Despite its location, Dot’s Donut Shop was about to get famous. Little to very few people know of Hughesville, Nebraska or let alone heard of Dot’s Donut Shop. The little town of 879 people in central Nebraska was soon to be a town known worldwide but not necessarily for a good reason. It was the first day of Tom Johnson’s senior year. He hated being stuck in a small town with nothing but a gas station, and a rundown donut shop so as you imagine he was ready to get out of here and go to…

throat and start stating facts about me. It was extremely awkward at first because I’m telling random & personal things about myself to this boy who I spilled my tea earlier I barely know, but then he made it less unwieldy. I slowly opened up to him bit by bit – His voice and accent was just so comforting & shockingly amusing at the same time. Plus, he was so into my story about the most embarrassing moment at my high school in Grand Rapids. So this is basically what happened: Last year,…

A Night To Remember This was less of a night to remember, and more of a night that is etched into my brain, a night that I try so hard to forget. It never evades my memory, no matter how badly I wish it would. It caused me great pain and worry, but I will always remember it, because it was a sign that I wanted to get better. It was a sign that there was something more inside of me than just those terrible, awful things. This day was a priceless crystal vase slipping out of somebody 's clumsy,…

It was August of 2015, and I was excited to get to college. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I was ready to get out of my house and move a hundred miles away to live on my own. My only real worry was I wouldn’t be able to see my girlfriend, Ariel. Ariel is my girlfriend who is in high school. She’s a year younger than me, but 2 grades below. Her eyes are such a bright blue; They almost look fake at times. She is 5’7”, and fits under my arm perfectly. She has long, thick wavy blonde hair that…

coached from the previous basketball season. Terry was always a friendly and outgoing kind of person. Midway through the season, Terry started showing up late and even missing some practices. When he did show up to practices, to me, something seemed a bit off. Terry became less talkative and distant from his teammates. It was very uncharacteristic of him. I tried asking him how he was doing and if anything was bothering him. He denied anything was wrong. A couple weeks later Terry showed up to…

The Black Fedora’s original production of The Kris Cross profoundly exceeded my expectations. I entered the space filled with anxiety over what to expect from the experience, this was my first non-traditional theatre experience. However, I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the production from the minimalist set design to the actors who seemed extremely comfortable and confident in their work. This was the most fun I have had in quite some time. As soon as I entered the Black Fedora I was…

Shining Library Book Me and classmates were told that we had to do something nice for the school. It wasn’t just our grade, it was the whole middle school who had to something. There were tons of jobs to be done just inside the building. When it was nice out, some of the 8th graders would go out and do the things outside, while the rest of us stayed inside. My job was organizing the bookshelf in the library. Unless it was a short week or you were gone most of it, everyone had to do their job…

It all begins with a push of a button. The process is simple. Pick one of the 196 000 pokie machines in Australia sat idle, awaiting their next victim. Insert some coins into a slot and press that green button. Mindlessly stare, wholly and completely fixated as those icons spin around and around. Powerless to those flashing lights, to that symphony of celebratory sound effects- which are more often than not, praising the loss of yoyr hard- earned money. Only to do it all over again. To 23…

Traveling the world at a young age can be an exciting thing, but also be very nerve wracking. Imagine the teenage men in the 1960’s, sitting on a cargo plane with a bunch of others, some they knew and some they did not. They traveled across oceans to risk their lives and fight for their country. The entire plane remained silent because the only thing going through people’s minds was if they would be going home again or not. This is how Brucie Potter felt when he was on his way to Vietnam to…

However, her make-up seemed to be a little bit on the extreme side, but I do not believe this to be a major issue looking at the bigger picture. Third, how the candidate measured up to the others. We have interviewed around 100 candidates and in the end we decided that three were worth…
