"Touche." We both laugh as the playlist loads. 'Fall for You ' by Secondhand Serenade starts playing through the speakers, I do a happy dance in my seat. "Wha-" Ash starts but I reach over and hit him in the chest. "No. Sh." Then I start belting out the lyrics like my life depended on it. I can feel Ash 's eyes on me so I calm down a bit but still continue singing. By the time the song ends, we 're a couple lights away from Jake 's. That stupid, over-played, new Adele song comes on.…

Anytime a molester is portrayed in a movie or TV show, it is almost always an old family friend, priest, or father. They gain the trust of their prey, usually a young girl or boy, through gifts or saying they will babysit the kid. Then the adult starts to ask the kid to touch them in the special place, saying something along the lines of, “Don’t worry. This is a good touch.” The kid doesn’t realize it isn’t a good touch and continues. These are usually the face of a molester. But mine was the…

the ages of 18 and 34. The participants listed subjects that would possibly irritate them and then they were to listen to music for ten minutes followed by sitting in silence for ten minutes. Participants were then asked to choose music from their playlists to listen to with half picking hardcore music and the others choosing calm and relaxing music.

I remember a night when I decided to head into the TCU Recreation Center to get an extra workout in. I had so much pent up energy that I just had to get it out. So, up the stairs and to the stationary bike I went. These weren 't just any ordinary bikes though. These were the bikes that make the ride virtual- you could choose courses in the desert, through the mountains, or even short sprinting races if that suited your mood better. The resistance and incline increased and decreased based on the…

big name in a city like Dar, but it felt loose on me, drowning me with its baggy sleeves and modernity when I really just wanted to fit into what was smaller but too unfamiliar and torn to be comfortable. Pulling out my earbuds, I flip through my playlist for a song I can fall asleep to, eventually settling on “27” by Fall Out Boy. If home is where the heart is... Dawn arrived after I had barely gotten a couple hours of sleep. Bits of last night’s dinner conversation had revealed that we were…

When they hear the word, they go into a different state of mind and try their best to ignore the fact that the word has been said. “Four out of five teens who attempt suicide have given clear warning signs,” yet people are committing it mainly because of abuse, bullying, low self-esteem, and much more. Teenagers and adults…

While most films offer a sort of distraction from reality, musicals are often a utopia of wealth and happiness (Belton, 2009). Through dazzling song and dance, they make routine look like pageantry and loneliness feel like individuality. Even the most conservative of musicals transform the everyday into a spectacle, transitioning dramatic tensions into a melodic fanfare. Singing liberates the characters to express themselves in a way that mere words never could, giving them a freedom from the…

Every era is different from the one that follows after, each one creating its own impact on the society. Each and every person have their own perspective on what the 90’s was like; some remember that it was a time where people were fervent about their passions while others had an aversion to all of the change that was occurring around them. The 1990’s was the era that changed the rules and social standings of the minority creating a new way of life. In order to gain insight on the youth of…
