    Derrick wakes up. The hangover clings to his skull, his heart, which seems like it's barely working this morning as he rolls off of Tim’s couch and searches wildly around the living room for that glass of water he could have sworn he filled, set beside his sleeping place for when he woke up. This common, quick sense, even when he’s shitfaced, kicks in sometimes and he almost feels good about himself. But if he doesn't quench that demanding thirst now his tongue could dry up. Maybe his eyes too. Everything on the face is connected. He learned that in high school when he had an earache that gave him migraines for a month. What would you rather, he thinks now as the ache in…

    In “Depressingly Easy,” Kelly Lambert argues that modern rates of depression are directly linked to a lack of hard work. Lambert began questioning the reason behind the increase in depression when reading a book to her daughter about Laura Ingalls Wilder. Compared to the time of Laura Ingalls, advancements in technology have decreased the amount of hard work needed by individuals. However, Lambert argues that work provides necessary “effort-driven rewards” for the brain (3). Lambert describes these rewards as a neurological response that stimulates the release of “feel good” neurochemicals upon completing a complex task. The nucleus accumbens, the pleasure center of the brain, controls this response as well as the brain’s motor system and emotion…

    The memoir I read is about a young woman, Koren Zailckas, who, over the course of growing up, not only experimented with alcohol, but also went through the whole cycle of alcohol abuse. She shares her experiences in order to present that this can be the case with anyone and evolves over time, not all at once. She begins the story by talking about one of her childhood friends, Natalie, with whom presented Koren’s first sip of alcohol. She describes Natalie as one of those friends who always was the first to do things, and to encourage others to jump on board. After trying Southern Comfort at the young age of 14, she realizes that this alcohol stuff makes the inhibitions, which she struggles with so often, disappear—She loves this. She wants to drink more after this time, but Natalie goes away to a boarding school, and Koren’s source of alcohol goes right with her. She goes on to talk about her drinking experiences in high school, particularly at age 16 when she requires her stomach to be pumped after a party. She went on to college where she stayed in the party scene, joined a sorority, and continued her bad habits. She had many negative experiences including sexual encounters, fights, and problems with relationships, all while under the influence of heavy alcohol. She tries quitting a few times unsuccessfully, even moving away from the party scene. She is finally able to quit at the age of 23 after realizing how much it cost her.…

    Animal shelters exist in counties across the country in order to manage a problem that seems impossible to solve: overpopulation among cats and dogs. Overpopulation occurs when animals of the same species become successful reproducers. Cats are especially good reproducers. According to PETA, in just seven years, one female cat and her offspring will generate 370,000 cats. This staggering statistic exhibits the ramifications of an owner choosing not to get their cat or dog neutered or spayed. The burden of these offspring then lies on the shelter to house and take care of the animals until someone can provide a permanent home. Two types of animal shelters attempt to alleviate the problem of overpopulation but both face many challenges in doing…
