In order to finalize their discord, they sought to kill each…

into school being the first openly gay male at a private, Catholic school. While I was freshly “out of the closet”, I reached out to one of my mutual friends, Ryan. Ryan was one of the only openly gay males I had known, and I wanted to get more involved in the LGBTQ+ community and the fight for equality. Through common interests, I had become such close friends with Ryan, to the point of him being comfortable enough to share personal details about himself with me. During our weekly, therapeutic…

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” In the video “The Dangers of Willful Blindness” by Margaret Heffernan she starts to talk about whistleblowers and she said, “They're hugely dedicated to the institutions that they work for, and the reason that they speak up, the reason they insist on seeing, is because they care so much about the institution…

Unrequited love can possibly be one of the most excruciatingly painful things one can endure. In high school my best friend John was “in love” with Jaylene Martinez, a mutual friend of ours. I was his “wingman” so I followed his story fairly closely. When I look back at the situation from a social psychological standpoint as a “wingman” I could saved John a lot of heat break. The story starts like most cliches. Guy sees girl, falls hopelessly in love but girl has a boyfriend. John was in love…

back in 2005. She was working at Smokey’s Dog House as a waitress after school. I would go in Smokey’s Dog House with my friends, who were also friends with my wife, while there we would all get hand dipped ice cream and just converse.

Since my wife and I had several mutual friends, we would hang out often and got to know one another well. Once she graduated high school, we started talking and…

After a brief period of time the matchmakers leave with hopes that their friends are a match (Baldacchino 2008). Parents also take part in a form of sogaeting where they either hire a matchmaker or find a family friend that helps them find a partner for their single, typically older, child (Baldacchino 2008).…

and the average number of degrees separating any two members of the group (a member-pair). The experiment assumed both that none of the members of the group knew one another prior to joining the group and that there were no connections, such as mutual friends, outside of the group. To solve the problem using graph-theory we generated a graph that contained each group member as a point and each friendship as a line between the member-pair. The algorithm we used to compute the result is the…
