We were on our way to our destination of eternal bliss. We have been on the road, sky’s beautiful as a summers dream, for nearly five hours, but we were filled with a sense of serenity for we knew what destination lied ahead of us. We came to a halt in front of a gas station to fill up on gas and stock up on snacks for the remaining hour or so that was left in front of us. “I’ll go pay for the gas a grab some snacks. Want something Joe?” I asked. He replied, “yea, grab me some chips a hoy cookies and some oreos.” “I’ll take some Oreos as well,” said Jillian. I looked up in the sky, smiled as I did, not a cloud in sight. As the sun’s rays beat down on my face I thought to myself, “This is going to be some new life.” After the car was re-energized and we had our snacks to munch on, we took off once more. Anticipation was slowly but surely overcoming us all. “What’s the first thing we’re going to do once we get their?” asked Jillian. I replied by telling her in a serene-like tone, “We are first going to the apartment because I cannot stand one more minute in this crammed car.” An hour passed and we were really becoming overwhelmed with anticipation, but at the same time we were getting really irritated at the fact that we had not arrived yet. Just as we were reaching our peak of frustration, we saw it. There it was, in the beyond, in all its beauty. “Yes!” Everyone shouted with a great roar of excitement and relief. The beach, where a person would seem at ease with the world.
As we drove alongside the coastline, we witnessed the beautiful waters, the sky giving off a sense of tranquility. Our friendship had bonded us together forever. Fate had sealed our futures together and we all, some how, got accepted to the same college. We arrived at the complex, and what we witnessed was nothing what we thought it would be. The complex was more than we expected. It was filled with the sense of morning glory aura, and our attention was grabbed by a beautiful fountain, sitting there with all its beauty. Its waters fluctuating with dazzling sparkle, and the glamorous detail carved within it. They soon left there afterwards, and they headed towards the beautiful scene of what was the ocean. They strolled alongside the sandy beach. As they did, Jillian asked me, “What kind of adventures do you think lies ahead of us?” I replied, “I don’t know Jillian, but whatever comes our way, we need to promise each other something.” Everyone stared at me, Jillian with her aqua marine eyes, Joe with his hazel, and asked, “What is it?” I replied, “We must promise each other to never destroy our friendship, no matter what the hardships.” Everyone nodded in approval, and replied, “We promise.”

You start most of your stories with the situation being told...try starting with the action on at least half of them!
