Goosebumps

Music plays the body like an instrument and the brain makes music. Goosebumps happen through the brain. People might think that is happening on the skin but is the brain that is driving them. The brain does music. Technology this days helps the scientist take pictures of the brain in action of making music using an MRI scan…

time in my own head, I also have trouble with developing emotional intelligence and believing in myself. Interdependence feels like a dirty word to me. I rely so much on my independence that the thought of having to lean on someone else gives me goosebumps. I’d much rather do something completely on my own, with all the struggles that brings (even if it takes me three times as long as it would if I got the help of others), than ask for help or work with my peers. I’ve always been that kid to…

This concert took place at the University of Missouri St. Louis’s campus, in the Lee Theatre, on November 30th, 2016. This was a concert for students studying music at UMSL, in order to showcase their talents through performing chamber music. Majority of the audience appeared to be friends and family of the students performing, making the concert a bit more of a laid back feel. Each song was played by a different small group, sizes were anywhere from trios and quartets to all of the performers…

read that day and go to the empty room. I sat in there and I felt more alone then the previous day so I opened the book and began to read. When I had begun reading and realized in the quiet, empty room, my imagination took over. I was reading a Goosebumps book, I can’t remember which one exactly, but I remember feeling like I was a part of the story. I was no longer in that empty room, I was in the story. I finished the book by the time she came back and she asking me, “How was the book?” I…

I have always lived my life to the point where I could never be described with the words ‘midlife crisis’. I drove my first car at the age of two, trapezed at the age of seven, zip-lined at nine, and now at 18, I can say I’ve skydived. As cliché as it sounds, making the most out of life is ask I’ve really asked myself to do. Senior year was coming into a close, and me, being myself could not possibly let senior year pass me by as a simple toss of an overpriced cap and a few soppy hugs. At the…

Blood, sweat, tears and a whole lot of determination, from living a life of pain and misery and being given no chance at all in life, being called a ‘bum’, to getting one of the biggest chances of a lifetime that would never occur again. Rocky Balboa known as Sylvester Stallone is the definition of determination and an underdog story for the ages. Rocky Balboa had a hard life growing up - living in a small house, trying to make a living as a boxer. One fateful day he was given the opportunity…

toy at the park?" Christopher let his head fall like a wilted flower. "I think so..." he confessed. Mr. Milne groaned, turning to his wife. "I have to go get him," he said. Christopher's ears were scarlet from embarrassment and he still had goosebumps from the cold. Mrs. Milne placed a hand on her hip. "Alan, it's too dangerous for you to walk back, or even drive, for that matter." She bit her lip. Mr. Milne threw his hand in the air and leaned toward her. "Daphne, this bear isn't…

right in front of us with her camera.There was the beaming hot sun, tall oak trees and right in front of me was a small gross puddle of mud, making the air smell like a dumpster. I felt a shudder, gentle cold breeze, that blew against me, that made goosebumps on my arms and legs. This place was a prison to me. I glanced over at my dad, he already was unloading our things, the rumbling wheels of the cooler rolled against the brown soft dirt, leaving a tiny cloud of dust behind.…

Every year when summer and fall come around, Wisconsin campgrounds fill with families for annual trips, reunions, or spring-of-the-moment getaways. Preparation can be a huge hassle, packing the car to the brim, leaving just enough space for passengers, the dog, and a little bit of breathing room. When I attempt to make everything fit, it’s kind of like playing an exhausting game of Tetris, but it’s all worth it for that tranquil, beautiful, and unforgettable time I am yet to have. Upon arrival…
