Examples of episodic memory
1.Memory of my trip to Bahawalpur
It was a shiny Sunday morning when me and my friends planned a trip to Bahawalpur. We were
excited and happy because after a long time we were planning a trip together. It was my house
where all my friends were planning this trip. We were drinking tea while planning this trip. After
planning all the things, we were trying to arrange a car so that we can easily start our travel for
trip. Finally, we managed a car and we were ready to go to Bahawalpur. We informed a friend
that we will pick him from his house and we also asked him to manage the meal for trip. At 2'O
clock we reached Bahawalpur and it was a bit hot out there so first we stopped at a petrol pump
to drink water and after this we moved towards our first location, Bahawalpur zoo. We really
enjoyed there a lot. There were many species, diverse animals and it was all treat to watch. At
5'O clock we left for Noor Mahal and it was another amazing place in Bahawalpur. We took our
meal there and we attended a function there. After enjoying a lot, we decided to move back
because it was 7'O clock. After reaching home I thanked to all my friends for such a pleasant
trip.
2.Memory of a loved one's death
It was my 3rd day in university and I was enjoying a lot within the new environment of
university. I was in my class and I was talking to my fellows about the course work and we were
smiling a lot while listening each other’s stories. Suddenly, my phone received a call from one of
my cousins and he was very hesitant when I asked, "how are you". This seemed very irregular to
me because me and my cousin are very frank with each other, so I was very curious to know
what happened and then he told me a shocking and heart-breaking news that one of our cousins
died in a road accident. That was the most shocking news I have heard in my life. I asked him
"are you joking" but it wasn't a joke. It was reality. I was shocked and I was confused that how to
handle this situation. However, I controlled my emotions and I talked to my professor about the
situation. He allowed me to go out and then I decided to go to my hostel. From there I contacted
my family and I reached on the funeral at 6'O clock. It was very heart-breaking moment to see
my cousin's family who were brooked and speechless. I tried to give courage to them and told
them that no one can beat the death. It was a sad day of my life.
3.Memory of my old cell phone
I was 17 years old when I got my first cell phone. I was very happy on that day and I couldn't
wait to use my first mobile because I was planning this from a long period. It was summer and
hot in the morning. My father arrived at home and I asked him to give me 10,000 rupees for my
mobile. He was happy and he gave me that money. Me and my elder brother were ready to go to
the shop to purchase the mobile, so we left house at 9'0 clock and we started our journey towards
Multan. It was getting hotter because of summer but I was still excited that I'm going to use a
new mobile soon. We reached Multan at 11'O clock and we started our search for the best cell
phone in the market. At 12'O clock, we finally found a cell phone that was meeting the
requirements we had in our mind. We paid for the mobile and we started moving back to our
house because it was 2'O clock. We reached home at 4'O clock and after getting fresh I started
using my first mobile and I was enjoying it a lot.
4.Memory of my first day at university
I can clearly remember that it was a shiny winter morning and I worked up in the morning and
started my preparation because it was my first day at university and I was happy as well as
scared because I didn't visit university before this. I was thinking about the environment of the
university. I took a bath and then I started the remaining preparation. At 7:30 a:m, I left for the
university. I went to the metro station and my journey of first day at university began. After
reaching university, I started searching for the lift because I was getting late from the class. I
found a lift and I reached in my department at 8'0 clock. I was very impressed by the
environment of university, but I was scared because of ragging traditions in university. So, I
reached in my class and professor welcomed me. I attended the first two lectures and then I met
with my fellows who were also happy and scared because of the new environment and I was
happy to have them. After attending all the lectures, we sat on canteen for almost 2 hours and we
in these two hours we shared about each other, we shared that where from we are and how we
get admission here. After this, I decided to go back to my hostel because it was getting late, so I
reached my hostel at 4'0 clock but what a day it was. I can't forget any of the moments I spent
out there.
5.Memory of my first presentation at university
It was a rainy day and I was not able to enjoy the weather because I was anxious about my first
presentation. I was preparing the topic from last night but still I was feeling that it wouldn't be
enough in front of my class fellows and teacher. However, I gave myself some confidence and I
started my preparation for the university. I took a bath and got myself ready for the journey. I left
for the university right at 8'0 clock and finally found a shuttle on time. At 9'O clock I reached
there, and I was still scaring because of that presentation because it was my first presentation at
this level, and I was still planning how I can go in front of all people and deliver my topic.
However, our lecture started, and teacher started calling the name of the students whose
presentation was compulsory on that day. I was one of them. So finally, teacher called me on
stage and asked me to start my presentation. I was very nervous, but I was in control. I thought I
don't have to panic here so I started my topic and every single face was watching me and it was
making me a bit more nervous. I finished my topic in 15 minutes and by the grace of Allah it was
a good presentation. Teacher appreciated me for my effort and my class fellows were also
appreciating me and I was happy. Then our lecture ended.
