"... and remember, you are strongly advised to travel in groups in light of the recent events," Felix Kyle reminded them as they left the laboratory after what was the last lesson of the day. He had been granted authority to help in forensics by the police, with the supervision of their own forensics team, of course. They had collected what they had needed and today was the last day before they had to send the body back to prepare for the funeral. Felix was in his mid-thirties, single, with…

Death by drowning has always been my biggest fear, little did I know it would almost become my reality.

I started appreciating my life even more after one day in the summer of 2011. One scorching day without a single cloud in the sky my family, my two best friends Emma and Julia, and I decided to go to the small dock in my neighborhood. We played in the refreshing…

My only thought with the pain all over my body was to leap into the river my leader had just yelled at us to get out of 3 minutes earlier. In the summer of 2013 my Boy Scout troop took a high adventure trip with the Wayland and Hopkins troops down to Coker Creek Tennessee to go white water rafting, the trip started out very well with a 10 hour car ride sitting on the hump on the back bench of a pickup truck. The First day consisted of us waiting an hour for someone to show up at the camp…

There were lots of different people here that you knew, but you still didn't consider anyone as a friend. You stood in the queue, playing a game on your phone for pastime, and waited till you could serve yourself some food. Just as you finished the 4th level in your game, the doors opened up and you turned to look at who was making so much noise. It was a group of boys, seven of them, and they were all strikingly beautiful. One of them you recognised from before; he was the boy who you had…

In part one of “How to Become a Straight-A Student” by Cal Newport the main of this story is how to not to work and study for twelve hours straight, to show how to manage your time doing some simple things and help you avoid the urge of procrastination. The five ideas that resonated with me was making a “To Do List” and a “Things to Remember Column”, to feed my body with nutrients, tell others of your work and go to an area where there is no one you know, plan the hard days in advance, and to…

Throughout my educational career, I have overcame many obstacles. Overcoming certain obstacles needed a support system that could put the balance within my life. Relating to other students as well. I have learned that when a support system is failing, it greatly affects my educational career. Where even one of my greatest downfalls was flunking a grade. The biggest supports and obstacles are your family, your social life, and yourself as a person. Everyone does make mistakes, but it 's up to…

Have you ever read something or have done something without knowing the true meaning? In the story "Remember" by Joy Harjo has more meaning behind what it says. Every line in the poem has an even deeper meaning in every word, line, and sentence and the more you read and actually look into it the more you understand the context behind the words. Lots of people do something or read something without thinking about what they have done, they don’t understand the essence of it. If they took the…

Could you ever imagine waking up one day and everything was different? Not being able to be sprawled out in your perfectly good bed each morning, but waking up in various locations for protection. Having to carry some sort of weapon every time you go outside just in case you run into a pack of zombies looking for fresh flesh. This all seemed too much and it was only my first year at Missouri State. A zombie apocalypse was not something I expected from college, especially to be one of the few…
