Laugh track

I’m not kidding. Every morning I cycled a forty-minute journey to school and showered in the empty girls’ bathroom near our squash court. On that fateful September morning, after showering, I went out to fill in my water bottle. Something unusual happened the moment I came back. As I stepped into the bathroom, my peripheral vision detected an unknown figure scurried off from the locker area into one of the shower cubicles and slammed the door shut. The next minute I noticed that my sport bra,…

debating these bills, the leaders generally do a good job of keeping everyone on track. As the meetings draws on people like to make a wise crack here and there or go off on a tangent which our Speaker often sternly ends. She is effective in keeping order and making sure we are not wasting the legislative body or the student’s time. Nevertheless everyone enjoys what they do and we still manage to have a few good laughs along the way like when the Residence Hall Association announces they got…

What makes you rich in life? Is it money, or clothes? Is it how many people love you, or how many times you laugh during the day? The song "Royals" by Lorde was released as a debut single on June 3, 2013, later winning a Grammy for "Song of the Year", along with many other accomplishments. Although the songs title may be misleading, Lorde wrote this song to express that she is not very wealthy, but it takes more than that to be admired and looked up to by people. Lorde recognizes other…

She was our reporter for the term. Emily is a very organized person. She is constantly making notes and keeping track of the group’s work; making sure that every idea we say is down on paper (Harris and Sherblom, 2010, p. 46). She does not need the individual role of being the recorder to jot things down; she does it herself. Throughout this term, Emily was more on…

Frozen Blooded Murder Insanity is defined as being in the state of mental illness, madness, or lacking the ability to fully understand right from wrong. When used in the courtroom, many defendants and criminals plead not guilty by reason of insanity, which is often misused, making it hard to differentiate the truly innocent ones, and the real criminals. Roald Dahl’s short story, “Lamb to the Slaughter” is a great representation of the insanity plea. The main character Mary Maloney kills her…

An epigraph from Dante Alighieri’s Inferno starts off the poem by T.S. Eliot known as “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” In Italian the word inferno literally translates to hell. Thus, Inferno is an all too fitting title for the well known work of literature, especially when one takes into consideration that it occurs in the multi-layered and multi-faceted world of Hell. Eliot’s decision to use a section of Dante’s Inferno for his poem’s epigraph, not only leads the reader to believe that…

After each book I read I usually learn a valuable lesson. One of the books that taught me a valuable lesson is “Buck” by M. K. Asante. This book taught me the true meaning of friendship, and how powerful love can be. Although the whole book taught me meaningful things, chapters thirty-three through chapter thirty-five spoke to me the most. In these chapters Asante feels numerous emotions all at once about his mother, school, and life overall. In chapter thirty-three Malo’s mother is in the…

allegory of the boogieman and a myriad of sound clips to present an embedded, but clear message on police brutality and the experiences of black people in the United States of America. Though the message of the song is entrenched in heavy themes, the track is upbeat and laced with funky seventies guitar riffs and groovy bass lines. It is so groove-able, that upon first listen one might not even catch some of the themes being laid out. The clear sound of a police siren at 2:49 is what alerted my…

structure swings his rifle in the Courser’s direction, preparing to fire, but X6-88 is faster. With three flashes of blue, the Raider burns to ashes. Another Raider, upon hearing the commotion, is quick to fire at the duo. Rose stops him dead in his tracks with her 10 mm. He continues on while Rose collects anything of value off the dead Raiders. Another boat-turned-home harbors a handful of enemies that he, along with his partner, dispatch with ease. Her precision is deadly, like that of a…
