The Blue Room

them. I can navigate the seas of my neighborhood. Everyday I wake up and walk around my house. I know every room in my house, all the walls. I know the top of the attic to the bottom of the basement. I live there with my family. Four people total with one house. There is plenty of room for use. There’s a kitchen for use to cook in. There’s a dining room for us to eat in. There’s a T.V. room for use to watch T.V. in. I have a bedroom where I sleep. There is another one for my parents and one more…

Marley floor has nearly killed me, but it’s also shown me who my family is. It’s an awful material that requires a lot of time and work to be put down smooth and look nice. It’s some sort of vinyl that comes on PVC pipes, rolled up. Taping it down is an unbearably long and grueling process. One particularly hot Wednesday night, I was moving rolls of flooring into the auditorium from the lobby. Andy and I rolled up the flooring, the stubborn plasticky devil. Laszlo, one of the most badass people…

Have you ever been to Texas? Well, this was my experience going down to Texas. The Trip down to Texas was long a solid 8 hours I’d say. It was not a very comfy ride down there. My brother and I Matthew sat in the middle seats my Great Aunt (Grammy) slept in the back the whole time. Matthew and I both had 1 pillow and 1 blanket. But I brought my snuggy. My Mom and her Boyfriend took turns driving but Jeremy drove most the way there, He is a truck driver though. The Trip just to Arkansas felt like…

“I thought and pondered-vainly. I felt that blank incapability of invention which is the greatest misery of authorship, when dull Nothing replies to our anxious invocations.” shelley This is how I feel as I attempt to pinpoint the crucial events that have made up my present day psych. I suppose I am made up differently than most students at Poughkeepsie Day School. To begin my mind floats to age three, where the mess began. I can still see the sun peaking in; it lightly brushing the creamy…

out around the age of 15. I loved that house from the scenery of the front yard to the enormous backyard. All the rooms on the inside had memories that I will never forget. I still remember which room was my favorite room to be in and had the best memories about. I’ve had up and downs in this house, but it will forever be my favorite house to live in. Even though the house was half blue and half yellow, the front yard of the house was beautiful. My mom planted gorgeous flowers…

election, the idea of changing one’s hair to fit the paradigms of society coincides with Muslim women’s struggle with wearing their hijabs in the modern world. Similar to Harris-Perry’s idea that stereotyping makes black women conform to the “crooked room,” the fear of being shipped away has women, Muslim Americans questioning whether they should continue wearing their hijabs. Both, the black women in Harris-Perry’s book and Islamic women are perpetually in a state of hesitance to display their…

The year is 2019, and America has barely survived a third world war. The background is a room with blue carpet. The walls are beige with a dark wooden boarder around the top. A long, wooden table sits in the middle of the room. At the end of the table sits President Donald Trump, turned around looking at a screen where the news portrays the current state of the nation. Enter Niccolò Machiavelli and Augustine of Hippo. Trump: [turning to Machiavelli and Augustine] Hello. Who are you? Augustine:…

Daisy Twiff lazily squinted her eyes as her small, New York terrier pranced on Daisy in excitement. The 10 year old girl was always serious, smart and polite. As usual she slowly placed her dog, Liz, down on the warm fuzzy sheets of her bed and unlocked her tiny, circular window. Then she peered out the opening and saw the sunrise stretch over the horizon. White, frozen snow lightly shuffled to the ground, covering the Earth like a large fluffy blanket. Freezing winds blew at high wind levels.…

two doors on each side, then up a ramp was the kitchen and a dining room. If you keep going straight the “girl’s room” aka the room I am staying in, was on the right. There was also a bathroom across from it. And she said to me that’s about it that you need to see for now. I went into the girl’s room to see what it looked like. I stared at all four white plain walls of the room for a while just trying to absorb everything. The room was very tiny. It had two sets of old black metal bunkbeds, one…
