As Time Goes By

“The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot” by Brand New, relates to me personally because of a friendship I came across in high school. When I listen to this song, it brings me back to my teenage years, when I was a young girl longing for a relationship with my dream guy. This band was introduced to me by an English teacher from highschool whom I had the biggest crush on. I connect with this song because it reminds me of the relationship I had with this teacher. He stole my heart at first sight,…

smoothly, planning a week in advance for the upcoming study sessions. However, an aggravating cycle of planning/ “rain check”/ rescheduling will begin week one. It will start with “I have to work a double at the store,” and “I feel sick, maybe next time?”, but eventually the excuses will stop, as will the planning, and you will not be surprised- you will be tired of playing her game by then. My plan b’s became plan a’s because the likelihood of me flaking out on them was barely rivaled by the…

though Mademosielle Reisz often times offends others around her she becomes fond of Edna, and they become friends.

As the story continues Edna meets a young man named Robert Leburn, he is a man who throws himself at different woman each summer season who are usually married in a sort of mock to romance, and the summer that…

strong and never being upset. Bravery is standing up for yourself and even if your break down and open up at times, that makes you a stronger person than someone who bottles everything up. You are controlling how things go for yourself, which is one of the most courageous things you can do. Lucy’s suffering of bravery is a conquering element in the person she has become. She pushed through hard times but hid everything she truly felt, and that shows weakness. Although the cancer in her jaw was…

cast on. While Mr. Thorwald during the story he each time before bed and once early in the morning he would take stiff shots of liquor. Also two to three times he would strike a match while probably lying on the sofa or standing at the rear of the window, he stood at the window often sweeping his eyes from left to right. At one point he kept dipping low the rising as if he was doing an exercise, he restlessly roamed from room to room and at time he sweep his hand across his head. As for Sam, he…

It was on one Friday night in October, my parents’ anniversary, I was home alone reading all of the horrific comments over and over again that was on my Facebook timeline about me. It has been a month since my life went up in flames and took a turn for the worse, and I can honestly say I’m sick of everything and I can’t take it anymore. I decided to check my other social media accounts Twitter and Instagram to see if anything was being posted on those about me there because my notifications were…

“cybersecurity” considering that in March of 2015, there were then, 209,000 vacant “cybersecurity” jobs. Such strange numbers. I visited the “de-facto” technology “help wanted” website (Dice.com) just now, and noticed there are 79,056 openings at the time of this writing. Headed over to Monster.com and typed in “cyber” and found a few hundred more, but far less than 209,000 let alone the wondrous 1,000,000 mentioned by Forbes. Having been in the security arena for over two decades now, I have…

life time. Parents can try to mold their child to whomever they want them to be, but at the end of the different factors come into account and life ultimately runs its course. A perfect example of this is a child being sheltered their whole life, and when they graduate high school and go to college and are finally on their own. They see themselves changing and they learn things about themselves that they never knew before. I don't believe anybody is born any type of way. We change as time goes a…

Since I have a lot of spare time, I tried playing it alone. Some of the games were adventure games. Going on a journey to middle of nowhere was exciting. Others were fighting games. Press square to slice. Press X to jump. Five robots would come and I would slice them all. The big boss would then come and I would outmaneuver him and then kill him with a sky piercing technique. I felt I was the most skillful player playing the strongest character. After some time, my brother came home and asked…

I have a habit of wasting time watching videos when homework is supposed to be my priority. It happens when I’m home by myself, and I get bored. When I’m bored, I tend to think about what kind of food there is in the kitchen, and then I find myself in there looking for something to eat. When I find something to cook, I bring my laptop or iPad so I can listen to music while I make my food. Then I eat and watch videos. This routine also happens when I have homework to work on (I like working at a…
