Summer

term, most will agree that Quiet YA refers to the underdogs. The books that need more attention and fly under the radar. Maybe this is what the term was supposed to mean when it was initially coined. But I’d like to take that one step further. The Summer of Chasing Mermaids, to me, was Quiet YA. I can’t talk about how well the book is doing in the market, or the response it’s garnering with its intended audience, or whether or not it has been under appreciated. I can, however, talk about how it…

The words of a song can shift your emotions to make you feel contentment and merriment but it can also make you feel worthless and insulted. In your essay “Songs of the Summer of 1963… and 2013” you speak of the difference in music in the year of 1963 and how it was gleeful and uplifting and still is but you believe the music of this generation is so discrediting and malign. In my opinion, I agree this music can be extremely offensive to many people and it is saddening that we have to come to a…

I went to the closet and grabbed this enormous yoga ball and wedged it between two corners. The first few times went good. Then I decided to stand up…

Each year, the students of my middle school dreaded only one thing about summer: “summer reading”. Not only were the required books notoriously dull, they were also difficult to relate to as a twelve-year-old with problems typical of adolescents. As an avid reader, this disappointed me. I had no issue with the written assignments about the reading that needed to be completed, but each year I was left wishing the book had been more interesting. When I was in seventh grade, this dry spell was…
