The most significant event that has occurred in my life thus far has been my parent’s divorce. When I was fourteen, almost fifteen years old, my parent’s decided to end their thirteen years of marriage. At the time I had no idea on how to feel about it and wasn’t sure exactly why they had made this big decision, but as the years passed I slowly gathered the information and pieced it all together. In about November of 2010 my parents had separated, but remained under the same roof until late…

This idea is investigated throughout both the written and visual industries continuously. One novel containing redemption, is the eye-opening story of World War I, Johnny Got His Gun, by Dalton Trumbo. The captivating plot tracks a young soldier, Joe, who is an…

Throughout Breakfast with Buddha, Merullo writes about the lessons Rinpoche teaches to Otto. More of the straight forward lessons and guidance occur in chapters 23-34. These lessons are more like ideas for Otto to think about and if it would be acceptable to apply to his daily life.

The mind is such a complex and convoluted part of the human body. Our memory and the way we perceive and interpret things is a concept that is truly fascinating to me. In the 1961 French film “Last year in Marienbad” the complexity of the human mentality is tested both within in the film itself with the main characters but also outside it with the viewers themselves. A majority of the film takes place in a hotel and focuses on an unnamed woman who is approached by an unnamed man who claims that…

As athletes, I think we all HATE going to practices. They’re exhausting, boring, and we almost feel like we don’t really need to be there; but trust me, we do. I have been cheering since I was 5 years old and now that I have seen where it has got me today, I will never take another practice, competition, or game for granite.We have to work for everything in our lifetime and if we think it’s just going to be handed to us, we’re wrong. Every second we are able to be on that blue mat is worth it.…

In life, humans sometimes do better when they work as a team. It is the fact that helping one another is what makes a job easier. It all started when I was painting my room and my brother came and grabbed a brush and started painting with me. Although I may not have asked for the help, it made the job easier and faster. We ended up finishing my room in a shorter time period. It goes to show that working together and accomplishing a goal as a team is much better than doing things alone. In the…

Okay, so you want to be a writer? One thing you have to decide is if you ever want to be rich, because if you do, stop reading right now. Money will be in limited supply, roughly enough to keep you writing and alive. Procrastination is bound to strike you, the novel will sound so great in your head that your fingers and limitations won’t want to spoil the bountiful extravagance of your ideas. Soak up every little thing that you see or hear, wring out your sponge brain on the page and craft the…
