Keeping Up with the Kardashians

The four categories of attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief are often held internally and can only be measured when it has an impact on society through crime. It also faces a limitation when it comes to establishing why loitering rates went up. The social bond theory also cannot explain why people loitered more after the recession ended. The social bond theory and relative deprivation theory can explain the high crime, and the increasing drug trafficking, and prostitution in…

Sometimes communicating electronically is not the most appropriate. I believe that my manager could work a little bit better on at least trying to come up to her employees including myself for a direct face to face once in a while, rather than emailing us half of the time. The most important thing within an organization is to have an important group of leaders and followers, that love what they do regardless…

Each morning we wake up to a future that is about to happen but yet is out of reach by default, unpredictable by nature. Are we ever ready for what’s ahead? We try to keep up but are clumsy at best in being present with all that comes our way. A while back we buried a friend. He had been sick, but his death came sooner than expected. We were barely able to keep up with the harsh pace of his illness and still struggle with his passing. Around the same time, I found a little kitten on the street,…

Blacking in and out, confusion and fear filled my mind as I slowly woke up lying on my back between my four-wheeler and the cold ground. I was numb; my mind was racing “what just happened?” All in the matter of seconds. I hear a faint yelling of some sort as I close my eyes again. “Kylie!” I open my eyes; everyone around me was moving the four-wheeler from off top of me, and my step dad and his friend trying to wake me up. My eyes closed. It was a mid January morning in 2012; I was 15 years…

bankruptcy. Many families would usually build up debt and then declare bankruptcy. In 1980, more people declare bankruptcy than graduated from college. The reason for these rash bankruptcies are simply credit cards because credit card companies are bringing additional credit to the consumer. Consumers get credit cards either because you have to “pay now and pay later” or because of the low introductory rate. Credit card companies usually raise these rates up before the consumer pays off their…

This Fall Semester of 2016 has served as the first page to my experience at Pacific Lutheran University. Coming into the school year, I felt I had a lot going for me. I graduated with my Associates Degree at Pierce College and was fortunate enough to have a supportive family, and quality friends. I was very involved with music and felt I had purpose in school because I knew what I wanted to study. I felt like when I was exploring my path I lucked out and stumbled upon Psychology and Sociology.…

Keeping Up It’s tough growing up and it takes much perseverance to keep up with everybody. In Call of the Wild when Dave died, it took a toll on Buck, it took lots of perseverance to make sure he keeps up with the others. In contrast, Megan knew a boy who didn’t graduate and that made her realize that she probably will not graduate if she kept her grades like that, and it took lots of perseverance to keep up with everybody else. They both struggled to keep up and not fail, and they both…

as your first love. This story is particularly about that. 1996 The school bell rang loudly, bringing me back to the real world. My nose was stuck in a book and I tried to start reading again. "Hmm...look at her. Nerd." Someone grunted. I looked up and saw Jacob Stewart and his "henchmen" Joey Bradshaw and Carl Timms. They bullied me since preschool. I scowled and continued reading, trying to ignore them. "Freak," Jacob muttered. I already knew I was different. All the girls that were…

Have you ever stopped for a second to analyze your life? Many times when someone struggles, it is because of their outlook. Being negative about the obstacles that are faced in life is no way to get by. Taking a second to analyze, and possibly regroup, is never something that anyone should be ashamed of. I believe that with a positive outlook on life a person can do whatever they put their mind to. For the past few weeks, I have been going through an obstacle in life that has not been easy for…
