The alarm clock screeches, sounding the end of yet another short night. Internal protests eventually subside as the millions of American teens roll out of bed against all of our instincts with one thought on our minds: I want more sleep. On the bus that thought consumes us until we lean against the window and sleep regardless of the bumps that crack our skulls against the window. In school, that thought pesters us, urging us to close out eyes for just a minute. As a student I often find myself…

The Masque of The Red Death The Masque of The Red Death By Edgar Allan Poe is a take from the disease that ravaged Europe in the 14th century.

The setting of The Masque of Red Death can be depicted as dark, and ravaged by death. “After several months of seclusion, the…

A school day initially starts around seven or eight in the morning and ends around two or three in the afternoon (National Sleep Foundation, 2017). That is an eight-hour period of learning, with a small break for class changes and lunch. Homework is also provided to students to allow them to practice what they have learned. It is understandable that teenagers are going to be tired when the school day has been completed. Teenagers need approximately eight to ten hours of sleep, and with waking up…

Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm next to my bed sounded. Looking up, the clock read 6:00. Time to wake up. Time to save the world. I might not look like much. Average height, average build, and an unmemorable face. None of that matters in the Matrix though. In the Matrix, you can be anything. In the Matrix, I am the most elite hacker in the world. Hacking isn 't like what it used to be. Used to be AI sat there covered in their ice and all you had to do was run a program to break through without…

I couldn't wrap my mind around it. I arrived back at the house to see my other two friends lying in bed. I joined them, and asked, the repeating question of the night. “Where is he?”. I was wide awake from 1 A.M. to 4 A.M. when the worst alarm clock ever sounds. The sound of “get up, the police are here to ask a couple questions.” My heart was racing with fear, anxiety, and panic. I was greeted to Officers of the SJPD, names of Harp and Smith, Harp was a younger man, middle 20’s, and played…

When you wake up in the morning what is the first sound you hear? Is it an alarm clock, someone saying good morning, the fan humming or the birds singing outside? Now imagine if that noise was gone along with every other noise you hear as well. People take for granted the abilities they have, sadly there is a group of people who do not have this ability. Most people are unaware of the amount of people who are deaf in the United States. “In the United States, approximately 1,000,000 people (0.38%…
