it’s said to cause acne; although, I don’t really care for those statements about how I look, because if you really want to know someone or make good friends, you look past looks, and you judge people by personality. Wouldn’t it be nice if the whole world was like that? That is the truth, the whole truth, the unvanquished truth is how Freak would say it. This is similar to the ways of how the characters in the book “Freak The Mighty” are most commonly judged, such as Max, the main character.…

Imagine, step out the front door and people stare. You keep walking all around you gasps. Whispers, people saying your ugly, brute, grotesque.

What if one day the internet ceased to exist? In a society that is becoming increasingly dependent on the internet and affiliated technologies, such a scenario may seem like the end of the world. Imagine people without their smartphones, tablets, or computers. With a remarkable lack of face to face interaction and landline phones, communication would plummet to an all-time low. Millions of people would be out of jobs, and millions more would not know how to get to theirs. Many would lose access…

Music has the ability to change a life, and growing up my father exposed me to all sorts of albums as we blasted them in our garage till late in the night. This period of my life showed me how to appreciate any song or album i had landed upon, and to bask in how well an artist could make all these sounds come together in one piece, even if the music wasn't what i was used to. When i took some time to listen to The fourth and newest album, “Starboy.” Immediately after I finished the album I…

Dim lights from the hallway protruded into my bedroom, and an eerie silence echoed through the crevices of my house as I imprinted my head deep into my sweaty palms.

It is one of the great things about being a little kid, you do not know any better than to dream to be a superhero. As they get older,…

differently than I did. The concept of “world peace” had obviously appealed to me, but I had never really thought about the means of which worldwide peace could be attained. It had always seemed like someone else’s problem, as if my blind support of this intangible concept was enough to make me a decent person. I realize now that my blind support of an idea that I didn’t fully understand only increased my ignorance. Awful things are occurring every day, around the world. Wars rage on and…
