Pacing back and forth, I pondered how our volleyball fundraiser was going to stay afloat. The council was distraught, unable to acquire more teams, with the tournament in two days. With our advisors and the vice principal leaning towards canceling the event, my council had two choices: get eight more teams to sign up or call off the event.

He watched the woman disappear through the same side door Susan had used upon her arrival. There was another fifty feet or so before Jim reached the same spot across town. When he rushed past the picture window of the building, he completely ignored the worn out sign proclaiming: Mama’s House of Pain.

I had an older brother in college and two parents who had taken me to church every Sunday since I was a little girl; despite the fact that my father and the rest of my family were Jewish.…

As I was trick or treating, I was thinking of how much candy will be on my inventory. I am assuming the more gruesome and scary your costume is, more than likely you will get more candy. I was cladded in a scary looking werewolf costume. I went up to my first house to get candy from, and they gave me not what I expected, and I had a grimace on my face. I saw a corn maze to get to this big house, and I thought to myself, I bet there is a lot of candy there.…
This song is one I relate to the most out of all the songs, as I also want to leave here and explore for myself. Where the last three songs were all mostly related to dreams, this next track is solely interpreted as a transformation piece.…
Whether choosing the Imagine Dragon, I Prevail, or Taylor Swift version of “Blank Space,” the lyrics are designed to make you fall for the singer. Through the different interpretations the artists have done, the tone of the message changes. Between Imagine Dragon’s finger-snapping rhythm, I Prevail’s punk rock, screamo dynamic and Taylor Swift’s original ominous pop tune, there are many renditions that have been and are left to be done.
