Personal Narrative: Living Off The Grid
No Snapchat, no Instagram, no games , or texting your friends all day this would be what would happen for me if I lived off the grid. I know the million dollars would amazingly help my parents and siblings for our education mainly college. I honestly think I could live off the grid for a full year and be okay with it. I love using the Internet to help me will all sorts of thing like Little Free Libraries or discovering new things to create on Pinterest but I also know I could go without those things. It would definitely be a very hard challenge for me in a variety of ways to live of the grid.
My first item that I would bring me would definitely would be a whole supply of books to read the whole time instead of social media. I think it would be a very good thing for me to go without social media for awhile and learn some new things that I wouldn't have without living off the grid. It would also help me to not being on my phone or Netflix and study more and get better grades. One thing I definitely notice when I'm grounded from Netflix or my phone I have almost a 75% more chance of me actually doing something productive. Bringing my collection of books would I think also give me a chance to go over the ones I call my favorite and realize again why they are my favorites. When I'm just reading a few books …show more content…
it helps me calm down and destress and find a new way of doing something I just can't seem to get right.
My second item that I would bring with me would be my tennis racquet and a 5 gallon bucket of balls.
I would bring these with me because it will help me get some practice in whenever I need or want to. They're also very portable and you can pretty much play anywhere against a solid wall even without having a partner around. Just throwing the ball at the wall and hitting it always makes me feel great and is something to do when I'm not doing chores. Also I would want to take me racquet with me because it's great exercise to do besides just working. Lastly, I'd take my racquet and tennis balls because without it I don't know what to do without
it.
My third and final item that I would take with me is my makeup bag. I want to take my makeup because I like wearing it everyday. It feels good to try new makeup techniques with mascara and foundation and get it right. My makeup bag would also have my compact mirror so I could apply it everyday. I would also put toothpaste and a toothbrush in my makeup bag because that's one of the necessities I would have to have. I'd take my things in my bag because while it's not needed I still want to use these things everyday in my routine.
In conclusion, I know going off the grid will be very hard but I think I could handle for one whole, year with the things I'm bringing with me. Bringing my family with me will also help me to be able to go without technology. It would definitely be a hard experience but very worthwhile and educational. And that fake million dollars reinforces the idea of me going off grid. Lastly, no snapchat or texting my friends all the time but I know I could do it.
