The Other Guys

Melanie, Violet, Summer, Mark, Travis, Justin and myself, America, have been friends since freshmen year at Guelph University in Guelph Ontario, Canada. Every year we promised each other that we’d go away for reading week, but as the years went on none of us had the time or energy or money to go anywhere, we all just wanted to stay local, and sleep in the comfort of our hometown, Guelph. As senior year was approaching and the thought of all of us going our separate ways, we decided that we’d…

you thought it was gonna be tough! Just Kidding! There are other options that won’t get you 5-20 before parole. You just need to be the woman he wants to commit to. Get this right and you are in it for life. I didn’t say that to piss you off, but you’re the one thinking things are good between you and your partner so why is he dragging out a proposal. I’d bet you’re pretty sure you’re marriage material, right? You may already be, yet most guys will tell ya that if it 's all good like you think…

I have my key, you guys can go, and I'll come home when I can.” I tried to compromise with her. “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO EAT? WHO WILL LOOK AFTER YOU?” she was worried at this point. “I'll eat the extra soup and I can look after myself, I'm not five.” I said, annoyed to the fact where my mom thinks I'd need a babysitter. She didn't say anything, but hung up the phone. Before I wanted to head home, Emily and I went to a couple more houses. As we were walking back, my other friends called.…

cheater is someone playing sport and they decide to forfeit the game for the other team to win. When I think of the word cheater I imagine someone cheating on his or her significant other. While the dictionary has the right meaning, however, my definition of a cheater is a person being secretive, emotional, and also sexual. The first meaning of a cheater is a guy or a girl being secretive to their significant others. What make someone that is being secretive a cheater is them talking to…

campus. I was bullied by a person of the opposite sex. This happened over the period of seven months, it gradually got worse before it got better like most problems do. Now, today this person and I have acted like it never happen. We say hi to each other all the time and he sits with us at the table in ding rather it is at lunch or dinner. I am almost 23 years old and this person is right around my age. So being older or way younger was the not the problem. The problem was that I was a special…

the objective story of what was going on. They realized that the other person was the way that they were for a reason. It made it easier to accept one another when they learned that watching patterns of behavior, communication, and relationships of their parents had an enormous impact on how they interacted with each other (Observational learning). This realization helped them both see that it was circumstances that made the other act the way that they do, rather than who they are at their core…

I come from a divorced family. I have hateful parents, not towards me, but towards each other. I can’t stand it, the way they look at each other, the way they talk or act towards each other just irks me. I don’t blame my mother for ditching my father, who could? He was a dirty old, good-for-nothing, scumbag. Since he has left us, he hasn’t even given my mother and I a second thought. Since the divorce, I usually go to my father’s apartment on the weekend. The only reason I visit him is because…

is one of the major formulations people use to keep society running in a respectful, safe, and proper way. In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessarily of action (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999). In this paper, I will describe my observations of how various people…

Observing a social place can be tricky because when they’re aware of your presence, which is everyone I observed, they start to act kind of different. Like after the girls notice I was looking at them, they stopped checking on their face. I saw this guy eating Panda Express and he was trying to use the chopsticks, but he noticed I was staring so he stopped using it. It was super funny because he couldn’t use the chopsticks at all. Like he was holding it completely wrong trying to pick up the…

when she moved two hours away in 5th grade, they no longer got to see each other. However, they always went to Camp Bugnee together, and always stayed in Cabin 4. Then, Olivia and Sophia came into the cabin and silly stringed Elise and Caroline. “Ahhhhh!” the girls screamed. “The pranks of Cabin 4 have begun!” said Olivia in her most chiefly voice. Caroline: During the first days, everyone was getting to know each other. Once they were all were…
