What would happen if you penned an entire record between the hours of 12 and 4 in the morning? We’re about to find out, because Melbourne five piece The Paper Kites literally crafted their sophomore album twelvefour when the rest of the world was asleep. “The album is a concept record, based around a theory that an artist's creative peak is between the hours of midnight and 4am,” says frontman Sam Bentley. The result is a collection of 10 tracks, mixing the introspection of the night with…

Through Good and Evil In Reading Lessons, Scott Carpenter states “Structuralism is a multifaceted group of theories with varied and disparate goals” (27), explaining it is a collection of many theories and patterns which are not actually focus on a single goal but can be studied from any point of view. Structuralism doesn’t study the original purpose of creator but focus in the structure of the text or movie. Carpenter illustrates that “just because an author meant to communicate something in…

Growing up I was always taught that hard work, preservation, motivation and drive would excel and get me far in life. Outliers almost paints a different picture. Outliers states how luck might have to do with one 's success, such as succeeding and becoming a high ranking sports player. Outliers also mentions how Asians are better at math, because they practice more and if we all contributed at least 10,000 hours into a hobby we enjoy, we could be the best. All these possible reasons as to why,…

Well here I am, twelve years later after high school finally knowing what I want to be “when I grow up.” My experience with life has been quite the roller coaster with lots of ups, downs, and loops. That all brings me to how my experiences will push me to meet the goals I have for my academic and future career. I was not sure what I wanted to do for a career after I graduated high school due to little guidance for all the big decisions at age eighteen, and that is why I decided to “take a year…

'Flex my own muscles? ' he though, letting the example of the dirt falling through his fingers settle to his core. "I think I understand, I just don 't know how she will react when I won 't listen to her. I 've always done whatever she asked of me." taking a kneeling position, the bangle around his wrist slips away into wisps of softened light. The light reformed into a small ball of light that Kizen reached out to grasp, his fingers hovering over it as it spun freely inches from his palm,…

It is crazy to think that an intangible object can almost define your relationship with someone. A relationship meaning your parents, a sibling, a family member, a good friend, a teacher, a spouse or significant other, or even someone you do not really know. There are a lot of components that go into a good healthy relationship; there is communication, respect, affection, responsibility, and transparency. But there is also something called trust, without it you might as well not have a…

This is only a dream. This is only a dream. This is only a dream. This cannot actually be happening. This is not real. You are not awake. This is a nightmare. Wake up, erica. Please, oh god, please wake up. My eyes are rain storms and my heart is tangled somewhere in my esophagus. I stack my legs, tuck my head into my lap. I place my hands to my hair and begin to pull. This is a nightmare. This is not real. But my cheeks are raw and chapped, and every speck of makeup has been washed from my…

I believe that counseling is such an underused and misunderstand field when it comes to students and adults. Counseling is a large field that with commitment, time and effort, I believe that most if not all problems can be worked out. With a counseling perspective on ELL students over all mental health, we can tackle the emotional side of learning a new language.
