The Other Man

campus. I was bullied by a person of the opposite sex. This happened over the period of seven months, it gradually got worse before it got better like most problems do. Now, today this person and I have acted like it never happen. We say hi to each other all the time and he sits with us at the table in ding rather it is at lunch or dinner. I am almost 23 years old and this person is right around my age. So being older or way younger was the not the problem. The problem was that I was a special…

going. Decisions help people go through life each day. An example of a decision is to have an abortion or to give life to a baby. This is the decision that Jig and the American are faced with. A decision can be influenced by a relative, significant other, friend, or even a place. Jig is unsure on what she wants to do but the American wants an abortion and views the baby as a mistake and keeps forcing it on Jig. In Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” Jig’s decision occurs in a place that…

they wouldn’t dare put a label on him. Despite his extra chromosome, he is normal, but most importantly, he is special. With today’s culture, we see less significance in ourselves and more in the people who “matter the most.” Our youth is idolizing others when in reality, they need to take a step back and evaluate themselves. Every single person on this earth will forever have significance tied to their name. No one is made the same, therefore they are all special. Everyone was made differently…

We all grow up with different ideas of the perfect guy, the perfect boyfriend, sometimes we wish to be able to build our own as if they were male Barbie dolls. Well ladies, I have figured out the perfect formula of the man for me. Luckily I didn’t even have to make him. He was introduced to me on the way to a Florida Georgia Line concert wearing a white Columbia fishing shirt and most perfect smile. Most search for what they want in life, but if a relationship is meant to be it will magically…

Practicing self-awareness would require for both to know how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors affect others and to manage themselves so that the other person can feel as important part of the conversation. This could also helped them be more comfortable with themselves so they can relate to other with genuine confidence and kindness. Self-awareness would have allowed them to let the other communicate what is important to them without letting their personal issues complicate the…

I come from a divorced family. I have hateful parents, not towards me, but towards each other. I can’t stand it, the way they look at each other, the way they talk or act towards each other just irks me. I don’t blame my mother for ditching my father, who could? He was a dirty old, good-for-nothing, scumbag. Since he has left us, he hasn’t even given my mother and I a second thought. Since the divorce, I usually go to my father’s apartment on the weekend. The only reason I visit him is because…

The traffic and chilly wind doesn’t look to discourage people from coming out to City Creek Mall. I took a seat near the fountain where everyone seems enthrall to. The millennial music playing in the background, combined with traffic honks booming in consumer’s ears. The wind caressing the trees, whispering melodies in our ears, and the leaves bid farewell to its mother. The sun parted way with the sky early today, leaving only gloomy clouds greeting the city. I sit behind a group of young…

relationships with others. When we meet someone we organize them into categories based on how we compare and identify with them. The group…

to the eventual fighting between the Native Americans and European settlers, one must first learn the cultural differences between them. While, some Native American’s learned to “coexist” with new foreign settlers trading and interacting with them, other natives did not like these invaders and were eventually destroyed, usually by force. These new Europeans tried to bring their new way of life to the natives while these people just wanted to maintain their traditional and natural way of life.…
