Mrs. Mallard was notified by her sister and her husband’s friend that her husband has been killed in a ghastly train wreck. Mrs. Mallard weeps while her sister and husband’s friend…

Everyone had that one show you watched or remember watching all the time, these shows catch young children’s attention with their highly stylistic visuals, loveable characters, or respectable morals that you could take into adulthood; sometimes all three. While most people watched shows like SpongeBob, or Ed, Edd, and Eddy, the show I most remember watching was more adult oriented, all possible jokes aside the show that affected my childhood the most was Seinfeld. Seinfeld was an American sitcom…

The night before the big day to go to school, I was in my room in my green bed, laying down and staring at the walls and everyone else was in their room or in the living room watching TV. That nigh is really hot and it was raining outside with really loud and there were thunders outside. That day I could not go to sleep because I was thinking about how my school would look like. If I would like my classmates and if I would make any friends that I could understand and if they would understand…

1. I dislocated my kneecap one day at my old school. It was lunchtime, and the crowded cafeteria was full of noisy teenagers. I was sitting at one of the small round tables at the far end of the room with my friend Cheyenne. Finished with my lunch, I got up to return my tray and felt an unnatural popping sensation in my right knee as I stood from my chair. As my weight shifted I felt my kneecap pop out of place, slide over, and lock into place on the side of my leg. Immediately I fell back into…

stars. They burn fast and bright, then for no real reason, or for reasons we can’t understand, fade forever. They say space might be infinite but that means infinite stars, too, if you think about it. Some have to collide. Some have to burn out to make room for the next. It’s freshman year and my mom helps me move cross-state from Colorado to Nebraska, unload my stuff in giant rolling laundry carts into McGloin Hall, my home for the next nine months. McGloin is supposed to be just for…

In a typical home sits a family with no other intentions than any other house on any other street. Inside contains two parents, two children and two pets all living in regular rooms. In between the dining room and living room are three white and blue bowls with little black dog prints around it, that sit on a hardwood floor. The first two bowls belong to my other dog and for water but lastly the third bowl with a small chip in it, belonged to a dog named Sammy, named after the great Sammy Sosa…

He is really going to be cremated. I stood at the bedroom door, then I listened. His voice was muffled and I only heard his voice. It sounds like he was in the bathroom instead of the room. As quiet as I possible could I turned the door knob and slowly opened the door. No Justin, he was in the bath room. I wanted to listen as long as I could without him or…

Pinterest for ideas on decorating, crafts and repurposing. There are certain items I am always on the lookout for, such as milk glass, which reminds me of my grandma, and cake plates. Of course, there are other things that catch my eye. Most of my living room is decorated with items that are second hand. This allows me to change things around and not spend a lot of money. After thinking about who I am and not only what I buy, but the process I go through when I buy things I’ve concluded that…

In There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury, there is a house that doesn’t even know everyone is gone and continues as normal. It burns down shortly after this. In Wind on the Hill by A. A. Milne, they talk about the wind and where it goes, how you follow it and no one knows where the wind goes. While both show the unknown, I think the theme is You can know where things go but not where they go from. The theme is shown at the end of Wind on the Hill when they say where the wind comes nobody…

the informal rites of passage include frosh as it changes a student’s status as a new university student (Flynn, 2016, Lecture 6). George Mead’s concept of the “game” applies to residence students as they have to know the rules and regulations of living in residence and abide by those rules which includes knowing their responsibility, their roommate’s responsibilities and how other residence students should abide by the rules of the residence community. The generalized other is developed…
