Overall very good, just a few cases of incorrect grammar.
The difference between "it" and "that" is hard to explain when referring to something that is already known. I think "it" normally makes more sense when referring to an object, while "that" normally refers to something non-tangible, like a thought, or a "mess."
A "mess" is a noun, and "to mess up" is a verb. I can see why that is confusing, and I don't quite have an explanation for it.
"I thought he flunked on his date again." I don't know what "flunked" is supposed to mean in this context. Do you mean he didn't show up for the date? If that's the case, the American slang would be "I thought he bailed on his date again." The verb "to flunk" is only used when talking about a test that was failed. Example: "I flunked math class this year."
"... because the beach is steep." The word "beach" only refers to the area where the sand is. There is no word for the sand under the water, but there is a noun meaning a "steep decline," which is a "drop-off." For this I would either say "... because the sand under the water is steep," or "... because there is a steep drop-off in the water."
When talking about cardinal directions (North East South West), always use "of." Examples: "I'm about three miles west of there." "I live east of Sapporo."
If you have any questions, please ask :)
