From before the Progression Era and the “Roaring Twenties” to the “Disco Eighties” and beyond, the United States of America has seen a fair share of great epochs since its “birth” in 1776.

In addition, the 1950’s underwent the beginning of the meritorious Civil Rights Movement. Most…

We use energy for everything! Generating energy means converting energy from one form into another. For example, a popcorn machine…

of the emotions that always carry in oneself thought life. However, going thought tunes that I felt have always been with me regardless of changes in my life I found a couple that might reflect who I am very well. Those are Camisado by Panic at the Disco, and I’m Not Okay by My Chemical Romance.
