Sometimes at night‚ when it is so dark the darkness becomes almost smothering‚ I lie awake listening to the cars outside and the endless barking of the dog next door. I think back through my life‚ to try and comfort me into restful sleep. I remember summers from my middle school days. The images yellowy‚ orange‚ warm‚ happy. Endless weeks abroad‚ the sun almost unbearable in its cruel sunburnt heat. A time when swimwear wasn’t a terrifying thought: flabby thighs‚ see-through bikinis were things

Middle school was an adventure of awkwardly dressing and thinking you are cooler than you actually are. I remember growing up hearing the horror stories of that age and how hard seventh grade was compared to everything we have ever faced before. Seventh grade was the glory year. I hated my science teacher with a passion due to her non caring attitude‚ but I loved my English teacher. The best part of the entire year‚ was lunch. B lunch was an experience never to be forgotten. I sat at the same table

Going to college‚ and being successful while in college are two completely different things. As many may already know‚ college can be extremely difficult to excel in‚ while also being easy to mess up in.

1st I felt like I was in the back of a cop car. There was a divider between the driver and I‚ I couldn’t roll down my window‚ I couldn’t open my door. This car was probably cleaner than a cop car‚ though. I’ve never been in the back of a cop car‚ but I would expect it to be less sanitary than this all too clean car. I know I didn’t commit a crime‚ but this car is making me feel like I did. I read somewhere that legally‚ suicide is a crime. This is so the police have a reason to come inside your

Going Shoeless My experiment about going against a social norm was going shoeless at a local Country Store. I drove my car to the little store down the road where I remove my shoes in my car and I left them there. When I open the door and I stepped out of my car my feet touched a cold wet pavement. I walked hurriedly to the front of the store. I was nervous‚ as I walked towards the store. I reached the doors and opened them. As I was about to step inside the woman behind the counter looked at

Optional attendance to classes at universities has been an increasingly popular way for students to study for several years in quite a few countries. However‚ it has not yet had its intended results as it had been hoped. In fact‚ today‚ this system seems to be one of the reasons for the corruption of university education. In my opinion‚ compulsory attendance is better than having no requirement to attend all the lessons on-campus. There are two points of view to this question. First‚ one side

read our innermost thoughts‚ and know our hearts. It is not up to us classify people‚ but love them. In Luke 18:9-14 has a story which exemplifies the contrast of two distinct people: the Pharisee and the tax collector.
