The topic of Cheerleading has generated a lot of argument for the two viewpoints of…

Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. Two years ago, I was forced to make a life changing decision. After my parents got a divorce, my mother decided to move to the United States of America. This had a great impact on my life, as I had to choose between two people and two different countries. The internal dilemma of choosing…

Trolls, the new animated movie about the little dolls with the long, neon-hued hair, is the kind of movie that invites the mind to wander.This is to say it’s not a good movie, but it’s also not a bad movie. It’s reasonably entertaining, with some good musical numbers and at least one goofily endearing performance.But it’s also just a little bit all over the place, with a story that often seems like a fairy-tale greatest hits album — with all the hits covered by trolls. It’s a story assembled by…

I crawled through the open window of Harley’s apartment on the fifth floor. I suspected that he wasn't home, with all the lights turned off. Although, there was a faint sound of music playing from his iPod hidden under the pillow of his desk chair, with the cord sticking out. I only noticed that he was home when I saw a light from the crack of the bathroom door, but I didn't bother to call his name. It was normal for me to enter through the window everyday after I ate dinner, he was usually…

The students learned how to read using basal readers; they learned how to write using sharpened pencils and lined paper. Moreover, the pupils listened to the teacher’s voice and raised their hands to speak to the teacher or classmates. They gave oral book reports to the class by standing in the front of the room, and sometimes…

Einstein's Dreams is full of comparisons of time and different aspects within it. One of my favorite comparisons in the novel is the comparison of mechanical time verse body time. This chapter is beautifully described and really lays out some conducive scene. The camera would start with a split down the middle and two separate images being shown on both sides. A narrator would being to read the first lines of the chapter and a machine verse a body would be shown. Then a pendulum and a bluefish…

dedicated every free second I have to catching up on the news and finding out which Disney princess I am on Buzzfeed. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve been in the real world; the world full of people giving really important speeches and catchy music mashups. This world is weird. This world is real. And this world is mine. This past summer, with help from the worldwide web, I’ve done research on anything I’ve come across to find interesting. I exposed myself to topics I dreamed I never would care…
