Unstable, red, bumpy brick roads causing student bikers and drivers daily mayhem as they can feel every pot hole and dip in the street. Not to mention the horrendous condition of the sidewalks as well. The students of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln already have enough stress put on them to excel in classes, they should be given beautiful, safe, pot hole free sidewalks and streets to enjoy. One would think with the amount of tuition the students pay here, the university could at least…

Lego land 2009 It was July 9th 2009 my 8th birthday, and at the time my life was consumed by my obsession with Lego sets, even though I was known to rage when I couldn’t figure out a difficult part. We were visiting family in California and it just so happened that it was my birthday. And my parents surprised me with a day in Lego land. As we drive up to Lego Land, about every 500 feet there is a letter made out of Legos, W-E-L-C-O-M-E, it spells. After we got our ticket to park we found…

From Cardboard to Brick It was a cool night in October of 2011 when I was told that I was in a close race with a classmate for the number one spot in the class. She was beating me because her classes weighted more than mine, so I decided that year to do everything that was in my power to beat her to it. All it took me was one class and it was my strongest class that year. She got a grade below me and that was enough to beat her. But it was not until I was in 12th grade, a week before…

The Brick on My Leg Patience: (n) The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset. Patience seems to be a forgotten quality. Think about the last time you were impatient. Was it this morning while you were waiting for the stoplight to change from red to green? Or was it yesterday when you had to wait in line at Starbucks because the line was long? Some of us do not mind waiting in line the extra five minutes, while others obtain annoyance and begin…

As my selection for an urban park, I chose Toronto’s Evergreen Brick Works – a uniquely “urban” ecosystem located in the city’s core. Formerly Toronto’s chief brick manufacturing facility, Brick Works has since been converted into a wholly committed city park, devoted to the preservation of greenspace, integration of natural ecosystems into the urban environment and educational facilitation. Among the ecosystem services, Brickworks largely focuses on supporting and cultural values in its…

The Yellow Brick Road is the path that leads to Emerald City, the heart of Oz. This represented the financial golden standard that led the way to the political and financial center of Oz. The reason why I think the Yellow Brick Road was yellow is because yellow is a bright colour, which is most likely why it led to Emerald City, because it is also a very bright and beautiful city. The definition of gold standard is the best, most reliable, or most prestigious thing of its type. This makes sense…

talked about overcoming brick walls and achieving your dreams. Randy gave examples of him wanting to become a Disney Imagineer and going to the NFL. Me personally have not had major brick walls like him, but have had my share of brick walls. From overcoming deaths of close friends and family, to overcoming adversity in sports, I am always doing the best of my ability to achieve my goals. During his lecture, Randy said that throughout your life you would encounter brick walls. These walls are…

A house cannot be built without bricks as it needs the cement to hold the parts together. As well as this, it needs to be composed of a foundation to start building upon and an imagination to design both the interior and exterior of the house such as the windows and the floor design. Without these other essential materials included in the building of the house, it would merely be a pile of bricks with no structure and meaning. Henri Poincare uses this house as a metaphor for science. He…
