The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge. Luckily, after looking around for a few seconds, I spotted my best friend,…

Quinn and Aerwyna exited the tent as they saw many girls running around in panic. "Why is everyone so frantic?" Quinn asked. Aerwyna laughed, "We may pledge to reject men, but we want to look good for a hottie like Apollo." "A 'hottie' like Apollo?" Aerwyna instantly turned bright red. "Not my own words!" Quinn chuckled, but stopped herself. Don't get too attached, Quinn, your stay is temporary. She just needed to figure it out. It was not going to be easy. At least Quinn didn't think so.…

Are Blondes as Dumb as You Think We Are? In the start of my freshman year of high school in August of 2012 I was stereotyped for being a dumb, blonde cheerleader. Being a cheerleader most people think we are unintelligent people that just to wave our arms around and to look pretty. We are much more than that. Being a high school cheerleader we went above and beyond to make our teams feel special. We did everything from individual spirit posters to hanging up decorations around the school to…

Bikini season is often used in marketing weight loss products around the summer season. In this Crystal Light video advertisement, the concept of bikini season is used to polarize the two females. One blonde female who is concerned about looking attractive in her summer wear, and the brunette who does not care to engage in weight loss practices as she believes her work ties her down so much she will never get the chance to put on a bikini, therefore rendering it pointless to consumer Crystal…

Try to imagine a scenario in which you would be asked to describe something without using any identifying labels. As humans, we rely on language in order to make sense of the various things in our lives. Whether it is trying to describe the natural scenery around you or the woman you interacted with in the library earlier in the day. It probably would not be easy to leave out most labels and still get your point across. We need to include some adjectives to effectively describe the things around…

"CAPTAIN! INTRUDER ALERT" England looked up from inside his cabin as one of his crewmates shouted for him. It was probably one of Spain's dirty tricks. The green eyed country grabbed his sword and stalked outside, hoping to scare the shit out of the intruder. America’s eyes widened significantly as his eyes met familiar green ones. “England? Iggy, what the hell, man? What the fuck are you WEARING, bro? AND WHY DON’T YOU HAVE A SHIRT?!” The younger country yelped, waving his arms wildly at the…

James Salvatore was born in 1935 and raised in Victoria, Australia with his two parents and seven younger brothers and sisters. After his parents died in 1944 James and his siblings moved to Stewart Island, New Zealand with their great grandmother named Nanny. A year had passed, being 1945, and James took on the responsibility at fifteen years old to care for his younger brothers and sisters and his great grandmother. In Stewart Island all of what was left of the Salvatore family lived in a…

Aster An infinite volume of the sky takes up the heavens, and it fills up our world with stars. There are more than just stars, nevertheless there will always be wishful dreams. Space is the home of beautiful mysteries, planets, energy, dark matter, gliding meteors, and glimmering auroras. Up there, each and every form of matter has a purpose. The size of that purpose can be small or grand, but each one is crucial. From here, gravity can weigh it downward, but space is a mystery; it’s…

Four years of College, a Degree in English Literature, and five years later what had it gotten him? A debt that wouldn't be paid off until retirement, enough Publisher's rejection slips to wallpaper his two bedroom apartment with twice-over, and a job as a reporter on a run-down, inconsequential suburban newspaper that barely provided enough for food and rent, let alone to treat his girlfriend, Olivia, the most positive aspect of his life, as much as he wished. To say that Kyle Lowry wasn't on…

“I’ll do whatever you say from now on, please.” Robbie knew the teenage girl has a crush on him. He softened his stance. “You dove into the ocean without telling me, Yasmin. We were twenty miles out. Ever seen a teenage girl bitten in half by a Great White?” Yasmin joked, “Yes, in that movie that comes on at one in the morning, Jaws.” Everybody laughed. Robbie was not amused, “Yeah, the Stephen Spielberg movie Jaws… Remember the scene when she was eaten, that could have been you.” Yasmin hugs…
