Waking up with a headache from hell, I collect my composure and grab my belongings in a hurry. I have a flight to catch and I can’t be late to the airport. Another all-star weekend in the books. This year? A low level professional basketball ball player. I know, not that impressive. My plan was to meet a superstar, but somehow ended up in this bed. He is still sleeping like a baby. Some women in my shoes would go through his belongings and look for their own payout but that’s not me. I do give…

It was a morning like any other, I woke up and looked out my window to see the old rusted piece of metal some like to call the Golden Gate Bridge. I always woke up at 6:30 sharp to make sure I had enough time to read over the papers that were due in a few short hours. As I carry along with my morning routine I realize today was partner day in biology, the day I dreaded most in the semester, mostly because my partner usually makes me do most of the work and the parts they do,they mess it up.…

5 Then next morning, I decide to change my routine. One, eat a small snack. Two, stretch. Three, take a jog around my neighborhood. Running, I’ve discovered, clears my mind and calms me down. It gives me a good start to the morning. Four, return home quietly and take a shower. Five, have a small conversation with Mother while eating breakfast. Six, go to school. I do this religiously for a week. I no longer put makeup on in the morning. Now that I’ve come out to Mother, I don’t feel I need to…

is today! “We are leaving TODAY!!” I cried out. Out of the bed I flew, quickly changed and ready to get into the car to drive to the airport. Whereas my parents were slowly getting ready, claiming we “had time”. Dad caught me as I was hurrying around the house. “Slow down honey! We aren’t leaving for another fifteen minutes!” “Fifteen! Can’t we just leaving now? We have everything! And Kari is ready even!” My little sister gazed up at dad as if confirming what I had said. “Why don’t you…

As I was laying in my bed, I knew something was not right. When I looked at my alarm clock, I realized that I overslept an hour. I jumped out of bed to quickly get ready for school. By then I knew that this would be one of the longest days of my life. I never thought as I walked out of my house that morning that I would be scared to come back through it that afternoon. I walked through the doors with my best friend as the warning bell was ringing. Audri said, “I forgot about my test in…
