Out Campaign

Now before all ye of lots of faith start casting your stones at me, just take a moment to hear me out. I’m not talking about those of you who use the phrase loosely in situations in which you have no other words. As a former Christian I understand the gesture.

People find it less stressful to eat out because they do not have to worry about cooking which can be time consuming to an already busy schedule. Luckily, everywhere you turn there is a restaurant offering something to eat.

Body identity for young adults is one of the most common problems that young adults face today. Throughout the day you are bound to see your self appearance whether that be in a mirror, reflection or shadow.

beginning of the day. I remember that specific morning was Thanksgiving day of either 2008 or 2009. I don't remember much about the morning but I can recall my mom talking on the phone a bit, then coming out and dressing my sister and I. We were still young and couldn’t properly pick our clothes out, especially since this was a special occasion. My mom knew this lady and they were good friends. She didn't have any children but instead, she had 2 huge Dalmatian dogs, one a boy and the other one…

Narrative Essay on a Meaningful Experience The drive was dreadful but it was worth it. We left Lemmon at about noon and didn’t arrive until nearly 11 PM. Our hotel was 6 stories tall, with a nice lobby, and very comfortable rooms, it was located by many cool restaurants and stores. In fact, right across the street was the largest Target store I had ever seen. Our main reason to go to Denver was to go and watch a Broncos game, a professional football game. But, we planned to improvise as our…

Allah Made Me Funny is a comedy troupe that focused on breaking down stereotypes, without having to break down others in the process. Instead of focusing on other cultures, the comedians focus on themselves: namely, their struggles and the distorted perceptions that they must contend with as Muslim in post-9/11 America. Rather seeming to complain, they show that the perceptions that they have to deal with are themselves unreasonable and, frankly, absurd. This means allows Americans both to come…

into college, I had incredibly high hopes for how I thought things were going to pan out during my college career. Socially, I thought I was going to make this huge group of amazing friends who would never leave my side, and they would be the truest friends that I could ever imagine meeting. While I do see some of my friendships going that way, some of the friends that I met at the beginning of the year turned out to be the kind of friends that I wasn’t interested in keeping. I also thought…

As I grew up I saw my mother struggle job after job as a maid for a hotel, a cook for a nursing home, and health aide who helped elderly patients. My mother countless of days came home tired and stressed out with the treatment and pay that she got from her patients. She one day took me to one of her jobs as a maid and we cleaned a house-top to bottom as we sat down to take a break she looked at me and told me that this is not the life she wanted me to live…
