Two days passed by without the leader of ANTI. The warehouse stood silent, the only noise was arguing. After the operation turned out as a failure, Cat took matters into her own hand for a rescue mission. She spent the two days spying on the warehouse, focusing on the rotation of guards and such. Ultimately, she needed to get a better look so she decided the most craziest way possible; Join BTS. Some would call her a traitor to ANTI for thinking such things. If anything, she was doing more…

“Santa.” “What?” “Call me Santa.” “… What do you want from me, Santa?” she repeated. “See those gifts?” He pointed to a table in the corner, stacked with toys and appliances. “Wrap them. I’ll be back with more.” Suddenly the Christmas-y tentacles reached out and dug into Dianna’s pockets, taking her and her boyfriend’s wallets. “What are you doing? Please, that’s all of my boyfriend’s Christmas money!” “I’m sure he’ll be happy to know it was used to for good. Have fun with the elves.” He…

Despite the fact he'd been drifting in and out of consciousness for the majority of the day, Armin felt pretty content as soon as he opened his eyes for what seemed to be the umpteenth time. His throat wasn't as dry as it usually was as soon as he woke up from a nap, and he didn't feel as disoriented; he felt safe, warm and secure. Maybe it was to do with how still and quiet everything was; maybe it was because of how comfortable the sheets felt, warm and snug; or maybe it was because of the…

I Need You Now “I Need You Now,” by Lady Antebellum, was featured in the 2012 film Zero Dark Thirty, and it was used in television series such as Hellcats and The Glades. The song tells a realistic story about a man and a woman who loved each other, but their pride kept them apart. In the beginning, the woman sings about all of the "Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor" (line 1,2). All of the perfect things they've done together, came to an end. She missed him, and now she's…

I have regretted many things in my life, but this has to be up on my top ten list. It was the beginning of sophomore year and the new freshmen were flooding in. I always have a specific place to sit every morning, and this time there was a group of freshman surrounding it. Instead of being rude, I began conversations with each of them. Soon enough, the first bell rang and I had to toddle to my class. My lunch bell rang and I was rushing to get to lunch, I needed to be able to sit down without…

in my mom’s belly, my heart slipped into the pit of her stomach. When in 5th grade, I fell in love with the man who married Cinderella. In my 8th grade, that Valentine’s Day when dad gave me a single rose, I was pathetically delighted to have found myself in love again. When in school, I was that single girl in my group of friends who was just never dating anyone ever. Like, you know that girl? You wonder about that girl, her life and you don’t get why she just doesn’t get a boyfriend. In short…

Roth wrote that fear has changed in modern times. He noted that premodern thinkers believed that fear should be cultivated to ensure moral behavior. However, modern thinkers discuss fear as an emotion or a reaction, not deliberate and certainly not cultivated by those who experience it. I believe this shift has impacted our class because we grew up in the shadow of the September 11th attacks and in periods of serious economic uncertainty. For us, fear is a childhood companion we have grown up…

How can I open my eyes to look upon the world as I once did? If I leave them closed then everything will be as it was in my mind, before the long dark. I shuffle, place my feet firmly on the ground. Today was a beautiful day at Costa Commander Dragneel, ever watchful, smiling as I prepare myself to jump. The rocks below begin to ascend, surrounding me as I build my strength. “The enemy doesn’t wait for you Mirum!” the commander chuckles. I make the leap, shooting into the air. I fly so high,…

A deep sigh erupted from her lips as she turned off the engine and pulled the key out of the ignition. Angie leaned back her seat, closed her eyes, and just gave herself some time to think. It had already been a few days since she tried to liberate an outpost and failed miserably. Honestly, it was pure luck that she managed to take out both groups of hunters. She had begun to panic halfway through the fight, but she guessed that some of the hunters did too. She had seen a few missed shots, a…

Maybe if I stare at them blankly and will the time to past faster this tense moment will end. The time didn't pass any faster and my pause was met in return with some not so welcoming looks. "What are you interested in studying;" the question is simple, but it holds the weight of the world on my shoulders. This Wednesday my parents took me to the beautiful province of New Brunswick. I went on two college tours one at the University of New Brunswick, and the other at Saint Thomas University. As…
