My Boyfriend Essay

Pains My dad always told me, when I was in high school, that my “friends were not my friends, they were acquaintances”. At the tender age of 16, I thought I would have those friends for the rest of my life. To my surprise, my best friend of three years stole from me, several boyfriends lied to me, and one boyfriend physically beat me every day for about six months. On several occasions, I was nearly killed in various car accidents. By the time I was twenty-six years old, I had graduated from the School of Hard Knocks.

The last straw was when my boyfriend, with whom I was living, strangled me because he was disillusioned by a…

Braid College is stressful. I’m in my sophomore year. I actually didn’t want to go to college before I started. And, I still don’t like going. To me, most of my classes are boring and uninteresting. I get so bored learning about religion and what makes a cell a cell in Biology 120. I can still hear the clock ticking on the blue wall as the hours go by slowly.

One of the most intriguing questions is “Why don’t women just say what they mean?” Women use metaphors, analogies, nothing is spoken directly, questions are rhetoric and everything has multiple meanings. No wonder men have no clue what women expect from them. Women know how to introduce ideas and alternatives through the back door. Men are basic, women are…

My boyfriend Brant is no cow, so it’s very easy to push him over. Brant’s “pushover” ways are because of his lose/win paradigm. There are many paradigms of interactions and everybody has displayed them all before, but Brant loves to practice the lose/win paradigm the most. A lose/win paradigm is an interaction where Brant loses in his favor while the other person gets their way and wins. Whether he is interacting with me, his teachers, his friends or even his own sister, a lot of the time he…

high school, nobody really ever accepted me or gave me a chance. No girls ever wanted to be my friend because I was the “ new girl” but all the guys wanted to be my friends and tried to talk to me and hang out which then made things worse with girls because all the guys attention were on me, but my attention was definitely just at school. I got called a whore, slut, stupid, worthless, retarded, and many other names. Those people did not even know my name, yet they assumed all these things…

First I thought it was just the flu, but this flu was nothing like I had ever experienced before. When I was at work one day, I decided I wanted to eat hot Cheetos so I did. Once I was done eating, my stomach started to feel funny and I felt like I was going to pass out. I quickly ran to the bathroom and all the…

My hands shook furiously as Keith Shadis paced up and down around the other cadets. Chest pounding at what felt like 1000 beats a minute, I prayed that Shadis wouldn't come close to me. After seeing the way he had already interagated potato girl I don't think I would be able to handle talking to him. "Hey calm down. It's gonna be okay," I heard a voice whisper to me. I whipped my head around to see that Zoe was standing there. She was standing tall and confidently, unlike myself who was still…

"I just don 't love you anymore." He wouldn 't look into my eyes, I 'm not sure he has the whole time I 've been here. "What do you mean? You can 't just stop loving me!" I let out a nervous laugh, my hands were starting to shake and I could feel the tears in my eyes. "You can 't just throw three years away!" I screamed, anger taking over me. "Clara, things change! I 'm sorry but I just can 't anymore!" He yelled back at me, finally looking up at me as tears swam in my eyes and ran down my…
