My very unlucky nose A freezing, icy winter was in the midst, the year was two thousand and ten I seven years of age. My cousin, Matthew was spending the night, so Matthew, Haley, and I decided to play a game. The game was getting in a box/tub, (I was small, skinny, and very flexible at the age of seven) and jumping out of it as fast as you could. I was the only one who could fit in the box so I was having a blast. I was pretty weak so I was the easiest to get out of the box, but when I did I…

newfound method of stress relief, a foolproof motivation booster. Whenever my day had been particularly droopy or whenever my energy was limp like wilted lettuce, I found my fingers yearning and reaching for my toes. I would close my eyes and breathe...breathe...breathe. With each inhale, I was engulfed in relief and with each exhale, my day would melt around me. Walls, doorframes, kitchen counters, dewy grass, grainy concrete--any and every surface became my yoga mat. I began to gravitate…

She hadn’t got her treatment yet, and she was struggling to breathe. The respiratory therapist was called and she came in. She was so disappointed her staff didn't give her the treatment she needed. After that my grandma got better and was able to leave and go home. This really impacted me, I want to be…

“Guillotine” by Jon Bellion is a song to listen to when feeling hopeless and lost in a world of thought. Despite the chorus being about a guillotine, which represents death by decapitation, Bellion’s reference to a guillotine is about himself losing control, and even though he does sometimes lose his head, the significant other in this song will still love him no matter what. Through the song “Guillotine” by Jon Bellion, Bellion portrays himself to be a trustworthy significant other by embracing…

has a two chambered heart. The respiratory tract in the three animals are all different. The shark has a set of gills which extracts oxygen from the the water that passes over them, the mouse has a set of lungs though which it breathes air, and the frog has lungs to breathe air but is also able to respire through their skin when swimming. The digestive system of the frog and shark follow the same digestive tract: Food enters the mouth, goes down the esophagus, to the stomach, small intestine,…

The modernist era of poetry usually carries the theme of disillusionment, hopelessness, and a generally depressing depiction of life. Louise Bogan’s “Night” takes on a different theme of hope and contentment, despite the irony of the title.

Despite being included as a modern poet…

So we decided to go up to Canada with the rest of the family, but our dad stayed and had to work. When we were on our way to Canada there was a…
