The girls and I huddled together for our pep talk. A senior on our team, Topanga, wrote a short speech and read it to us. The genuine…

stay. Even the clothing is almost strictly binary. Only boys can wear black skates, but never white. Only girls can wear white or colored skates, but never black. In formal competition, you will almost never see a boy out of a black suit or black leggings, and you will almost never see a girl out of a white dress or skirt. Those white skates represented who I was supposed to be, who my parents wanted me to be, who I never was. That nice snow white never again looked as comforting as it did the…

Futurity I was shocked for a moment after I watched the show Futurity because I didn’t expect it as a musical show. My classmates who sat next me were also confused. In order to understand what the show is about, I found a brief summary from their website: “Two people try to imagine their way out of impossible circumstances in FUTURITY – an avant-Americana musical by indie band The Lisps.

Napoleon was seen strolling in the farmhouse garden with a pipe in his mouth–no, not even when the pigs took Mr. Jones's clothes out of the wardrobes and put them on, Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, rat catcher breeches, and leather leggings”(Orwell 135).

Clover is the first one to realize this, when she said “It was a pig walking on two legs”(Orwell 132). At first this wasn't not…

believing that it will decrease bullying, and save money. However, contrary to common belief, despite these views school uniforms are not beneficial for school. Many people are against schools requiring strict dress codes. They restrict things such as leggings for girls, tattoos, and for some schools, even specific hair lengths! The way people dress is one of the biggest ways to express individuality and having these restrictions do not allow them to do so, because everybody who has a uniform is…

Rather than doing my own individual research, I decided to speak to my friend Heliya about the Muslim religion as she had much knowledge and experience about the practice. I dragged my roommate Heliya along my journey to Irvine to the Islamic Center of Irvine, who is a practicing Persian Muslim today. Coming from a Persian-Armenian background I naturally relate to her culture and have similar ideas and values that I have grown up with. However, as a Christian-Armenian, the religion we each…
