A Little Bit Longer

want to work. There were lots of problems that happened within our team because of lack of communication. I wasn’t sure what I can do about it, the understanding and planning just wasn’t there, especially about the media log task. We all seemed a little overwhelmed by this assignment and it made it very hard to complete. I became very tired and worried as the due date approached and we hadn’t really communicated other than on blackboard. Our schedules didn’t connect so we wasn’t able to meet in…

It was August of 2015, and I was excited to get to college. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I was ready to get out of my house and move a hundred miles away to live on my own. My only real worry was I wouldn’t be able to see my girlfriend, Ariel. Ariel is my girlfriend who is in high school. She’s a year younger than me, but 2 grades below. Her eyes are such a bright blue; They almost look fake at times. She is 5’7”, and fits under my arm perfectly. She has long, thick wavy blonde hair that…

ceiling didn’t help either, because it seemed a bit too close in, and didn’t really fit the theme that the rest of the room was shooting for. The tiled ceiling in modern office buildings don’t really seem like a fit for a depression-era office building. The colors were very grim as well, which did fit the aesthetic quite well. The room gave off a feeling of being sepia toned without being too forceful about it. The room felt lived in, but only a little bit. There was stuff strewn…

Each individual has an identity in relation to other individuals, communities and most importantly the world. This identity is developed by how an individual views oneself and the world and in turn how the world sees them. An individual’s identity changes from the amount of power an individual has in relation to other individuals and groups. Through shaping your identity your power changes along with your relationship to others and the world. Notably some identities you’re born with race, gender…

Ah! I heard the excited screams of thousands of people. We all had one thing in common. We were waiting for my favorite artist to strut onto the stage wearing a pair of silver, glittery shoes with her short blonde hair and white sunglasses. Can you guess who we were about to see? Yes! We were at Soldier Field about to see Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour. On July 18th it was a sweltering 96° F with a dramatic heat index making it feel as if it was over 107° F. It had been raining on and…

I was nervous before the interview and I think it’s the reason the opening to my interview had a little bit of a rough start. I didn’t notice it at first until later in the interview, but after introducing each other and getting some of her contact information I jumped straight into the interview questions. Even though I had explained what the interview…

Violets Point of View Year: 1864 As I’m sitting here outside of my old family home I think about what led up to this moment. What led me up to this point? What brought me to the point where I killed my best friend, my only friend. Nate my best and only friend who has ever cared for me and the only person I have ever cared for. I think back to the moment I first met Nate. At the time we were 7 years old. We had quickly become best of friends over only a few months…

you grow up?” As just being a little kid, kids might say something unrealistic or may realistic. But when I was asked what I wanted to be I said a vet. I loved animals and with having pets at home it taught me the responsibility of taking care of animals. It was not until I learned what vets actually have to do and I had no intent of doing that to animals even if it was to help them. I have never had a strong stomach and would get grossed out by just seeing a little cut. As I got to second grade…

throat and start stating facts about me. It was extremely awkward at first because I’m telling random & personal things about myself to this boy who I spilled my tea earlier I barely know, but then he made it less unwieldy. I slowly opened up to him bit by bit – His voice and accent was just so comforting & shockingly amusing at the same time. Plus, he was so into my story about the most embarrassing moment at my high school in Grand Rapids. So this is basically what happened: Last year,…
