Growing up with a ranching family means we rarely get time off from work or school to do fun or exciting things like ordinary families. When any opportunities come for us to go on small trips, we take them. With that, for the past ten years my dad has made vacation an annual occurrence. Vacation for us represents getting a “reward” for having a successful year of work and school year. Vacation is also a time where my entire family and I can wind down and relax for a week without having to worry…

Swiss Village. In the first activity, the man began his journey by driving away on his moped. This scene foreshadows the man’s day because he ventures out into the realm of the community.

First, the definition can imply to anyone who ventures outside of one’s own comfort zone. This can apply to a man that likes to study science, or a woman that applies for a job, even to a kid who likes to travels outside their neighborhood. Clearly, these examples go against common intuition when someone thinks of Indiana Jones and Jack Sparrow. True, these…

successful life.

My mother wanted to name me Skylar, but my father wanted to name me after himself, and so my name became David Michael…

The Multiverse and the Ethics of Video Games One friday afternoon after school, I sat down at my computer and began to play a game. As I played, the same question kept popping up in my head over and over again,”why does this matter?, Why should I care what is happening on screen?”. As I continued to play, an idea struck me, what if I was seeing the characters, events, and lives of an alternate world? What if every death in a game was a real death somewhere.

Nonetheless, success should not be defined by only one big time event. The next few years for esports are crucial and could make or break the entire industry if done wrong. There are a lot of…
