“Great America, here I come,” I say groggily but excitedly as I wake up. Once I’m fully awake, I jump out of bed, say good morning to my mom, brush my teeth, and throw on my bathing suit with some clothes over. Grabbing my drawstring bag, I compile a list of things to bring. I start grabbing items from around the house, “Sunscreen: check, towel: check, phone: check, money: check,” I say in my head as I find them. And last but definitely not least, I can’t forget Scarlett and my’s map route of…

Emma pulled up to the small ranch that she had grown up in. Although she hadn't visited in years, it was exactly as she had remembered. The powder blue house with white shutters and a white door. The lush bushes circled the house. But now there was a for sale sign on the lawn, one that would be taken down tomorrow after the papers were signed. Emma got out of her car and and turned the key in the door for the first time in seven years. She creaked the door open. The house was dull and dark.…

He slammed me against the locker. Pain spread through my body like wildfire. “Give it to me or you’ll suffer more than this,” he gritted through his teeth. “I don’t have it,” I managed to get through. A punch to the stomach. So much for standing up to bullies. After thirty seconds or so in pain, I stood up, thrusted my hand into my pocket and shoved a $4 bill into his chest. “Next time, don’t try to be so brave,” he breathed. And he walked away clutching my money in his hand. Everybody knew that…

I remember seldom things in life. Maybe my horrible memory can be attributed to the thousands of Diet Coke I drank as a kid and their alleged nasty side effects to memory. Maybe it’s attributed to my tendency to focus on the minute details and not the whole picture.

I wish that this process would have happened when I felt like I was…

It had been a normal Friday for any 5th grader at Evans City Elementary School. The bell had rang signaling the end of recess and the start of a very long awaited for weekend. I had went home like always to be greeted by my dog who had been over joyed of the fact I was finally home. "Carly is on the phone wondering if you'd be interested in sleeping over tonight" my mother had called from the kitchen. "Can I talk to her?' I had asked taking the phone from her hands. After we had discussed…

The new age of celebrity worshipping shows the negative impact and positive impact on social media. There’s nothing wrong with showing love to your favorite actress or singer but when it gets to the point of obsession that’s when we as a society needs to change the mindsets of the young generation. People who are overly obsesses with a particular favorite celebrity of theirs can sometimes end up having depression or even anxiety. There’s something good about showing love to your favorite actress…

I realized that in order for me to start the next chapter in my life I have to quit “re-reading” the last one. Which is why I deleted all my social media accounts. I noticed myself putting more time into face book or Instagram then I did my relationship with you and my family and also my school work. I also knew that if I kept those accounts I would sooner or later ruin my relationship with you because it is way too much drama and also because the first sign of an unhealthy relationship is a…
