Serendipity

Many people go on vacation each year. Most people like to go gamble and stay at luxury hotels. The desert is a chill environment and the nice breathing climate it is a perfect place to a dip in the pool. One hidden gem is the food and how much it is. Las Vegas, NV is a desirable for many people because of its warm climates, fresh food, and amazing attractions. Las Vegas is the spot to go. The tallest observation tower is in Las Vegas and it is tall as 1,149 feet, the name of it is The…

The homecoming queen is chosen out of the pool of five girls. The big announcement for queen is made at serendipity on Wednesday night. Ashley Hardy is the 2015 homecoming court freshman maid.

An epoch of injury, particularly an athlete, ultimately can be a period of detrimental agony not only physically, but also mentally; it turns into a back and forth battle of mental strength rather than brute physicality. Athletes often define themselves off how they perform on the field, court or rink. It builds their reputation. It builds confidence. And when an injury takes that away, what do they define themselves off by then? The athlete is no longer defined by their skills on the field or…

codified and shared electronically; the bringing together of knowledge that is typically distributed across and beyond the organisation; the coordination of activities and reduction in the duplication of activities; the generation of the potential for serendipity through chance encounters; and the development of common understandings and the building of trust – vital for the transfer…

Alabama’s Neuroscience program was from a letter a woman I barely knew claimed was mine. This letter (Sent after a 2012 Big 10 Expo) had fallen into the wrong hands, thanks to the mailman and had travelled great distances from mailbox F to mailbox G. Serendipity I thought, after warily accepting my truant mail (lest it was another bill), as said letter offered a unique program tailored to fit my interests before my search for graduate programs in neuroscience ever began. From my youth (spent on…

After the old man comes home, he told the boy:” They truly beat me.” (Page 122) This may seems contradictory to what he said before. However, accepting the reality is what brings him upon the masses. It is always easy for people to claim victory, but it’s really hard to accept the fact when one he fails. After the fierce battle with the sharks, Santiago accepted that the sharks have beaten him. He fights to the end, using all his strength and he has done his best. He could have proudly said I…

In the passage presented from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald presents the ditsy but bright Daisy and the naïve but ambitious Gatsby as an unlikely pair, mutually falling to destruction from their own superficial infatuation with each other. Gatsby’s counterfeit wealth and façade of leisurely composure aide in bringing out Daisy’s shallow love for Gatsby. In illuminating this contrast between the two characters, Fitzgerald utilizes weather imagery as well as the symbolism of…

The Apocalypse, also known as The Rapture, The End, The End of The World, The War between Angels and Demons, or the final destruction of the world can be described in the biblical book of Revelation. For centuries the apocalypse is included in the teachings or imagery of several religions. The apocalypse is usually revealed as a disclosure of knowledge of a dream or vision from a prophet to prophetic, And it plays out in different scenarios or interpretations for religious communities. Religious…

Yet instead of immediately meeting up with my hosts I felt the need to spend some time alone with the city, visit familiar sites, retrace old steps. After literally bumping into two very surprised friends (because Boston is where such serendipity happens) I journeyed out to my undergrad school, University of Massachusetts-Boston. It was nine o’clock by the time I wandered down its quiet Harborwalk and found a bench to mediate with the bay’s moonlit waters by. (UMass Boston is a seaside campus)…

A Work In Progress Bella Winter was born on March 3rd, 2001. She was born and lived her early life in a small town outside of San Francisco, California, called Pleasanton. Soon after, she moved to South Carolina, and finally Florida, where she currently resides. This is her journey so far. It was a rainy morning on March 3rd, 2001 when Bella was born, and just like in the movies, when her family left the hospital with her for the first time, it was a beautiful, sunny afternoon. After living in…
