When someone says addict the first words that come to mind aren’t usually the kindest. Junkie. Loser. Burnout. In my case‚ though‚ for almost a year there was only one word that was synonymous with addict for me. Boyfriend. Freshman year is supposed to be for taking the first step into adulthood. I started out high school and resolved to do this by becoming friends with a bunch of upperclassmen. I added tons of people from Ross on Facebook which inevitably led me to Zack.

My fiancé and I normally communicate clearly to one another. We do not typically have to worry about language being that much of a barrier. On one occasion‚ however‚ our use of abstraction led to a misunderstanding that led to an argument that frustrated both of us. I was drinking red wine and was tired one night. Brett (my fiancé) told me that my eyes and teeth matched: they were both red. I became offended and thought it was rude for him to point something such as this out when I had had a long

am ready to end this. beep‚ beep‚ beep. My self control wasn’t always the best. I would speak my mind often. My mouth was at times as fast as a Nascar and as out of control as a tornado. I was at a debate tournament and I was about to ask the opposing team my questions about the South China Sea conflict. I was so anxious to ask but couldn’t due to the timer. My impulsivity is pretty unique. It’s like my super power in that it can really help me in situations where I need to think quickly and when

He flipped me off and grabbed Quinn by the waist. That had done it for me. I ran and right as I was about to tackle him I felt arms wrap around my waist. "Maya stop." Boston held me back as I fought to get loose. "That bitch did you see what he did to Lauren?!" He kept his voice calm‚ "No I did not but Maya I’m pretty sure he won’t do it again." I stopped

or maybe I just taught myself that it was a disrespectful‚ dirty thing to do to yours and another’s body. I can’t honestly say I know why I started thinking this way about it‚ but what I do know is that it simply seemed like something that just wasn’t for me. I never really argued myself on it‚ and I never really thought about it. Although it was still an extremely “hot” topic while I was in junior high‚ I chose to listen to those conversations instead of becoming one of those conversations.

When my dad called me in a serious low and kind of scratchy tone to take a seat on the couch as I looked into the kitchen my mom had tears in her eyes and immediately I knew this wasn’t about a C on my report card.

As I open the black doors‚ my eyes immediately start to search for the mop of brown hair and set of blue eyes that I have wronged.

I have always loved my life the way it was; waking up‚ eating breakfast‚ going to school‚ learning‚ leaving school‚ go to dance until late‚ come back home and do homework‚ and then go to sleep. This was my daily routine. I always had to make sure that I worked hard‚ which I did. For school‚ I was in the third grade and currently in all honors courses.
