Let Me Tell Ya ‘Bout My Best Friend Saige Mackenzie Polk, a five foot girl with ten feet of attitude and sass. The girl that everyone knows and watches in awe as she struts down the hallways. She’s the girl that succeeds with flying colors at everything she attempts, and never has a thought of giving up until she feels it is good enough for not only herself, but every other person around. Everything about Saige is spectacular from her contagious laugh, her constantly changing hair styles, and her enormous heart that will care for anyone, no matter what the situation may be. With her heart of gold, it was impossible not to become her best friend when I had the opportunity. The new year was about to start, and I was going to get many chances to become friends with Saige. My junior year of high school, I was blinded by the rumors and the drama and I lost the ability to see people for who they really were; and only saw who they were said to be. Unfortunate as it was, Saige was one of those people. I looked right through her and was not able to see what an amazing and charismatic girl she was. We had gone half of the long, treacherous school year only exchanging evil glances that you could feel without turning around; until we had been put into the same group in dance class. Within just a few short hours of working together, we realized that we were much more alike than we could have ever imagined. Whatever she wanted to put in the dance, I thought was brilliant; whatever I wanted to put in the dance, she was all for. With realizing how much we were alike and clicking so well together in such a short amount of time, I knew we both had a great feeling of what was going to blossom into our immaculate friendship. There were not many things that we disagreed on and as the days went by, we started to grow closer and closer. As the end of the year began approaching, mine and Saige’s

    When I made it to my junior year, I thought I had already made my friends for life. I was not necessarily open to new relationships, and I was not overly social. I did all of the same things and did not bother branching out. Hannah Hennings and I first bonded on the night of homecoming. Neither of us had dates so we danced the night away and just had fun together. After that, Hannah and I started to hang out more and more, bonding even more through speech. In February of 2016, Hannah and I both participated in individual speech. She was participating in the poetry category, and I was participating in the prose category. We both helped each other in practice and gave each other tips to get better. Hannah made it all the way to All-State Speech with that…

I detailed my plans for my future love. My “knight in shining armor” story and explained how he would arrive, and we would have a magical connection. He would love me completely and together we would ride off into the…

    I was exposed to Crossfit while I was stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany. Most people take a look at a posted workout or video, of elite Crossfit athletes and get intimidated or scared. They shouldn’t! The workouts that get posted to these sites are made for the more advanced, elite athletes. Crossfit is a new idea and like all new things, you either love it or you hate it. However, Crossfit brings something new to the table which is why many believe it is the better way of life and physical fitness. First, we will look at who started Crossfit and what it means. Then I will describe what the community is and lastly we will talk about competitions.…

    I remember on the bus home from camp. I was thirteen and so was she. When summer started I envisioned it would be me and maybe a group of boys I had yet to meet causing a ruckus every day. Instead it was just me and this one girl. In my mind, we’re still at camp as long as we’re on the bus and not at the recreation center where our parents will be patiently waiting to welcome us back to the real world. We’re still wearing our light blue camp shirts. I liked her, and she liked me. Honestly, the feeling was well beyond like for me. I’m not sure if that same adoration was mutual. She hasn’t shown a single sign suggesting it so neither have I. Satisfied with the phenomenon of this girl choosing to talk to me and do so again continually all summer. A girl who’s smarter than the average bear. One who’s hilarious in that if I say something outrageous for a laugh is willing to say something to level with me just make me laugh. Someone who also finds some way to get extremely cryptic and wise sometimes in a way I try to be. A girl, whose wild curly hair always finds its way to the front of her face. It all seemed perfect for this moment. Of course, outside of this prison we brought ourselves to we don’t live in the same neighborhood. Nor do we go to same school. In a few years unless something extraordinary happens and one of us moves, we won’t end up at the same school years down the line. So, this is pretty much the finish line; unless I man up, and it might especially be it for us if I actually do open my mouth.…

    The soft white carpet that stretches throughout the house stops, at the doorway of the room. The chocolate brown and polished, wooden floor takes the place of the carpet. The room is surrounded by earth tone colored walls giving it a feel of nature. On top of the walls are uniquely designed molding frames that present a stylish statement. Abundant natural light shines through wooden blinds of the window which is located on the left side of the room. The full sized bed is against the wall and has floral sheets, fluffy pillows, and pattern designs that complement the theme of the room. The desk next to the bed is cluttered with scraps of paper, workbooks, and erasers crumbs. Pencils, pens, and markers are neatly placed in a purple pencil box at the left corner of the desk. Two feet away from the desk stands a tall built in closet that is six feet away from the foot of the bed. Across the closet is the wall that has an entire section filled nearly dozens of collages of captured memories.…

    People are always talking about being in those situations where time slows down to the point where a few seconds feels like a few minutes, well I didn’t exactly think that is what actually happened. Until a dreary, calm, dull spring afternoon in Briargate (located in Northern Colorado Springs), about a week after my fourteenth birthday, I decided that I was going to go down to this plentifully lush creek next to a well travelled bridge. While I was walking down the sidewalk which lead to a path in the creek these dogs that were always jumping on the fence and barking viciously, the fence was bent outwards at least a foot, I suppose that day I was elected by someone up above to run. About a minute after I walked past the fence I heard this loud cracking of wood. Sure enough as soon as I turned half way around two large mouthed, sharp teethed, muscular Dover mans had just broken through the fence.…

    Julia was waiting for me to get there early. She was new here. I had a group of friends that I grew up with each summer, which was very different from my social experience home at an all-girl’s school, surprisingly. She arrived at the end of June, and I first met her as I was sitting on Adrianna’s steps cracking jokes and imitating Family Guy episodes. “The neighbors are coming!” I yelled, as I impersonated a Stewie Griffin voice. Adrianna burst out laughing, which she did often, making me feel important. Julia got out of her car holding a hamster cage and a bag. She seemed quiet, but I knew I liked her already.…

    She plopped down right next to me, her legs crossed indian-style. It was then that I thought about all the shit we've been through. All the pain we've felt... And there she goes, smiling at me with such irresistible charm. Her hair twists made one quick motion as she threw her head onto my shoulder. Then, she buried her head into my chest... and then silence. She was listening to my heartbeat, “is this real?” she asked. “Can any of this be real? Why me? Why us? How are we surviving?” A few years of questions and thoughts piled up into one moment. A few years worth of feelings spilled in a few seconds of conversation.…

    Someone that I will never forget is Clayton. Although Clayton is six years younger than I am, he is my best friend. I met Clayton on the school bus when I lived in Alabama. I just moved to a new town, so I was the new student in fifth grade. I never liked sitting in the back of the bus because it was occupied by high school students; I sure didn’t belong back there. I sat with a student who was sleeping. When we got to his school, I woke him up; he forgot his sweater and I put it away in my book bag. I knew his name was Clayton because it was written on the inside of his sweater. That afternoon I sat with Clayton again and handed him his sweater. From that day forward, Clayton and I created a strong friendship. He was only in pre-k, but I am not ashamed to say that he is my best friend. Clayton always made me drawings that I would always cherish. Once he even gave me black eyed susans, wild flowers. I know what they are called because when he handed them to me he said “Alma, I got you black eyed susans.”…
