Cucumber

Moving boxes up and down three flights of stairs, rearranging the whole kitchen, dusting every inch of the basement, setting up storage, setting up the buffet; today had been an at home workout. My mom and I had been cleaning our house all day long, although I still felt full of energy. Although my mouth was still watering at the thought of a veggie burger loaded with avocado, sautéed onions, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, on a toasted hamburg roll after we finished. My mom on the other…

Growing up I remember my teachers preaching about how we need to take care of our environment. In order to reduce your carbon footprint, they would say “take shorter showers, shut the lights off, and instead of having your parents drive you to a friend’s house, walk.” I always listened to this advice, trying to be as green as I possibly could. Last year I watched an eye opening documentary about our current climate and environmental crisis; however, the documentary didn’t focus on how we drove,…

Have you ever been to a drug controlled foreign region? If yes, have you ever been in a corrupt police station in that region? Can you imagine the feeling you go through trying to explain yourself to such corrupted, barely speaking English, money hungry individuals? I did, with my other two buddies, Sal and Brice. It was supposed to be a great vacation, a cup empty from disappointment and drama, and filled with joy and laughter. But that wasn’t the case, at least for part of the trip. My…

Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Rapunzel, what do these things bring to mind? An old story that was told, a campfire story, or something that was heard along the way through the different people? No matter how it was heard, or where it was heard. Whether it was old or new, or even told by the young or the old. These stories that were heard were most likely fairy tales. They have been around for centuries and have evolved in many ways. These tales have made their way from B.C. to 2016…

Introduction The space hotel is named Caelum, which is the Latin term for space, universe, and heaven. This name represents the future of luxurious travel, taking humans into outer space on an amazing vacation. Not only is this an amazing chance to travel into space and live there for a week or two, but it is also a once in a life time opportunity. Caelum lets the people who have already traveled to all seven continents get the full experience, and travel to a place “out of this world”. This…

It is necessary to produce about one-third of the food that humans eat. No, it is not high fructose corn syrup, but pollination by honeybees. Brad Plumer of the Washington Post quotes, “The U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization estimates that ‘out of some 100 crop species, which 90% of food worldwide, 71 of these are bee pollinated.’ Around the World, these crops are worth at least $207 billion.” One fact even more bizarre is that honeybees are disappearing and no one seems to know for sure…

Thoughts about the Prom. Thoughts about school. Thoughts about the future. Thoughts about Sylvester and his unrelenting crush on Theodore. Too many thoughts that clung to his mind, and all Lewis wanted to do was rip his hair out. "You with me, Lewis?" Lewis tried out a few blinks before realizing Sylvester was staring at him with concern. With his eyes closed and a lazy smile on his face, Lewis gave a soft hum and nod. Double reassurance never failed. Whether Sylvester believed him or not, Lewis…
