    It all started around five am, we all started to pile up into the jeep. While everyone stumbled around like drunken zombies, I was wide awake and pumped up. I grabbed my blanket, my pillow, and my snacks and hopped in. Our first stop was up at Casey’s for drinks, so that we could begin our four hour long journey to the camp grounds. Jess turned up the radio, I stared out the window and listened to the music for the first 30 minutes of the ride. We had packed the jeep the night before. I had put…

    a vital thing for children to have growing up, especially in the 21st century. I also understand the disadvantages of having too much screen time. I think that it is up to the parents' discretion the exposure to screens that their child has, taking into account the childs age and social abilities, among several other factors. Personally, I shut off my electronics about thirty minutes before going to bed, because I have learned that if I am on them up until the minute I go to bed, I will have a…

    follows what has previously been seen, including capitalization and word breaks. It seems like a pretty average length for a Dickinson poem. This one as I interpreted seems to be part of tetralogy, starting with "I'm Nobody," proceeding to "They shut me up on prose" and "Hope is the thing with feathers," and coming to a conclusion with this piece. When reading "I'm Nobody" she is seemingly speaking to the next person that reads her poem. She's like a drifter trying to find her place, in way,…

During the fight or flight response, the frontal lobe, the area of the brain that controls our personality expression, decision-making and complex cognitive behavior essentially shuts down. In that moment we are truly experiencing a "one-track" mind. This is…
