A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned When I think of the penny, my mind is flooded with images of Mason jars, full of the copper coins, arranged neatly upon shelves. The phrase ‘a penny saved is a penny earned’ echoing in my ears. For more than two decades the debate to keep or eliminate the U.S. penny has been without end. One side is stating that it’s no longer needed and the costs to manufacture far exceeds its monetary value. The other states that it would cost consumers hundreds of millions more…

“I am gay,” Jonathan, my long time friend, whispered to me as I sat across from him eating my Chipotle burrito bowl. Many thoughts raced through my mind as I searched for the proper words to respond. I struggled not because his revelation changed my opinion towards him, but as the first person he confided in, I wanted to reassure him that this has not changed the love and the sense of belonging between us. We live in the “Bible Belt” of America, which holds strong conservative cultural and…

Justin Lahart says in his article, “McDonald’s Goes Hungry Amid Plenty” that consumers are beginning to gravitate to fast food where the quality is much better, and spending more money for it, causing chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill to flourish (Lahart C10). Unfortunately, no matter what McDonald’s may do, at the core they are still a fast food burger joint; and being the biggest one in the world means they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, but just…

It is pretty rare to see someone with the confidence to walk to the front of a line without an explanation or an apology. In fact, whenever anyone, including my friends or family, tries to cut the line in front of me or others, I get pretty heated about it. I was decently nervous about breaking this social norm because it is seen as very rude and it is not…

In addition, when a person remembers past experience he or she can anticipate or envision the future event. For example, when I make preparation for an…

When people think this they are not wrong, Hispanic food is a flavorful and many spices are used; the culture and its people’s customs have much to do with this. According to Grace Austin and Damian Johnson of Diversity Journal “the term Hispanic alludes to a person’s place of origin, referring to persons from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central and South America.” Since there are many…

meat to provide every single American with a tainted fast food hamburger -- was voluntarily recalled by Hudson Foods in August of 1997” (Schlosser 194). Even though this occurred about nineteen years ago, it is still a problem today. In the news, Chipotle has also been traced with E Coli and the meat has been recalled.
