Let's All Go to the Lobby

afloat, especially in the presence of her children. (Insert another sentence.) Going Up occurs in an elevator, hence the name, but the title can refer to more than just the name.. It could also be referring to Ms. Howell going up, as in death but let’s get to…

We all know this movie and we see it every day. It’s become another statistic, another kid hit by a drunk driver or man committing suicide with a bottle of bourbon. We see it so often that we tune it out like your father or mother telling you to take out the trash. It’s a franchise movie put out every quarter, and boy just look at those numbers grow.…

" She said exited. "Lucas!?!?! That smart kid in band!" I shouted out starting to walk towards Josie. "Yeah apparently he works at the nearby Bar!" Josie said as we started walking to the dorms. "What! That's awesome!! What are you waiting for let's go!!!" I shouted running towards the dorm hearing Josie sigh as she started running after me. We reached the dorms…

into situations where a person's life is at stake and the wrong move could injure or kill someone. While some may argue that a person could simply dial 911 and the problem is over. However, if the situation calls for immediate action, something could go wrong in the time it takes for reinforcements to arrive. But if a person attempts to help a victim, they could end up worsening the scenario. So now, they are thrown into this cycle of “What do I do?”. If they do nothing, they’ll be charged…

“You’re fired.” Gee, thanks.Way to let me down easy. Wait, did you think I said that out loud? You don’t think I’m that dumb, right? Of course you don’t, we’re best friends here. After all, I took the precious time out of my day to write you a story, and you took the precious time out of your day to read it, so we’re all on the same page here (no pun intended). Nancy, my boss, stares at me with this blank look on her face. What, do you expect me to say something? I just lost my job that I went…

buy candy with just one penny, a newspaper with two, or a shave with only a few more than that. Now, you can’t buy anything at all with a single penny. At least sixty-six percent of pennies are not circulated. Compare that to quarters, which are being circulated at a rate of eighty-eight percent (“US News & World Report”). The truth is; inflation has rendered pennies all but useless. The economic effects would not be catastrophic if the penny was removed from the U.S. economy, that has been…

“This is it,” Seth said. “That’s him, the guy who was with Kayla, she’s got to be around here somewhere. She was frolicking about the entire lobby area for most of the time we all stood in line.” A minute past, but the girl was not seen in the video. Then Seth showed up. He got in line behind the gentleman whilst holding a case of beer. He could be seen beginning to look around in the black and white recording, then his head stopped turning and he stared seemingly amused over something. Still…

Around the world the United States of America is known to be the home of the free, then how is it that the United States of America is also home to a fifth of the world’s prison population which is the highest in the world, and that number is only continuing to grow. Many Americans know that there are many issues associated with having “2,220,300” (Kaeble, Glaze 2) prisoners in the United States, but they fail to comprehend why that number is so high. Americans are consistently finding their…

game and making mix tapes of you if you do good. When my dad said that there will be people video taping our game I got nervous. It was Friday and it was time to leave to head to the tournament. We all got in the car and we were heading to Milwaukee. We were talking about how I need…

benefits. Let’s be honest. That cousin that seems to be in search of a job but is always dressed to the t and doesn’t meet a beat when it comes to hair and nails. He son, at the same time is still in need of the next box of pampers and is running around in just a t-shirt. Some are closed mouthed about the facts of what we know and see. Welfare is very controversial subject. For some it’s a permanent life style and temporary side step during a time of hardship for others. Welfare is used by all…
