Ever since I can remember, I was always the stoner kid. Before I even knew what weed was, ignorant kids labeled me as a pot-head. My baggy skater boy clothes, my Scooby-Doo like hair, and the classic rock blaring from my headphones all pointed at me smoking weed. Well, at some point in my high school career, this stereotype became a reality, and I made some unwise choices that would follow me the rest of my life. One of these decisions was bringing pot brownies to school. It all started…

suffering, struggling, and walk past them without a glance is terrifying. People are caring less and less every day. This disinterest is the root of evil. As Elie Wiesel said, “To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.” If we are not condemning sin, we are condoning it; if one…

Imagine two sets of exact opposite people going shopping together. For example, an ENFP and ISTJ goes shopping with an ESFP and an INTJ. Does it seem chaotic? Good, because it is. The situation I described above is the Ross family shopping experience. My mom is the ENFP, my dad is the ISTJ, Madisyn is the ESFP, and I am an INTJ (when I’m around my family). Let me tell you, when we shop all together, it is quite an ordeal. Before we even get in a store, our shopping experience is a mess. My…

Before several weeks, I watched a very interesting social experiment video on YouTube. A tester who walked on street pretended very hungry and asked random strangers for a piece of pizza to those who were eating pizza. Those strangers’ reactions were kind of same; they said that they were hungry too and could not share any their piece of pizza to the asker. After that, the tester found a homeless person who wearily sat on ground, and gave some piece of pizza to him. Twenty minutes later,…

The differences between them was the Holocaust lasted 12 years while slavery lasted for 246…

3 Days Minus 2 I woke up to a loud, metal sliding noise and quickly came to my senses. At first I thought “Where the hell am I?”, but then it all came together. I looked around the room to see 12 people either disoriented or still asleep. The lady in the uniform called out “Jude, lets go”. I got to my feet and that’s when I first noticed I felt like I was about to puke. I felt like my head was about to explode and when I went to rub it, I noticed my arm was absolutely shredded. It…

The red brick road leading up to Memorial Stadium was built in the early 1900s and since then has done nothing but erode, causing huge pot holes and cracks on both sides of the street. When I went for an analytical walk to investigate in detail the condition of not only the red brick roads, but also the sidewalks around the village and Abel/Sandoz residence halls, I discovered many problems lurking in the cement. First, concerning the red brick road, I noticed places…

For example,The declaration of human rights and the declaration of independance. Most teenagers nowadays are worried more about real world things for example their human rights. If someone were to ask a random teenager what their human rights are they probably wouldn't be able to name of more than 5. Lots of people view this as a problem because we are all human but we have no clue what our rights are. Another reason this novel should not be taught in school…
