Introduction I saw Radford University’s production of Junie B. in Jingle bells, Batman smells on Saturday, December 3rd. Junie B. was a popular children’s book by Barbara Parks. Her books have sold over 60 million copies in North America alone and the series was on the New York Times bestseller list for 180 weeks. Parks passed away on Friday, November 15th, 2013. This play was adapted from Park’s 25th book by Allison Gregory and was debuted on November 15th, 2009 and ran until December 27, 2009…

It is the final days in the senior week. The school has set up a stage on Foss Hill and invited four alumni bands to come and perform. It is almost like a small-scale version of Spring Fling, and therefore, many Wesleyan students decide to savor this event as it can be their last chance to do drugs with their college buddies. Jin and Xavier, of course, are ones of these students. Xavier manages to get themselves two doses of magic mushrooms, which are in high demand at the time, so he can't…

On Monday, November 13th, 2017 I attended the Steel Band concert in the Fine Arts Recital Hall directed by Dr. Scott Harris. I formally had never attended a concert of this kind. When I thought of a steel band before I would think of just tubas and trumpets, I never thought it would be a band of Caribbean type steel drums. From the very beginning I was greeted with many interesting details which presently surprised me. Overall Western Kentucky University’s Steel Band concert was a very…

A situation where I experienced all six stages of Brommel’s Stages of the Conflictual Process is with an ex-boyfriend of two years. In the beginning of our dating process he had an ex-girlfriend that he still had feelings for which influenced him to stay in contact with her without my knowledge. Four months in he disappeared on me and cut all communication off with me. I then discovered that it was due to him returning to dating his ex-girlfriend. This made me livid. But after two weeks he…

Excitement came through as we waited for September 26, 2015 to be near. A friend and I had bought tickets several months earlier for the Ariana Grande Concert at the Barclay Center, and it was the most anticipated event we had at that time. When we arrived at the location, there was an immediate thrill of excitement in the air. We waited in line with other individuals that were also planning on attending the concert, and we all heard the screaming and excited cries of other people near my friend…

The theater buzzes with energy and excitement, magic flowing throughout the room for the first time in five years as Eddie Redmayne appears on the silver screen. The crowd roars to life as four men from Baltimore take the stage, a sight I have waited to see so long that it nearly brings me to tears. The world of the Norse Gods springs to life as I join the teenage demigod Magnus Chase on another death-defying adventure. A sea of blue and gold overtakes Rider Stadium on a beautiful June day, and…

I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I knew I was next, but my demons caused me to doubt myself. As I heard my name called, I slowly rose from my seat, and looked around me, and stole a glance at my brother. The small smile he gave me filled me with the courage I needed to approach the microphone. As I looked over the podium, I scanned the crowd. Everyone’s eyes were on me and I could hear my heart pounding in my ear, which caused my thoughts to escape me. All I could think about was “how did I…

Statement / College Essay “Thump! Thump!” It felt like my heart was about to pop out my chest. I hadn’t perform in my high school yet, so this was my first time. I heard how loud the crowd was when the group before us performed. As we pre-set on stage, I took a peek into the audience. My jaw would’ve dropped to the floor if it could. The entire auditorium from top to bottom was filled with screaming and excited teenagers. That was the entire school out there. I didn’t realize how big the school…

After an intermission that was probably only ten minutes but felt like an eternity, the lights at the Fillmore Theater in Miami Beach dimmed and the crowd erupted into deafening cheers and whistles as “The Flood Tour” started. The anticipation for the moment everyone in the audience had been waiting for since they bought their ticket is nearly palpable. Finally, the drummer starts, setting the rhythm, followed by the guitarist and bassist until lastly the vocalist starts singing and the fans…

“Yes!” I wumbled (whisper/ mumbled) to thin air. I had waited in line for a least half an hour waiting to meet an author my friends, Melanie and Emma had introduced me to. Finally, there was only two people in line and one of them was me. Still wumbling I said, “Three, two, one,” silently begging for a meeting with this author I had heard so much about. I couldn’t wait to get my book signed by Adam Gidwitz the author of A Tale Dark And Grim, In A Glass Grimmly, The Grimm Conclusion, and his…
