Good Times Bad Times

Time is one of the very few things every human on planet Earth has in common. Everyone has to deal with it whether they experience good times or bad. In James Schuyler 's "Hymn to Life," time is represented through many different things and in many different means. This poem describes and fully entangles both the good and the bad that time gives us here throughout our lives. Schuyler manages to offer up conflicting views on time throughout the duration of the poem, and because of this he creates…

Another friend of mine cares way too much about what other people think about her, and it has caused her to miss out on a lot of good opportunities she really would have enjoyed. For example, when we were in high school, we had an annual Talent Show. Every year, I joined the backstage crew because it was fun and I became friends with all the people who liked to join as well. This…

eternity I couldn't help not keeping track of the minutes. Tick-tock tick-tock the sound of a clock repeated in my head. Not a single whisper could be heard. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours, and the time to leave the class wasn't close. An eternity could be close to the time I felt I was in that class. Teachers have made me been bored before but never as much as this one. Couldn't speak, couldn't whisper, felt like we weren't even allowed to breath. First day in class and…

feel the need to be on the go all the time, there is always something going on in life. Although a child is always on the go, it’s not because the child has to be but chooses to be. Adults normally have little to no time with family, between work and other activities, but a child always has time for his/her family. Adults focus is more on what “strike the sense outweigh things which do not immediately strike it,” according to Bacon (424); although family time is more important than some things…

And while that is happening, there are some effects that can affect you in some positive and negative ways. When astronauts reach out of the force of gravity, they feel weightless and will…

accomplished something. He was thinking, but at the same time he was relaxed. That is one of the benefits of being bored. Boredom is good for us because our brains need to take a break from activity. Sometimes when people are at work or school, they might say they are tired. Maybe it’s because their brains are tired from maybe reading or writing. Our brains can be overworked with all of the activity that is going on around you. They need time to just stop, think and recharge. When we are…

Sports. Sex. Screen. My dad names these “three S’s” as the most common factors of distraction for mankind, and says that they tend to make people forget about the more significant things in life. Most specifically, today’s pop culture has made screen or television broadcasting so popular that most people cannot imagine living in a world where such things do not exist. As a matter of fact, media has not only become an accessible tool, but a habit and ritual in most peoples’ lives. In the midst of…

I was recently put on Satisfactory Academic Progress Completion for my completion rate of 58.10%. While I cannot deny that my completion rate was below the acceptance rate, it is due to a difficult time period in my life. I was conflicted about writing this appeal for the reason I told myself that I would not use what happened in the past as an excuse, but here I am a few credits short of graduating and writing this appeal to explain the situation that lead me to fall below the completion rate.…
