Like You

“Totally like whatever, you know?” So like when I talk to kids my age, they just all like never seem to know what they are talking about anymore, you know? We have all at one time met or talked to someone that talks like my example above; it’s hard to make sense of what they are saying and they seem like they are unsure of what they are talking about. In the poem, “ Totally like whatever, you know,” author Taylor Mali says, “ In case hadn’t noticed, it has somehow become uncool to sound like…

“Who among the gods is like you lord? Who is like you- majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” (Biblica Inc.). ”In the name of God, the Merciful, the compassionate. Say (O Muhammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, an equal to Him is not anyone.” (Islamicity). “ Your Gods and my Gods- do you or I know which are the stronger?” (The Mark). Who is God? Most cultures seem to have one. Is anyone truly been able to prove…

In a quote by Maya Angelou, which states ' ' If you do not like something change it. If you cannot change it, change your attitude ' '. These simple but powerful words stock with me ever since I first read it. As I reflect on the many factors that directed me towards the path of a Doctorate in Pharmacy, I could not help but incorporate this simple quote into my life endeavors. When my family and I moved to the United States from Cameroon (West Africa), my parents set the stage for this quote.…

kissed the horizon and the birds chirped, Rainsford's eyes fluttered open. He hadn’t felt more rested. He looked around and the room and was quickly reminded of what had happened the night before. There was Zaroff’s blood on the wood floor. It looked like it still hadn't dried yet. He shook his head and made his way out the bedroom door and to the kitchen. His left forearm was aching with pain. He pulled up his pajama sleeve and turned his arm over. He saw a huge gash on his forearm. About an…

me one of the cups, filled to the rim. “Do you realize how many people are here? There are people here that I’ve never even talked to before, how did they all get in?” she continues, practically yelling in my ear. “Well you know Jay, all he cares about is his party reputation. He’s lucky that he can play football, if not he’d be kicked out of school in a heartbeat.” I roll my eyes. Jay is one of those guys who is just looking to get in trouble. He likes to be the…

I like the quote "Expect to be called a stand patter, but don’t be a stand patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don’t be a demagogue," in the speech given by Calvin Coolidge at Massachusetts. It might have a different meaning but to me, it means not to be what people call us. This is a common problem in the world today. We live by what people call us; our every steps and breaths are determined by people. A few weeks ago in my Chem class, a friend of mine asked me a question. She said,…

shorter. We ended up getting there at like 8 or 9 the next morning. All we wanted to do was hit the slopes, my brother Bodie and I already knew how to ski, so we just went and did our own thing. While my Cousins were in a class to learn how to ski. Once my they got done with the class my cousin Beau and I went to the lift so he could practice so more on getting on and off…

give me like 2 more minutes," I pleaded, running around my house like a crazy woman. "Fine," Regina said, rolling her eyes and plopping down on my couch. Ok I just needed to find the perfect shoes to go with my dress... I went to my room and looked under my bed for my plain black flats. Since I was going to a party, I was trying to avoid my feet hurting from heels. "Got it!" I yelled from my room and walked to the living room where Regina was now standing. "One million years later you 're…

that school, I’ll come to your house myself, and shoot all of you“, I ended the call, and stood there for a couple minutes, stunned by what just happened. And ran to mom and dad’s room. “Um, m-mom. We got a phone call “, I stuttered. “I’ll be there in one second honey.“ she didn’t understand. She couldn’t see the fear in my eyes, or the way my hands were shaking. She couldn’t read me. “No mom, I already hung up.“ “Then why do you need me Phyllis?“ I didn’t want to repeat it. Who would say…

Resume 36 While reviewing resume 36 my first of impression of the resume was that everything was spread heavily from the left to the right. I feel like when an interviewer is looking at a resume the person is usually looking for the key points for the job description. Which in this case everything is very scattered and hard to look for the key points. Also another thing I saw within this resume is that the person did not stay consistent with their bullets or dates. For example, in the skills…
