On Borrowed Time

reason why it took 20 years? Well, he came across different obstacles such as being trapped on Calypso’s island for 7 years (which, by the way he wasn’t entirely unwilling to stay.) Another stop was at a cyclops cave, whose name was Polyphemus. This time, Odysseus and his crew spent the weekend, faking Odysseus’ name to be “nobody,” waiting to drunken Polyphemus, then stab his eye out, taking some sheep with. Because that’s what you do with people you haven’t met before. Then again, Polyphemus…

to their lives somehow. My favorite people have always bounced around, whether they’re real or fictional. I play numerous of video games, listen to almost every genre of music, and read several different types of books, so I change my mind all the time. As of recently, one of my favorite figures has been Max from a game called Life is Strange. The game itself is beautifully designed graphically and plotline wise, and it really makes you think. To sum it up, the plot is that Max is a senior at an…

dollars or one dollar. Right? You 'd never want to play. Mind-wandering is quite an amazing ability. It allows us to escape the present, but it also seems to cause unhappiness. Yet, according to Killingsworth 's study, "forty-seven percent of the time, people are thinking about something other than what they 're currently doing." Living in the moment is also an important part of minimalism…

that when one faces problems or challenges, the most efficient way to approach them is to tackle them head-on rather than trying to ignore them. It also explains that there comes a time in our lives when certain things become inevitable whether it be good-byes like in Miles’ case or times to move on from the past. At the time of his statement, Miles was saying his good-byes to his mother and father before moving away to Culver Creek High School. This quote connects to my life because while…

Suppressing painful memories can bring about temporary relief. Once that relief subsides however, the raw emotions that remain are as powerful and real as the moment in which they were experienced. Rather than dealing with these uncovered emotions, the natural response is to lock away these memories in a vain hope that they will not resurface. Exposing the open wounds of memory and extracting moments from the past bring with it the former pain and anguish. In the most dire cases, even the…

A lot of people keep calling happiness “relative.” But it has been said so many times that people just glaze over it and don’t truly understand happiness, they think it has to do with something of how you are doing in your life, specifically, with your successes. Comparing your successes such as an education, relationships and most…

with their school. Also, you can discover new interests and passions by joining. Many teachers encourage their students to get involved because it can be beneficial to the students. I will take the advice of student leaders by focusing on managing my time while being a part of an organization. The two organizations that I would be interested in are the Art Club and the Pep Squad. Before being a part of these two organizations, I would have to know the mission and advisors, think about how…

We were all sent by tables to go get our food. The food was great, which was no surprise since it was Famous Dave’s. By this time I had met family of my own that I didn’t know of and more of Brandon and Tina’s family. Everyone cared so much for every single person and made sure to make a conversation or get to know them all. Everyone danced and sang and had the best time of their life, especially the bride and groom. It was definitely not the most traditional first dance, but it just made the…

Scrum is a type of Agile used for software development. Scrum can be seen as a type of cross-functioning group that bounces workloads back and forth in order to complete the project in the allocated period of time. Whereas then you have Agile which is about delivering value in a short period of time, encouraging talent, teamwork, leadership and response to feedback, this is in turn a very important role in Scrum, because it is used as a tool to effectively and efficiently high quality projects…

Interactions between individuals, particularly in the healthcare setting, can be under stressful and challenging circumstances. Consequently, the demand for effective communication as a nurse is crucial and therefore, we as students must take time to learn in detail about communicating within the healthcare setting.
