She did not want friends and family to think that she was struggling, this is where social media becomes an issue in everyday life. It helps put on a front “everyone presents an edited version of life on social media” (ESPN 6) and take away pain.

Wilson dropping back. They are doing a slant play. He throws it to my guy, Chris Matthews. I step in front of him and I intercept the ball! I saved the Super Bowl! We are the Super Bowl champions!

I got my friend, who was already familiar with the stock concept because he was in Mr. Barton’s Finance…

Michael Jordan poops on Lebron The ole debate. The debate that’ll ruin friendships, break hearts, and change your whole view on a person. Michael Jordan Vs. Lebron James. Michael would dominate Lebron if they played each other. Michael’s speed and mentality would leave Lebron in the dust. Lebron’s game is soft and he looks to flop. Today’s league is soft.
