A Little Bit

Across the NWSL, teams are struggling to adjust to Leah Galton, the English rookie who started the season late but since then has scored three goals and notched three assists, reinvigorating a struggling Sky Blue attack. The Hofstra grad is the second English player to be drafted into the NWSL from the college ranks and the combination of an English pedigree with the fitness and strength that comes with an NCAA athlete has proved lethal this yearfor both Galton and Rachel Daly, the St. John’s…

The everyday social norm that my friends and I were trying to violate simply had to do with the way that people act in a general retail store. Putting a little twist into just taking things from peoples carts, we instead would be walking by a person with a cart and purposely trip over their cart and dramatically fall to the ground. Also we would run into isles of pretty much anything that couldn’t break open. Generally just making a scene, something that you wouldn’t see on an every day basis.…

Seventh grade I simultaneously tapped my leg on the floor and my pencil to my desk. I looked around the room and examined all of my classmates. No one seemed as nervous as me. My teacher slid my test towards me and I felt my stomach drop as soon as I read the first couple of questions. I had no idea what any of the information was and I knew there was absolutely no way I was passing the test. What’s ridiculous is that even though I didn’t study, I felt bad for myself. “Are you okay?” my…

The book begins in a slow pace. It is first introduced by John, the boy who is the main character. He describes how he feels about school, and gives a little bit of background information about himself. He is not the smart one comparison of him and Lorraine, the girl who is the second main character. Lorraine makes really good grades, and John just does not care. They both hang out together, and do normal childish things for example, prank calls, with their friends Dennis, and Norton who acted…

I hear myself huffing and puffing as Lena and I run away from the terrifying loud cops chasing after us for stealing some food. I start to slow down exhausted but what keeps me going is the terrifying look on my poor sister's face, so I have no choice but to keep going. The police are getting closer and I am thinking thank god they didn't bring the dogs. I grab Lena´s hand and I pull her into an alley that is completely dark hoping to lose the police. We lean against a wall covering our mouths…

Unlike number ten from All Diva Media’s ‘Top 10 Feminist Stereotypes’, I am not a man hater – in fact, I was the only girl allowed to play with the boys as I was related to their ‘leader’. When I was little, my cousin, who was a grade older than me, was sort of like the leader of the few boys we had our split class. I never realized that I was being treated differently from all the other girls in my class. My classmates seemed to simply accepted the fact that I was the only girl allowed to play…

poor, emotionally unstable parents who were permissive and suffered substance abuse problems, but I achieved a lot in my short nineteen years. Yes, my parents allowed me do whatever I had in mind; Rules weren’t a real thing and I was expected of very little in the household and in school. Most children then would think my parents were the ‘cool parents’, since I had no rules and punishment for my actions was nonexistent. Believe it or not, I actually often found myself being/feeling alone a lot…

So there have been a few events in my life that have changed my view on the world, affected my mental and emotional health, and made me rethink who I am. A lot of those revolve around how gay I am, hence my title. Of course that’s just one aspect of who I am, so not everything that’s happened to me has to do with that. A lot, but not everything. At least not completely. The summer between 8th and 9th grade, I missed my two best friends a lot. Of course I missed all my friends, but it felt…

“I’m very passionate about the medical field and I’m going to be an Oncologist.” I spent a millisecond wondering if I had hurt my chances by uttering a run-on sentence. “I’m very excited about becoming an asset to you and your team!” Feeling a little more confident about that pre-rehearsed phrase, I paused to let her know that I was finished. I answered the next few questions with some strange unforeseen eruption of confidence that hadn’t previously been present. “Why do you want to…

the office trailer at the stone yard, to save money monthly. I was told during my meeting that I would be the supervisor over Christa and Mary but was not to say anything yet but to start streamlining processes for SOT to roll into SFS. This was a little hard to do when I was unable to explain that I was their supervisor and was going to make changes to the current way tickets, logs etc… were handled. I was also told that we had to get rid of one of the girls and it was…
