When I’m taking a test there is always this feeling the back of my mind that I’m going to fail.…
We all at one point have studies hard for a test and then seemed to “forget” what we studied and our anxiety level spikes. “Whether we are prepared or not we all face the recollection of having the fear to fail, lack of preparation, and a history of failed past tests” (ADAA, 2015). When test anxiety strikes we seem to hit all of the physical, emotional, and behavioral stages of how tests affect us. Heart racing, light headed, crying, upset, angry, and overthinking are just a few of what we feel during a test. Second guessing yourself is a difficult situation when you walked in the test over prepared and then end up making the wrong decision of the easiest question on the paper. We all want and try to manage our anxiety by being prepared and taking good note to self test yourself in advance for a test. To decrease your anxiety you have to stay focused and get good sleep and eat right. Have personal relaxation techniques to stay focused of what is on the test and stay positive about the information you are taking in and be…
In today’s society, most people communicate using of cell phones. Just 15 to 20 years ago, cell phones were a rarity for the average person. The average income person could not afford a cell phone. Today, cell phones are affordable and the majority of people own them. The days of waiting until you are home to use a telephone or searching for a pay phone if you are out are long gone. In fact, pay phones are being removed, which increases the need for a cell phone. The government will provide a cell phone with limited monthly service for those that are low income and meet certain criteria. The cell phone has also created people to feel the need to be accessible to constant communication. The major problem lies with cell phone use while driving, which presents a constant danger on the road. In many instances, it is a deadly danger.…

My name is Bryan Smith and my story begins back in the year 2007 when I joined the military during my junior year of high school. Since then life hasn’t been the same. First off you need to know growing up for me was never easy. My mother never believed that medically there could be anything wrong with me and if there was, I must have made it up. Anyway, on one miserable day in late 2009, things changed in a devastating way when I was diagnosed with what’s called Scheuermann’s kyphosis disease. This disease is a degenerative spinal disease that just wears and wears at the disks and vertebra in the spine until nothing is left. Along with that it cause kyphosis, or a severe curvature.…
One would think that purchasing your first home would be a very fascinating experience; after all it is one of the most major purchases of your entire life. In America, home ownership ties in with the American Dream and the spirit of working hard to one day earn through hard work a home with a white picket fence. My husband and I felt that it was time for us to reward ourselves for all the hard work we have been putting in over the years by purchasing our first home, which was well overdue. I quickly learned the process of purchasing your first home can be very frustrating and stressful. However, if you survive the home buying process the reward is priceless once you move into your “American Dream.”…
Test day for me has come and I’m back to my anxious, terrified, and stressed self. As I sit in my desk I am beginning to feel queasy. I can’t sit still. Looking around and watching everyone else makes me wonder who I will be I class with next year.…
My life’s mantra is “think beyond”. From elementary through high school, I pushed my limits in everything from academics and service to arts and athletics. As a child, my parents kept me out of my comfort zone so frequently that it eventually became natural to do it on my own. Through trial and error, I eventually managed to balance a schedule that ensured I keep up my GPA and maintain a solid five hours of community service a week while simultaneously waking up for five a.m. swim practices and practicing piano for at least an hour a day. Time can only move forward, so I believe that I should spend every waking moment doing something that enhances my life. Because of this, I believe I would bring an aura of diligence and positivity to the Honors College community that hopefully energizes anyone around me.…
Sight being one of the most important senses a person has and one of the strongest form of communication that a person will probably use. So, it’s no wonder that a person will judge another person within the first thirty seconds of laying eyes upon them. Unfortunately, being judged by your appearance is by no means an effective way of determining what a person is like on the inside. Although, almost everyone will be judge like this daily by people they encounter throughout the day. It’s amazing how more times than not, it is a negative judging and not something positive about a person. Everyone should remember the old proverbial saying, never judge a book by its cover, never judge another person by their appearance. Because it isn’t a reliable criterion for assessing the quality of a person’s character that lies within them. Unfortunately, everyday people are wrongly judged because they are judged by the first impression someone has formed based on their appearance.…

Some of my fondest childhood memories have been shared cooking with my mother in our small kitchen. Coming from a big family it was always important that there was enough food and food that everybody liked. My mother knew every ones favorite dishes and things that we didn’t like. She is an amazing cook and always had me help especially with holiday dinners one in particular always sticks out in my flood of memories.…
As Bernard M. Baruch once said, “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” I was unaware that my opinion of myself was more meaningful than my peer’s opinion. I had a rough time figuring out who I was and who I wanted to be in my first few years of high school. The first chance I got to poke the popular bubble was taken, giving me one shot to embed myself into an exotic, unknown social group. What I didn’t know was that this social group made me feel like an outsider.…
Life is an opportunity. It is a cycle of most valuable and treasured memories that even a ninety year old and a crippled person will not be able to erase and forget. It is an endless road that is full of laughter, sweat, tearful and most of all loneliness. The land was extremely barren for my eyes. The blue angry waves of the sea made me feel so anxious to paddle my daddy’s canoe to collect sea urchins and sea cucumbers, that I could sell to earn a little bit of money to feed my firstborn three months old baby.…
I woke up in the middle of the night with a sweat all over my face. “Oh, it is such a horrible nightmare I had.” I said to myself. I lighted the candle in my room; the small frame gave me a warmer atmosphere; so I felt a lot better. I tried to continue my sleeping but I had a strong sense that there is something wrong. And what made me frighten until my heart beat faster was my sense is never lie to the reality. Nevertheless, I felt asleep again with my doubtful mind. Three hours later, the phone rang. It is irregularly for receiving a call, especially in the morning. A widow and owner of a small farmhouse like me did not give away my home number to many people. I was hesitating, but deep down I knew that the call needed to be pick up, so I did. Unexpectedly, the man’s voice introduced himself as a police from investigation department. I needed to prepare myself for their arrival at my estate; they wanted to ask me a few questions about the mysterious murder which happened to my closest neighborhood.…
