To be honest, writing this paper felt a little like writing an eulogy. I often found myself frustratedly typing extra hard on the keyboard telling myself that I will never write another paper and this is the last long paper I will write because I am not taking anymore English classes. Of course, I quickly overcame my laziness and kept writing because I want to be successful and a major key to success is to being able to write.

just like the rest of us but in the last minute before the ball drops they eat 12 grapes. I found this very interesting each grape represents one month of the year. They do this for their New Year’s resolution. On Easter they just eat and go to church. They don’t believe in the Easter bunny or searching to eggs and candy.
