When your favorite show ends the way you
wanted !

You're sitting, waiting,watching your favorite show. Day

after day, you binge it because it’s great. Then …..Boom!
One of your favorite characters are gone! Plot twist--who
would have thought? Episode after episode keeps
giving you mixed signals, never going how you expect.
The seasons ends, and not the way you
wanted it to. That there, ladies and
gentlemen, is just depressing. You go to
the menu… wait… there’s another season!
You gave it this much time, so what's a bit
more. Relationships form, mysteries are
solved, and questions are answered… all
the way you wanted.
AWESOME!!

 Crunchy Snow
There are many satisfying sense related things. There are those you smell like
the amazing scent of gas. There are those you feel like peeling the protective
film off of a new phone. There are those you see like filling a glass to the very top
with water without spilling any. But few check many boxes. There is just
something about that super crunchy noise when walking in snow. It’s like walking
on a huge pile of super crunchy chips. The sound it makes is so amazing the way
the snow reflects the sun it’s incredible and just satisfying. that by far is the best
part of the snow or just winter in general. The best part is when you jump into a
big pile of crunchy snow when you hit the snow it makes a big crunch and the
soft snow cushions your fall. One of the other good things about crunchy snow is
picking up a big piece and dropping it and then it breaks up into a bunch of
pieces. Now that is AWESOME!

 Rolling the perfect snowman during
christmas break
One morning during the holiday season your parents interrupt your sleeping
session, then make you get all your snow gear on and stumble out the door half
asleep. You start your fun with one step *Crunch* Could it be? real packing snow!
A rare occurrence even in northern parts of the world. You waddle outside in your
clunky snow boots and pants, Your
yard is filled with 2 ft of snow
and you start brainstorming tons
of possibilities for something fun
to do. I know, let's build a
snowman! You begin rolling your
snow boulders. The snow starts
to disappear as if you were
mowing the lawn with a snow
boulder. The satisfaction of
watching the snowball double in
size every couple of meters. You
gradually see The green grass
appear behind the boulder you have been rolling. You slowly watch your snowman
roll into perfection as you prepare to get the other supplies for the facial
features. One last thought is in your mind, should I add 2 or 3 snow boulders, you
want the best snowman you can make so you decide on adding 3 boulders. Once you
add that final pointy carrot you think to yourself
AWESOME!

 When you finish cleaning your room!

Your parents come to your room and tell you to clean your room.you feel there is nothing
wrong with your space and that you shouldn't clean. But then you realize you have to, so You
go down the stairs and grab garbage bags, wipes, the broom,the mop and everything you need.
Then you get back up the stairs and start cleaning. You pick up all the trash, wipe down the
room, start sweeping, then you mop. Now finally you think you're done after an hour but
you're not. You forgot the closet!So you grab everything you need once again but then your
room is a disaster again.you get frustrated at everything and everyone all because your
closet was piled with All your stuff . Shoes,blankets,clothes, even your instruments are in
there and it all falls out so now you clean again for another hour and now it's actually
clean. FINALLY it's cleaned. Then you realize.slow down and celebrate cleanliness you have
worked on and now ur face brings on a smile.

Printed paper
By Azayda

At school many students are working on really hard and

long essays. It took what felt like ages to complete but
actually only took a few days to finish. After having the
teacher look over the work you press
the print button. You raise your
aching hand to ask the teacher to go
get them from the printer downstairs.
They say yes so you stand up and leave
the classroom. Walking down the silent
hallway only hearing the sound of your
feet hitting against the cold hard
floor. When in front of the printer
room, your hand slowly turns the door
knob. After making it into the room
you take a deep breath and smell the freshly printed
paper. You made it just in time to see the last piece of
paper finish printing. After walking up to the papers and
picking them up. When you pick it up the tiredness and
aching in your hands disappear because they’re still
fresh from the printer, nice and warm.
Awesome!!
When you get home from school and get to spend
time with your dog
Lylah Hellyer

We all have those days where we know something exciting is going to happen. It could be a trip, your
parents making you your favorite food, or seeing your best friend. No matter what it is, time always
seems to slow while you wait. You're usually at school, watching the clock counting the seconds until
you can leave. Today is one of those days. You zone out for a moment, wondering when the teacher
will let you go. When the teacher says you can go, you practically fly out of the classroom down the
stairs barely slowing as you run out the door and leap into your parents car. After a few minutes of
driving down twisting roads and up and down hills, your parents pull into the driveway. They have
barely slowed when you hop out of the car and begin dashing to the door. You place your hand on
the door handle, warmed from the sun. You turn the door handle and push the door open before you
step inside, close the door, and run into the kitchen. You drop your backpack onto the table, now for
the moment you’ve been waiting for! You turn from the table and sprint down the hallway, stopping
at the back door. You peer through the window and see your furry companion basking in the
warmth of the sun. You place your hand on the cool handle, slide open the door and step out. Your
dog opens one sleepy eye and spots you before running over and jumping up on your legs. You sit
down on the grass, your dog lays next to you and both of you enjoy the warmth of the sun together.
AWESOME!!!!!
 The first one on a groomed, snowmobile trail
Winter creates some of the greatest sights and feels. The feel of the snow is so
soft and smooth. One of the greatest sights are fluffy snowflakes gently falling.
It makes you feel like a kid. You want to stick your tongue out and catch the
snowflake.
Those who snowmobile get to experience all that and so much more. They
have a different kind of fun. And it’s so exciting when it gets started.
One morning, you look outside and see some snow outside. You think that it is
snowmobile season but snowmobile is not the only thing you could do. You could
go snowboarding and you could go
skiing too. You go out to the kitchen
and get some breakfast. You get my
phone out and look at the weather
and see that it is going to snow half
of the day. You waited patiently for
all the snow to come and when all
the snow came it was falling in light
white flakes or lying on the ground as
a white layer. When it was done
snowing. There were piles of snow on
the ground. You think to myself all
the snowmobile trails should be getting groomed. You go to my room and get on
all of my snowmobile clothes and go out to the shop and get the snowmobile all
really to go. You get the family really and you are off. You get down to the trail
and see that the trail we're just groomed. The snow is so smooth and there is no
bump or lump in the trail. You start to drive and it is so smooth. You get it back
and have some hot chocolate.
AWESOME!!!

 Opening a can of pop

It’s a scalding summer day and you are hot and thirsty. You head inside to grab a

drink and open the fridge and peer inside. Expired milk? No thank you. Water?

Too plain. Apple juice? Who wants that? Then you see it. The metallic glint of the

pop can in the fridge light. You grab it and feel the water condensing and slowly

open it. As you start to open it you hear that amazing sound

that crack ftzzzz. Refreingness lies ahead.

AWESOME!

 Getting in to a hot tub in the middle of winter

Let's face it, winter is fun and there are so many things to do but most of them
make you cold. So it is important to stay warm and when you just get inside from
playing
All day, you need to get warm and ya blankets work but sometimes they can be
annoying. Like if they don't cover your whole body or they get all bunched up.
Fireplaces smoke up the house sometimes. So it makes it that much harder to stay
warm but you need to do it. You know the solution: a hot tub. First you have to get
everything you need. So you get your
bathing suit sandals and your towel and
head out. It is Super cold outside so
you have to do it fast. You open the
door and run as fast as you can in those
sandals to get to the hot tub. You run
down the stars and across the path but
you slip on a patch of ice into the snow.
Now you really need to get into the hot
tub. You get up as fast as you can trying
not to slip. You turn the corner and there it is the tub of hot bubbly chlorine
filled water. You run over and get in. and the moment you sit down And the warm
relaxing feeling you get is just.
AWESOME!

 Having a hot bath after a bad day

Life is full of miserable things, one being having to go to

school.A lot of things happen to your body. You can twist your
ankle, pull a muscle, break a bone, and sometimes you need to
block out all the miserable things about life.You need to turn
on the tap to hot and fill a bathtub with nice hot water. It
doesn't matter if you're hot or
cold, happy or sad, the only thing
that matters is that you will feel
so much better after. Your body
gets sweaty, cold, and a whole
bunch of other stuff. This method
works best on a sad rainy day
when you’ve had a terrible day.
Once your bathtub is full grab your favourite book, bubbles
and your favourite smelling bath bomb. Jump right into your
nice hot bathtub and lay reading for as long as you wish.
AWESOME!

Coming home after a long winter day and the
home is super warm
It's been a long cold day, you're walking home, your
face feels numb and it's snowing like crazy. You walk
up to your steps, you open
the door and a wave of
heat comes out.You go
and get a blanket and go
next to the fireplace and
watch the flames dance
across the fireplace. You
feel the waves of warmth
guide over you and feel the fuzzy comfort of the
blanket embracing you. Now that's that
AWESOME!!!!

Smelling bacon and eggs when you wake up

You're sleeping, you wake up and you smell

the greece. You go downstairs. You hear the
sizzle. You know that this morning delight. You
see the bacon and eggs on a plate sitting on the
table. You want to save the bacon but it doesn’t
last long.
Awesome!

 Having an ice cold drink on a hot day.
S.G

You wake up and you are on a mission to find

a cold drink. The three big problems are
that it's super hot and you really need a cold
drink, your body is still tired, and you still
can’t find the cold drink. The only place you
haven’t looked was the
fridge, you sneak up on the fridge and
you open the fridge door. And after
digging through some food, you find the
heavenly perfect cold drink. You quickly
grab the cold drink, and you drink the
cold drink sent by the heavens, and you
finally feel the lovely cold sensation and
you feel so amazing. Wow, now that’s
AWESOME!!!
Waking up to the smell of bacon and pancakes in
the morning

Waking up in the morning with your eyes looking up at the

ceiling of your bedroom and the sun peeking in through the
blinds of your window. You sit up in bed, throw the blankets
back and take a big stretch and your feet hit the floor,as your
pull yourself out of bed. You smell the sweet and the meaty
scent. Only having bacon and pancakes with the maple
syrup that we got earlier in the year on the side of the road
from a vendor, makes everything just taste so much better.
Smothering the bacon
and pancakes with the
syrup as I enjoy it with a
nice tall glass of Orange
juice that was freshly
squeezed. Having an
aroma of smell and
taste to wake up to on a
sunday morning, now
that’s
AWESOME!!!

Getting the gift you want
Your birthday Is one week away and every day you keep and keep
dreaming about your gifts. You go to your friend's house and see the
gift that you want. You ask your parents if you can get that gift for your
birthday. They Say I don't know, maybe we will see.You get mad
because maybe it's a no. Your friends tell you that the gift that they
have that you want is very expensive. Two days before your birthday
you go to the store and see the thing that you want . You get so happy
but you look at the price tag. You can’t help but feel disappointed. You
go to sleep and keep thinking about the toy. You wake up 24 hours
before your birthday. You keep thinking and thinking and thinking about
the present. You wake up very early in the morning and your parents
are not awake. They finally wake up but you have to eat breakfast firs.
Then they go to store to get groceries. Finally it’s gift time. Your gift is
so small you're like oh my gosh that's not the gift. All you'll see is a
$100 bill. Now you can buy the present that you want.
Awesome !!

 Ice cold water in the middle of the night
Isabella Lane

You come home from an exhausting day. You just had a long miserable day at school and
hung out with your friends for a little while. You can’t wait to go to bed but before you quickly
throw on your pj's it’s around 9.00pm. You jump into bed and fall asleep in 5 minutes. You wake
up randomly not knowing if it’s 2:00 am or 6:00am. You take a look at your phone being
confused. It's 2:58am you try to go back to sleep as you're still half asleep. You toss and turn
so many times and realize that your throat is so dry. You start to stare at the ceiling
remembering you have a drop of water in a water bottle. That has been sitting there for
about two months. You drink it, the room temperature liquid goes down your throat. You think
you're fine as you try again to fall asleep. It doesn't work, you think about going down stairs
and getting a tall glass of cold ice water. But you still have that fear of all those inimaginable
things you think about all the stuff that could happen but there is not a chance that it would.
You try to push it off as your throat gets dryer you can’t take it anymore you find your
courage to face your fear and go down the steps.
You're down there you look to your left and right well aware of everything you turn on one
light only and get the ice cold water. As fast as possible you turn off the light and sprint up the
stairs spilling a little bit of your but not caring as you think you will clean it up in the morning.
Finally you're in your room and you take a gulp of the ice cold water. You feel it go through
your body and you can finally fall asleep to get a goodnight rest.
Awesome!
 Coming home to dinner ready.
R.F

We all have something we do on the regular. Some of those

things could be work, school, sports, etc whatever it is. These
activities make us feel exhausted, physically and mentally
drained. There is no other way to dissolve this problem than
coming home when dinner is ready. Picture this: you come
home really hungry and then you find out that dinner is sitting on
the table, waiting to be eaten, you take that first bite and your
taste buds are full with flavor, you've been waiting for this all
day. Finally something to quench your exhaustion and hunger.
Now that is the best feeling after school, sports or whatever you
do, we can all relate to this. AWESOME!
Taking you’re sweater out of the dryer

Its warm In Canada, it's cold most of the time.

There’s blizzards in winter. Fall and spring are
filled with rain and wind. So much of the time
your face is numb and your body chilled.
Luckily there are many solutions to your
problem, but some are better than others. You
come home and you drag your feet up the
stairs. But you just realized that you're cold,
once the cool sets in it's hard to get rid of. You
look over and realize that your favorite sweater is in the dryer. The
dryer is spinning like a tornado. While you wait for the dryer, you change
out of your wet clothes. Weighting for the dryer felt like an eternity,
though, it was only 8 min. As the dryer bell went off, it's like someone
rang the dinner bell. You run as fast as you can to get the sweater.
When you get to the dryer, you quickly put your favorite warm sweater
on. It felt
AWESOME!!!

 Watching clouds pass by.
By:Makayla Ough
Life is full of miserable things. All kinds of things can happen at home,
school, work, your friend's house and a whole lot of different places. When
you're miserable you feel exhausted.

Sometimes you just need to slow stuff down. You gotta get out, for a walk,
and look around. Calmness is right in front of you. There’s the nice green
grass and the big puffy clouds. Clouds can make all different kinds of
shapes, something like a dragon or a Buffalo.You can just lay down on the
grass and look at the sky and see what shapes the clouds make. All is right
again.
AWESOME!!!!!
 Winning a tournament for you soccer team

Do you ever have that one feeling where the whole game is on your shoulders.
When you're not that stressed but a second later you release that your whole team is
depending on you. You're thinking oh my goddess if I miss this shot my team will
hate me forever. you remember that even if you lose you will remember who
almost won the championship and was named mvp and even if you missed you
were still the top goal scorer in your tournament. The clock is ticking, the referee is
setting up the penalty and your whole team is cheering you on. Taking a deep breath
and saying in your head. Come on, I can do this if not for me or for the whole team.
Taking the last breath and running and the next thing you know. GOALLLLL you
score the winning goal. your whole team starts jumping on you, you have tears of
joy. you get to hold the trophy and get the MVP trophy. the team throws you a
really big party.

 A Big Glass Of Lemonade
On A Hot Day By Sydney

Summertime is great but it can also be hot, sweaty and boring. Having the
summer off of school is great, but don't get me wrong it can get boring not having
anywhere to go during the day. Although you are free to do whatever you would like
for example going swimming, playing grounders at the park with your
friends,enjoying the summer heat at the beach with your family and rollerblading.
Summer is hot and humid which is extremely sweat inducing. Everyone needs a
perfect refresher in the summer. Especially when you are
playing outside with your friends, miserable because you
forgot your water bottle and you are so hot you are
practically watering the grass beneath your feet with sweat.
Your friends finally let you go back home. As you are
walking on the hot sidewalk looking at the burnt toasty
worms flattened on the ground you see a glorious,
sparkling, mouthwatering cup of lemonade being held by a
tall man with a toddler. You make it your mission to find
out where he got it. So you run around the block still
dripping with sweat when you see the most amazing sight,the lemonade stand you
sprint over and buy some lemonade. You slurp down the entire cup of cold delectable
lemonade in what feels like less than a minute and all of your problems go away.
AWESOME!!!!
 Getting out of school for summer

The school year is long and can be very boring. You have tests, a lot of homework and other
stuff. You might have weekends but that's at the end of the week. After 2 days you go back to
school and start doing work again. Then June rolls around and that's the
end of the school year. One of the best feelings is waking up and realizing
that you have 6 full hours of school left until summer break. Which
would be a break from all the work you did over the school year. Your
class starts watching a movie and having a party with pizza, popcorn and
stuff. At lunch you can sit anywhere you want so you sit with your
friends. When it's almost the end of the day your class goes outside for
the rest of the day. You think it is pretty radical. You guys go on a walk around the school and
to the park where you stay there until 3:15 which is when you start to head back. You find a
quarter on the ground from 1876 which makes your day a lot better because you realize that
coin could be worth up to $800. When it's 3:30 everyone is called for the bus and now you wait
to go walk home. You start walking home at the end of the day and realize that you have 2
months ahead of you where you can just go into the pool and relax.

AWESOME! A.D
 Jumping in Leaves

Kaleb

Fall can be amazing and one of the main reasons is leaves. They
change colours and they change all shades of orange, yellow, and
red. You can throw them around, and make crafts with them.
But the parts of leaves is
jumping in them. This can
lead to all kinds of fun.
Sometimes the leaves are
wet and then you get a
little wet and sometimes
they are crunchy. You can
have your cousins so you
can have a shared experience. You can throw the leaves at them
or you can rake all of them all into a big pile. You can be happy
to jump in leaves. You can also throw leaves at your friends. Or,
you could bury yourself and hide from the world.
AWESOME!!
The perfectly toasted marshmallows
All good things have a good ending. For example, tv shows, movies, sports all are
more exciting when they end well. Even the perfect day needs a good ending.

It's the perfect summer. It's warm but not to hot. Everything is going just as planned.
The best possible way to end the day is by having a BBQ. With everybody in your
neighborhood. Adults are talking Ruby while having drinks. Kids are playing in the
pool and having fun. Food gets called then everyone digs in. Once everyone is done
eating the campfire is in full swing. Everyone sits down and campfire songs start.
Everyone is having the time of their life. You think nothing can get better. then
smores get pulled out and you
know that this is the peak of your
summer. So you start to roast, you
take your eyes off it for a second
and whoosh the first one catches on
fire. You don’t think much of it so
you start a new one and you have
all your attention on it whoosh out
of nowhere your second one also
caught on fire. You start to lose
hope. You think to yourself, “can’t
end my day like this.” You put on your game face on and you start to roast. It's off to
the races. You concentrate so hard, you start to sweat. Boom you have the perfectly
toasted marshmallows that has the perfect golden brown outside and the gooiest
inside you even shed a tear. You grab the perfect honey gram slam and the creamiest
of the chocolate hershey's of course. The time is right you take a bite and boy is that
the best thing you have ever eaten and that is the perfect summer night
AWESOME!!!

 Knowing you are your dog’s favorite person
By: M.G

Life can be hard and having a pet can help

out. When we are having bad days an animal
knows and can do so many things to make
you feel better. When you walk in the door
with your whole family and your dog goes
straight to you every time. You get down on
the floor with him and he puts his front paws on your shoulders like he is
giving you a hug. The feeling of your pet following you everywhere. When
someone calls him over he goes to them but after a few seconds he runs
back to you. If someone takes the dog on a walk and is holding his leash
and you are walking beside the person he will walk perfectly but if you stop
to tie your shoe he won't walk until you are done. If you are around the cat
and he walks in and sees this he jumps up and smacks the cat and the cat
smacks him back but the dog acts all dramatic and pretends to fall over a
few seconds after being slapped. Life can be hard and a pet helps in every
way, Awesome!!!
