not knowing a single sole was the hardest thing i’ve ever gone through. The first weeks of college was a culture shock to say the least. I was exposed to so much more then I thought I would. Thee first few weeks I couldn’t believe how sheltered I was back in my small town. Not knowing anyone, I felt the need to participate in things that were against my morals. I thought that the only way to make friends here was to do go along with want everyone else was doing. For fear that I would be labeled as the girl who has never done this or that. I faced an all time low, doing things that I never would have done before college, just to simply “fit in”. After my mid terms, was a huge wake up…
Managing time well may be one of the most important things to know when raising a child alone. With so many conflicting schedules, a child has to, at some point in their lives, give up things they want to do. In the article Happy Father’s Day, Mom, A single mother with two kids named Martha Medina says, “‘In the midst of all this, you realize you’re sacrificing their childhood’” (Foerstner 2). In The Odyssey, Penelope realizes her son’s childhood is being taken away from him when he has to…
I was afraid to ask for help, fearing that I would be ridiculed for asking and so for years, that was my state of mind. Throughout my elementary and middle school years, I hardly had any friends. My lack of communication and my shyness have prohibited me from making friends, forcing me to drift along the of the edge of school crowds- I felt like a complete outsider. Although being independent taught me to become responsible, it did not take away my feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem.…
“Missing You” versus “Kitchen Sink” Did you know that Tyler Joseph writes his songs in the winter because that’s when he feels the saddest? The song “Kitchen Sink,” by Twenty One Pilots, was released in 2011, on their EP album titled “Regional At Best.” This album was later removed from iTunes and all other music selling sites, this was because Twenty One Pilots singed to a new record label called “Fueled By Ramen.” The song “Missing You,” by All Time Low was released on their latest album,…
goals are something I have always dreamt my life would end up like. Although this may be difficult to juggle I am willing to work for that goal. Whatever it take to be successful. In seventh grade I began playing volleyball. I made all my middle school teams and continued to improve more and more. Soon enough I was on my high school freshman team, my coach didn’t play me as much as others although playing time was supposed to be even. In the offseason I continued playing club volleyball with a…
citizens with one simple question: What is going to happen to us? With morale at an all time low due to the turmoil and division inside and outside our borders, we were in desperate need of a miracle to bring our nation back together. This miracle came in on February 22, 1980 at the Lake Placid Olympic Games in New York City. A hockey team made up of young college kids battled a strong, fast, experienced, and so far undefeated group of “super athletes” from the U.S.S.R in a David v. Goliath…

I was to focused on what time is it, how many more songs are we singing, how much longer until we get home, and so on. I never…
awakening and ruined we see the transformation of sex. We see women being “ruined” by it and we see young teens falling in love trying to figure out what sex means to them and how it should be interrupted. Is it natural, is it frightening, or is it a sweet connection between man and women? 2.) In Spring Awakening there was a scene that struck me hard. It was the scene that Martha tells all of her girlfriends…
would never judge a heart surgeon based on his knowledge of eyes so this leaves me with the question; why does society hold men to strict standards of dating? Women complain about men turning into 'Fuck Boys', yet criticize or look down upon a man that seek guidance from another man to become better in social situations. It is my job to work towards changing the social stigma of men's self-improvement in relationship matters. I want someone to view my services the same way as a man hiring a…
