What is the purpose of education and how students can be reformed by it from our society? Students are consistently asked what they want to do with their lives pressured to fit in and decide in this short amount of time. The real question isn’t “why” or “what” you want to do here in college but is it important to yourself. I’ve seen countless examples of peers explaining how they only go to college to make their parents proud or they don’t have a passion for their major but instead just making…

overcoming it. You can go days without sleep. You can climb and run at speeds needed in almost any situation. You sense danger before it happens. You adapt to a fight. Most of these senses and skills are in a normal person when they are pushed into death or life situations,” he explains. “I thought you would have guessed this by now?” That means sense. I do survive. I always have. Barely. “I guess I really haven’t been thinking about it.” “Well, you usually don’t think, you just do,” Jensen…

Attention is the New Famous In the eyes of those too young to know better, becoming big and tough is just another step in life. In the poem, “Behind Grandma’s House”, the author, Gary Soto, portrays a young, troublesome boy who seems to crave attention from whoever will bestow it upon him. Through each the vivid imagery, the tough guy tone, and well-fitting poetic devices used throughout the poem. Gary Soto is allowed to portray the thematic accusation that people change both their physical and…

at this stanza! Beyoncé’s words throughout this song shows she is an artist and is singing poetry. It is like reading a poem. She uses the violent actions of being shot by a gun and I gathered it’s the same as being shot by love. No one wishes for death, but for her to say, “Die by you” means if she was to die, she wouldn’t want it to be from a sickness, injury, or maybe a car accident, but by the effects of his love, she hopes to die by the love he gives to her. I sing this song to the top of…

Truth be Told Some will argue that honestly is what defines who you are as a person. Humans are attracted to certain physical and mental traits without the realization that they are doing it. We as people interact and communicate with one another on a regular basis. This is how we live our life. When these interactions can be made with full trust in each other, the results are only positive. Being able to invest your full trust in another person is a very difficult thing to…

I’ve never had a girlfriend before. I just couldn’t approach girls in the same way as what my friends do. I see each of them makes a cute couple and wonder if I can find my soulmate soon. There are actually a few times when I meet a new girl and think, “Oh! she’s so lovely and nice to me. I want to know her more.” But I mostly let go of my chances. It’s always hard for me to approach a girl directly since I’m not a handsome guy. But this time, my destiny brought me to meet a very nice lady. And…

There is no such thing as a perfect world. Everyday decisions and sacrifices are made from the moment one wakes up to the second they fall asleep. But some sacrifices in life may be for the love of someone else other than one’s self, whether it be giving up your personal free time, letting go of a personal item for the greater good, or even to risk your life for the well-being of someone else. Either way, choices are made by everyone whether it be for themselves or for others. Thus sometimes…

Ignorance is bliss, many people today use this phrase as a means to vindicate their actions and validate their simple and close-minded way of thinking. Whether you 've heard the phrase used in those exact words or nor does mean that you have never heard it at all. This phrase has been twisted and warped into a series of much smaller and more rationalized forms such as, “he or she doesn 't know any better”, or perhaps, “how was I supposed to know?” or my personal favorite “well everyone else is…

just know that you knew I was different. Why do you keep saying that? He asked. Justin, in the months that I have known you I watched you like an eagle. I knew what you would do before you did it. I knew when you broke it off with the other girl you were seeing besides crystal, I knew when you felt like you were losing everything and trying to blame Britney or Crystal for his and I knew the moment you feel in love with me and decided to change. I also knew when you found out that I was not…

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…
