Childhood, that sound like a good thing right? Have you thought of what can happen during that time of being a kid and turning into an adult. Just imagine all the worst possible things that could happen and all of them happening all at once. That 's how i felt at a certain point in my life. I had a couple friends during school and of course they are awesome but most people know that you can only have one best friend. That pair of words “Best Friend”. When you think about it, it 's the person…

“Alright kids, we’re here!” Mom shouted happily as we drove into the extremely tight parking space. As soon as we stopped, everyone in the car rushed outside to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. I was here at Pololu valley with my mom, my dad, my brother, and my best friend, Christianne. I turned away from mom energetically taking pictures of everything and everyone to observe my not-so-new surroundings and to think about our reason for coming here. We had actually visited this…

I woke up one day and everything had changed. Upon waking and by night they were entirely different. I was twenty. An age already brimming to the top with questions, but the only one I could think of was who was she? It was 3:04 PM, when I first saw her, but it wasn’t quite like I could miss her, however, even through the crowds of people pushing against one another, she was staring straight at me, with a half-smirk that only added to the mystery. The other odd thing about her was that no one…

Thom Jones’s “A White Horse” is the story of a man, Ad Magic, who suffers from amnesia following epileptic episodes. He has managed to find his way to India and is completely unaware of who he is (29). This character is created by Thom Jones to portray the desire felt by most people at some point in their life to simply escape from themselves, from the realities of life, and to try and find some deeper meaning to what they have to go through and eventually find happiness. The story follows Ad…

In Honors Colloquium, I feel that what is working best is the way in which we are broken into groups. I feel that if it was attempted to teach the class as a whole and discuss as a whole not much would ever be covered. Mainly, due to not many people would participate and many would know that they could just brush off the class. However, in our groups, everything is more interactive and engaging. We are also expected and held to a standard of being prepared and ready to discuss reading in class,…

When it comes to reading, I am one to judge a book by its cover and to be honest, War by Sebastian Junger didn’t catch my eye nor did the blurb captivate me. Ordinarily, it’s not a book that I would pick up and choose to read. All I was thinking was ‘great, a book on war, this is going to be a snooze and be like a research book’ and especially as it focuses on the war that happened in Afghanistan, I just assumed it would talk about the strategies taking place in the war, statistics and why it…

In the digital age, Snapchat is an example of a new medium that has had a significant impact on society and technology. The immediacy of Snapchat created a new social platform for users to communicate, send pictures and even make video calls. Snapchat was created in 2011, with a ghost as their logo. In terms of photo sharing, this ghost symbol is based off the concept, “there, then gone”, but the app quickly became much more than just that (Drake, 1). The public’s desire for an application that…

Learning to read is a fun and engaging time period for children, however it can also be very complicated for them to pick up on. As children get to the age where they are developmentally ready to begin reading, they must begin with the basics. This is not something that they can learn with one sitting. Some children will pick up reading quicker than others. It is important to remember that children learn differently and excel at different rates. Just because a student who is developmentally…

Hey Em! There is a point to your piece. It’s sort of like a memoir about a trip. It shows your experiences and talks about your feelings. Those are valuable in memoirs. People appreciated when you open up to them. I would include some stories though. Maybe a conversation you have had with someone local. You were talking about cultural differences and that’s another point your memoir or memory (memoir is really a collection of memories) has. The way I see one has to explore a lot as a writer to…

I’ve always wanted to be an inventor long before I found Engineering. I wanted to be someone who made the coolest of things and made so many people happy. I dreamed big as a kid, always getting lost in my little world of imagination. Growing up has changed some things for me. I still aspire to be an Inventor of sorts, but I want to do it better through becoming a world class Engineer. A world Class engineer would be able to effectively make goals and stick to them to strengthen their effect; the…
