The Celebrations of Sarah’s Graduation at Rock Lake
We all came together at Rock Lake, close to the university in Thu Duc City, to celebrate Sarah’s big day: her graduation. Sarah was our kind host, inviting us to a potluck dinner where everyone shared delicious dishes. The food was great, with lots of different things to try, from tasty quiches to sweet pies, and a little bit of junk food for good solution – because what’s a party without chips?
The lake was the perfect place to enjoy our party and the company of good friends. We laughed, ate, and made memories. It was a joyful way to honor the anniversary of Sarah’s journey through university. With each bite of tasty food and every shared story, we marked the start of Sarah’s new chapter.

- Hey, what a great party that was! There were lots of interesting people there, and some really cute guys. I met one really nice guy named Tom-I think he’s going to call me next week. Anyway, the best thing was the music. Everyone danced a lot. I’m really glad we didn’t have to play party games or sing stupid songs. The food was good, too.
We ate outside-you know, barbecue style.
- Sam’s party was terrible. We had to play all sorts of stupid games, like memorizing everyone’s name. Twenty questions I think.
Then we watched a home movie of Sam’s vacation in Hawaii. Boring! Actually, I prefer parties where people just sit around and talk and eat, but we didn’t eat till very late. The worst thing was when we finally did eat, there wasn’t enough food. I was still feeling hungry when I left.
- I went to this party on Saturday night.
When I arrived, I looked around and I didn’t know anyone there, but everyone was really friendly, and soon I got to know a lot of people. I really enjoyed myself.
I thought it was going to be a dance party, but no one really felt like dancing. We listened to some nice music, though. There were some guys from Spain there. One of them had a guitar and could play it really well. The best thing was he taught us some neat Spanish songs.
- I went to a school party on Friday. No one had really planned the party. That was the main problem. Also, I think we were all too tired after exams. The worst thing was no one brought any music. We just stood around talking and eating junk food. Someone said, “Let’s play some party games,” but no one wanted to play games.
Everyone went home before 10:30.
