Happy Birthday to You

America has went down the drain with political correctness and inclusivity, by taking away the ability to say, “Merry Christmas”, on any given holiday without being shunned for doing so.

homework, and freshman worried eyes. It was my mother’s birthday the day I first heard the news. October 1’st to be exact.

young people today have a harder time cheating on their boyfriends or girlfriends.” Are you kidding me!? A website that connects a bunch of teenagers with their hormones running makes it harder to cheat on significant others? For instance, most young men would have a big temptation if a cute blonde girl posted a cliché status like “I love fall! Cuddle weather is here!

My family and our really close friends, the Krafts, were going to Anna Maria Island with us. We go there for spring break every year. It wasn’t just spring break…

Birthdays are always super exciting and special in a person’s life. They tend to love the cakes, presents, parties, ice cream, and the general feeling of merriment with their family and friends. They might be getting older, their wish lists getting smaller, however, that does not imply that they wish to celebrate the day their life began to the fullest.

I looked at you in the eye, at my sister's sixth birthday, you looked back at me with a confused face, your eyes grew old, sad and frustrated. You wanted to remember, but your brain wouldn’t let you.

I know how painful and torturous having Alzheimer’s is, because I saw it unfold in front of me when I was younger. My parents died in a car crash a few days ago. “Hi grandma, how do you feel today? I left you food in the fridge. Have you eaten it?” I would say. “Who are you? Go away! I don’t know who you are” she would always yell shrilly. However, if I was lucky, I would be given a small nod.
