I get everything around I would head down to the boat and pack everything I would need for that day. Then I would head to a fishing spot where I know some huge muskies or northern pike are at. I would get the trolling motor ready so I can keep on moving while I cast for them and when I hook one I'll have the net next to me so I can net the fish when it gets close enough. After I been fishing for most of the day I would head back to the cabin and fill the boat up with fuel for the next day and bring all of my fishing gear back to the cabin. then i would clean any fish i decided to keep. After I clean the fish I would make something to eat and then go to bed.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect day would be getting up in the morning and looking at my phone and seeing a text message saying that they need help today combining corn. I would then get up and go take a shower and eat breakfast. I would then grab a mtn dew out of the fridge and pack my lunch for the day. I would then get in my truck head down the road to La motte where their farm is located. We would then discuss the game plan for the day and where we are going to go combine and who’s driving what for the day. I would then hop into the semi or tractor and I would help them all day combine corn. If I was in the tractor, I would then take corn from the combine to the semis on the road and if I was in the semi I would take corn from the tractor and grain cart and I would take it to the grain bins. Then around 7 or 8 o’clock I would want to leave the farm and go home and shower and put good cloths on. I would then go hangout with friends and drive around all night and go to parties.

I would get out of bed around 7, get dressed and brush my teeth. I would make myself some scramble eggs with bacon and toast. Then I would go downstairs and change into my old clothes. Come up to the garage and grab a mtn dew out of the fridge. Walk outside and get in the can am and go look at my cows out in the pasture with their calves. Then come back down to the sheds and clean the windows and grease the tractor so I can do field work. I would start around 9 and I would go all morning and come back in for lunch. Grab another mtn dew and go back out to the field and finish around supper. I would then put a steak on the grill and work in the shop on some small projects while it is cooking. I would go in and eat my steak and watch some movies on Netflix. I would watch two movies and the go to bed around 11. This is what a perfect day for me would look like. Michael Droeszler
ReplyDeleteMy day in paradise is any day on the farm. The farm is paradise to me because I like to farm and that’s how and where I was raised and grew up. The day would start off with waking up in the morning and go outside to do chores such as feeding the cattle and making sure they are doing good and help any that would need help. Then go into the house to eat breakfast. Once done with breakfast, I would then go back outside and work on projects such as doing maintenance on tractors and equipment and working on anything else that would need worked on. Then depending on what time of year it is I would also go out and work in the fields such as tillage of the ground or harvest of the crops. In the winter I would go out and cut firewood up for the wood furnace that would heat my house. Then in the evening I would feed the cattle again and make sure that they are doing good still and help any that need help. After chores I would then go in the house to eat and then go to bed.

ReplyDeleteMy idea of a perfect day is as follows:
I get out of bed around 6 AM and immediately eat breakfast. The best breakfast I would make would be biscuits and gravy. The biscuits and gravy would be washed down with a Mountain Dew. Then I would go outside and ri8de my dirt bike on the back roads of Monticello for about two hours. After riding for the two hours, I would go hang out with my girlfriend in the mall until we went to all the stores we wanted to go to, We would then go to her home and just watch Netflex and chill for the remainder of the day unless she would have to go to work. Around midnight, I would head to the bedroom.
My ideal day would consist of many fun activities. The day would start out to be a little chilly around 60 degrees. By noon the temperature would then be up to 80 degrees and sunny. To start the day, I would go out for breakfast at John’s Café and get the usual as the waitress would say. The three egg over easy, hash browns with cheese and onion, white toast, followed with some bacon. After that my father and I would then head up to Chicago and stop to eat some steak from Texas Roadhouse. Then after that we would head out to go fishing on the Chicago River on our little fishing boat. After a long afternoon of reeling in all kinds of fish from the river. My father and I would then head to Soldier Field to catch the Sunday night football game. The game would be a battle between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. This game would be a close one all the way to the end. The Bears would come out with a field goal to seal the deal as time expires by Eddie Pinero. After watching the outstanding battle between the teams, we would leave the stadium and grab some bar food. After eating a delicious burger and onion rings we headed back to the hotel to pass out for the night.-Colby Holmes

ReplyDeleteA perfect day for me would start out like this: I would get to sleep in until about 9:30 in the morning get up and take a hot shower. I would then get ready for the day wearing something comfy and eat some good breakfast, I would have bacon and butter toast, I would then brush my teeth. I would then sit down and play some video games until about lunch time (12:30). I would then eat a good lunch, a good jacks pizza in the oven with a side garlic bread toast. To top off the rest of the afternoon I would go bow hunting. The reason this would make the perfect day is because I love the outdoors and sitting in the woods for 3 hours, patiently waiting for deer sounds fun. I would then come home around 7 p.m and my mom would cook me a steak with a side of mash potatoes, then finally I would go to bed around 10 p.m to get a good night rest. This would make the perfect day for me because I love to eat good food, play video games with friends, and enjoy the beautiful weather outside.

I believe my perfect day is waking up at around 9 am. Waking up at a beach house with friends and getting all dressed up and look nice. We would go out for breakfast and then change our clothes and go to the beach. We would then go back and hang out and have lunch. For supper, we would grill out and sit around a bonfire. We would then all get ready for bed and watch scary movies and have snacks. That is my idea of a perfect day.

My perfect day would go a little like this. First I would wake up around eight or nine o'clock. Then I would cook some eggs, bacon, and toast. After that I would chill for about one hour. Then I would go hi the gym and lift for about an hour or two. After lifting I would go home take nice hot shower and after the shower I would take nap. Right after my nap, wake up cook some chicken with broccoli and white rice. After eating I would watch some Netflix and fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect day would start by waking up at 8 am. I would start by brushing my teeth, shower and have my breakfast which i will have eggs, sausage and pancakes. After that i will go hang out with my friends play some COD at my house. Then go out to the movies. After that we will go out somewhere to eat then head home. After all my friends left my house i will get ready for bed.
ReplyDeleteI would wake up at 6:45 only to see classes were delayed that day and go back to sleep and wake up again at 8:00 and take a perfectly warm shower and get dressed and go to classes. I would sit next to my best friend as always and when we would listen to our professor give a lecture on Ancient Greece. Me and my best friend would then drive to the mall while talking about whatever show we have been binge watching on Netflix together recently. We would go to BAM and chat over coffee (I would be drinking a french vanilla Cappuccino) we would browse for a bit until we found a quiet corner of the store to relax and they would grab a copy of Paradise Lost and sit down on a nearby chair and vent about classes while I would make a sarcastic remark or two and from there the scene would evolve into a playful battle of witty insults. We would then go spend a two hours playing Gorn and Arizona Sunshine at a nearby VR arcade. Then we would go eat at godfathers. We would order a large thin crust sausage pizza and I would get a medium soda for a drink. We would then go to my place and watch youtube videos and play online games together like Smite and Warthunder to name a few long into to the night and finally we would fall asleep watching Netflix.
ReplyDeleteDescribe your ideal day. If you had the opportunity to live a "perfect" day, according to your wishes, what would that look like? Walk us through from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night. What is your perfect day?
DeleteMy ideal day would be to go for a drive up north to see my family and drive through the Guttenberg hills when its fall. I love to look at the scenery of fall in Guttenberg its the most beautiful time of the year there. After that i would go up north to my Aunt Sonyas and all my moms family would be there and we would eat a big thanksgiving dinner. Then i would ride with my cousin to Prairie du Chein and then she would get pulled over and it would be very funny but they would let us off with a warning. Then we would watch a movie at the theaters then we would eat at Huckleberrys. Then i would go to my sisters house and drive for wheeler and give my niece and nephew a hug. Then i would go to see my nephew in strawberry point and ride for wheeler and play with the animals. Then i would go to Dubuque and hang out with my friends aka my second family and we would eat and do whatever we want. Drive around and be back at their house to sleep.
My perfect day would entitle me waking up to the Tennessee sun shining through the window, taking a shower in my big walk-in shower. Then making breakfast, and my iced coffee. Then I’d join my dog on the front porch and finish my coffee with him. I also would take in the view around me and realize how lucky I am. I would then go pick up my girls and we would go shopping all day. We would go to lunch. We then would go get ready for our Morgan Wallen concert we have later that night. Then my girls and I would go to the concert and have the time of lives and hope that Morgan sees us and waves at us. We would then go home because it has been day, but it was a perfect day. This is what my perfect day would look like.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect day would involve sleeping in and waking up looking forward to a day with no responsibilities. I would start my day by getting into my car and taking a drive to the nearest fast food place, where I would indulge in a breakfast consisting of something super unhealthy. I'd eat the food in the car on the way home, and by the time I get home, I would already be done eating and ready for my day. After getting ready, I would invite some friends to do some window shopping, but since this is my perfect day let's say I have enough money to actually buy things. After shopping and having a day of fun, I would go home, where I can catch up on drawing my comic. By this time, it would be around dinner time, and since I didn't eat lunch, I'm absolutely ravenous. I would call my boyfriend and have him make me dinner (since he know's how to cook and I'm absolutely hopeless when it comes to cooking). After hanging out for an hour or two, I would go to bed, but I'd stay up for another hour or two on my phone. Perfect day.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect day for me would be to wake up and have nothing planed for the whole day. I would sleep in and wake up around noon and call friends but not Jarett because he’s not my friend. Then we would call my brother Jake and ask for the “Usual” package. Then I would meet up with them and go roading the rest of the afternoon. Then we would find a party to go to and party till I fall asleep.
