I Know What You Did Last Summer

In high school did you really care? Freshmen year English, is different teachers, the boring writing assignments that seem pointless, you don’t really care. Webster County High school isn’t like most high schools. We do things a lot differently! Some students don’t even do their assignments especially not their English homework. I was different, I loved English and I remember Tammy Rich making me into the teacher’s pet. It was the first week back from summer back and she made the entire class…

course the first time I played agar.io, it was difficult to play because I didn’t know what to do. I kept playing until I got used just to it and that’s when I noticed that I was really into this game. I got home and I went straight to my computer and started playing agar.io, at that time I was pretty good at the game because this game wasn’t that popular yet so it was easy to get to first place. Summer came and I could play agar.io, because I had to go on some vacations and then I started…

A secret I have kept for a long time is that I love rock music and it is something so secretive that I have to listen to it in my room which is the only place I can get some privacy. I put this song on the fullest volume when I listen to it and sometimes my siblings shout at me to turn it off but I never listen. The reason why I don't tell people is because they are the ones who are quick to assume the type of music that I listen to and they don’t even bother to ask me. Just because I gravitate…

family, and has good friends. His life is simple but satisfying. It’s Summer, and Ken and Dan promised each other that they were going to hang out as soon as Summer started. On the second day of Summer, Ken finds out that his soccer game has been canceled when his mom told him this morning during breakfast. “If that's true, then could I walk over to Dan’s house before lunch?” Ken asks. “A twelve-year-old walking that far you must be crazy!” Ken’s mom replies. “Come on, it’s just around the…

Before I begin my story, let me tell you a little bit about me. I’m 23 years old, I have two siblings and come from a very large family. This will hopefully be my last year of school before I start applying to a credential program. There are so many things I could talk about but I am going to focus on some of the important milestones and hardships that I have come across over the years. This is a story about certain parts of my life and how I found my way to Cal State Channel Islands. I grew up…

event that happened to her that year. Similarly, I believe we are all searching for acceptance and approval from our peers, and in particular, those we respect. This can be dangerous, when society’s rules are so well enforced that one is afraid to do anything but conform. One of the most obvious examples of this is college. Every young adult must make a choice on whether to further his education or not, and many are heavily pressured towards college. I believe each individual should be able to…

and 5, when Gandalf had just asked Bilbo about adventuring, Bilbo said, “We [Hobbits] are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. … I can’t think what anybody sees in them,...We do“Ding Dong! Ding Dong!” Ryan lifted her head groggily as she noticed her twin sister, Camryn, sprinting out of their room in her black and blue leather denim jacket. What in the world is she doing in my clothes?

Suspenseful Summer Day It’s like you’re just staring at a picture, but instead of it being on photo-paper it’s taking place right in front of you. You almost feel like a ghost in a stand still because all you could do is look. Your ears are turned off for a moment then switches back on as you fade from the blackout. That’s how anxiety feels, but not every moment of it is something bad because it could be a sign of change for the better. I remember this day starting off like any other…

of my favorite books for a long time, I started reading it, since the first book was halfway through being published. This books holds suspense, anger, sadness, and great action. It’s a very interesting story, showing the struggles of school, and relationships, and just how dangerous life is - at Hogwarts of course. The author has spent hours upon hours, setting up the plot, writing it, adding more and more detail, and it appeals to so many different emotions, I almost broke my laptop once or…

archived as another historical event that had occurred decades before my existence. I trudged through the first couple chapters of the book constantly having the urge to put it down, tired of the overwhelming details of Oklahoma’s corn that “fought the wind with its weakened leaves” (Steinbeck 2) and Tom Joad’s journey back home after four years in prison. The point where I met each member of the Joad family was where I began to give the book my full attention. The way Steinbeck introduces the…
