Following this, my friend and I had a conversation about why you have to clean eggs before you crack them. It went something like this: “Tell me what I should be worried about. Salmonella? Poop?” she said. “Well, chickens only have one hole that everything comes out of, so…” “Wait, what? Chickens only have one hole?” She stopped cooking and looks at me, incredulous. “Yup. The vent. Just one hole for eggs and for poop.” Her husband enters the room, and she questions loudly, “Hey, did you know…

Green Shines The smell of freshly cut grass made the tiny hairs on my neck stand up. It was a Monday. I. Hate. Mondays. The sunrise from my window wasn’t making things any better. I didn’t want to get up. So I didn’t. It’s not like my mother cared much anyway. She’s so fearful she barely wants me going to school, outside, or anywhere. That’s my mother for you. She never knew when to stop trying to protect me or how old I actually had become, because she still guarded me like a lion to its kill.…

“What college are you attending this fall?” “Do you have an idea what you’re majoring in?” Questions that almost every senior in high school came across; by teachers, other students, and even their family members. As graduation gets closer that’s when it starts to all become real, I applied for COD and realized that this is when I need to find the path that will lead me to a career I will want to do for the rest of my life. The reason I am going to college is to get the education and…

I have always tried to live my life without regrets, so this assignment was kind of hard for me. I had to sit down and really think about what it is that I would want to tell my younger self. Then it finally hit me, one thing I would tell myself as a child is to take more opportunities that come my way. Not saying that we should take every opportunity, but to enjoy life a little more when we are given the chance to. I would explain to my younger self that we may not realize it now but we have…

This is Where We Live is a play by the State Theatre company and is written by Vivienne Walshe. It follows the stories of Chris and Chloe, two teenagers stuck in a remote rural town in Australia. This essay will discuss the themes, issues and characters from the play and how it reflects Australian Society as well as having personal connections to myself. The issues in the text were pressure from family as Chris’s dad is putting pressure on him to do well in school and in life. For example,…

It 's easy for me to work hard if the if the work is easy to do. All throughout my high school sports career I have set myself up to fail. In track, football, and wrestling. For track, I would always focus on my strength and think that that would be the key factor determining how far I could throw. So I would always try to find time to get into the weight room and build up my strength. In practice, my coach would always try to help me with my form but I never listened to him because it wouldn’t…

As I am getting closer to graduation, I was frequently being asked from friends and families “What’s your plan after graduation?”, if I was asked about this question few years ago, I would feel helpless and didn’t have the confidence. Before college, I had no control over my life because I was always hoping that I can follow others. However, four years of undergraduate at UB changed me, I have developed my confidence and independent personality. As now, I am very confident to said that I want to…

At first, I wasn’t sure what I was going to end up doing with my life. I was lost, and afraid that I would never amount to anything. But as of today, I have found my purpose in life. Using my exceptional math skills, I plan on starting my own accounting business. Math is something I enjoy; I can’t remember a time when I struggled with a problem. It would bring me great joy to get paid for doing what I love. Until I get to where I want to be in life, there are some goals I must achieve. My…

There are so many people want themselves to achieve their goals, because everyone has their own dreams. If they wants to wish their dreams come true such as athletes want be win every games they play to enter in the championship, good writers always want to write a book and get publish their own book on top level, intelligent students always want to be a doctors or engineers. No one can achieve their goals and dreams right away, because of the reality. Nowadays we all have so many distances…

“Friendship, I suppose, comes at a price” Robert Louis Stevenson, Big World The road rushes past me as I stare down at the never-ending highway lines, listening to the Volkswagen’s engine threshing away behind us. Never thought that I’d be doing something that I’ll regret for the rest of my life, but here I am, a whole milestone away from my family, speeding down the highway before the sun rises, and as the sky turns a soft blue. I see the sun breaking the horizon as it shines its warmth down…
