Barney & Friends

almost always an old family friend, priest, or father. They gain the trust of their prey, usually a young girl or boy, through gifts or saying they will babysit the kid. Then the adult starts to ask the kid to touch them in the special place, saying something along the lines of, “Don’t worry. This is a good touch.” The kid doesn’t realize it isn’t a good touch and continues. These are usually the face of a molester. But mine was the face of who I thought was my best friend. When I first met…

Homesickness remains an exceedingly real problem among first time college students, although several students tend to hide it. “Although international students also experienced homesickness and loneliness due to missing their family, friends, and home country, they reported higher levels of homesickness than their U.S. counterparts and that homesickness was likely to increase their adjustment problems in the new environment” (Baba and Hosoda). The whole point of traveling to a new country…

I’m a character in this story, but we can get to me later. I promise I won’t leave you to wonder forever. Two years ago, the first day of school and the first day I met her. We were 14 then. Skylar wasn 't what you would call popular, but she was friends with everyone. Or so it seemed. She had a loud personality, but somehow was never obnoxious. That’s what surprised me about her. If anything I was amazed. About a month into the school year everything seemed as…

how much it took to even think about her going through that once let alone twice. I didn 't know what I could do but be her friend. For my best friend, one of the only people I could trust and rely on during bd times. The only person who knows so much about me, more than anyone else. The person who could make me laugh even when it felt like i couldn’t. Even if me being her friend helped her only the tiniest bit while she was in the hospital makes it worth it a thousand times over. I’d try as…

Chapter 1- Introduction A book writer to be successful tries to limit his (based on a made-up idea) activity to the narrow edges/borders of an area or a limited circumference of his chosen place which, as a matter of fact, becomes his (based on a made-up idea) world. A novel is generally expected to be the presentation not only of men, their manners, mental activities and social matters including customs and traditions but also of the (related to where mountains, rivers, cities, etc., are…

A new genre of movies seems to have taken over the box office in the past couple of years. Romance Dramedies are a smashing hit because they can incorporate most things we Americans strive for or experience daily into one movie. Romance, laughter, a journey, some hardships, and connecting. A film released in 2015 defined as a romance dramedy, yet the directors decided to push the boundaries and make it bigger than a typical romance comedy. This movie was quickly glossed over and thrown to the…

In the midst of one of the biggest storms of their trip; cold, wet, hungry, and scared, were the prevailing feelings of the group, yet spirits remained high as it was set to be their last. It had been a long, hard journey, but even a tempest this ferocious could not dampen their morale. With their new lives set to begin so soon, nothing could get in their way now. … The sky as black as ink and the rain pouring in torrents, nineteen-year-old Nala, hunched over in the middle of the boat trying…

already taken. An old friend of mine introduced me a girl named Danielle the previous school year and she happened to be looking for a roommate as well. We texted and a few weeks later I was approved to move into the apartment with her. I did not really know her, but from the few times we have hung out she seemed like a really nice person. After move-in day, everything was really good in our apartment. She cooked for us, the apartment was kept clean, and we had the same circle of friends so…

In the ninth grade my best friend attempted suicide. The doctors have no idea how she survived. When she overdosed on hydrocodone and some of her father’s prescription medicines, it had caused severe intestinal bleeding. Nobody knows how she lived from that. I remember going to the hospital to see her when she was in her near death state of being. She looked as if somebody had took a knife, cut an incision in her, and just let her blood drain out from her limp body. I was afraid to hug her. I…

As infants were told to express our highlighted emotions and to show our talent to the world without hesitation, but as we grow older things change, were each put into the process of being molded into what society wants us to be and our ever step is judged and counted for. Fear and frustration fill our thoughts, second guessing everything we do because we don't want to be outcasts if we make any kind of mistake. Katherine's Point of View: ( I will switch the Points of Views but so I don't…
