Greek Names Project is due tomorrow. Although the name makes it sound like there are only 100 essays to write, there are actually one-hundred eight, and I am on number eighty-five. Not only that but the rain outside is not helping. It is only making me want to quit and go to bed even more than I already do. I look around the room and take a deep breath. I do not have time to breathe. I am sort of in a time crunch. Yet I also know that if I do not take a moment to relax I will get nothing done.…

intensely watching my every move, and continuously bringing me food, they sat me down and confronted me on the issue at hand. They began with saying that some of my friends are concerned with my health and eating habits and asked how I was doing. At this point, I am in complete shock and infuriated that my so-called ‘best friends’ would disregard my feelings about the situation and tell my parents. I denied the whole thing and chalked it up to me just forgetting to eat a couple meals because of…

when on of the moms used to always thank me for watching her little son Elijah. She was so kind to me, she did not have to be kind. She was going through a lot, and she took her time to be kind and have conversations with me. I have not seen her for a long time, but I remember her appreciation.

Before explaining the setting of the interview for the ethnography, I must first introduce my friend Roger, who will be my main participant in this process. Roger and I first met at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg during my first semester and we soon became friends, due to the fact that the both of us loved critiquing movies. Although his major is in Anthropology, he stated that the Big Bang Theory was one of his favorite sitcoms. Despite the series based on the physics and associated…

Timeless themes are eternally relevant concepts in classic and contemporary literature that can be connected by everyone, regardless of their age, their lifestyle, or their time period. The theme on the importance of others occurs repeatedly over time in thousands of different kinds of literature. Especially now with the our world brimming with superficial…

you come across something-a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things-which you thought special and particular to you,” (Hector , in The History Boys, Alan Bennett) I personally love reading, for many reasons but the main reason is that it makes me forget about my problems. When I 've had a bad day and feel like my world is turning upside down, I take about half and hour go to my room, pick up a book and get lost in it. There is just no words to explain it.
