Train wreck

Belive it or not, I was actually quite excited to start school. This summer had been pretty sucessful, considering I had been all over the place. Mexico, the west coast, etc. Also during this summer, I had broken up with my boyfriend, (a complete train wreck, that's completely unnecessary to get into.) So that left me confused with my feelings. My ex had a bestfriend, who had over the past year, became one of my very close friends as well. I had constantly thought about David, and how fun it…

America does not need to be endangered even more. Right now in America, 50,000 people per year are dying of drug overdose.

Over the past few years I have used my understanding of this subject to help me be the best I can be. The example that comes to mind when thinking of my experiences with literacy…

“The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.” Exerpt said by American author Paul Auster. Flannery O’Connor’s short stories establish how the theme of control over powers one's thoughts and actions. Throughout O’Connor’s stories, characters often possess a moment of grace which the author defines as: “In [O’Connor’s]…

A Personal Reflection Reflection is one of the most effective learning tools that anyone can utilize. It is through reflecting that people can learn from their mistakes and change their habits. By reflecting, people often create new and spontaneous ideas. As my first quarter as a college student is coming to an end, I have the opportunity to reflect upon all of the unique things that I have learned.

Self-neglect isn’t the syndrome many twenty somethings learn about after they’ve stayed up too late, too many nights in a row or when they’ve consumed too much alcohol in one sitting, or even when they ate all that food at McDonalds at three in the morning. In fact, most people self-neglect in one way or another, whether they smoke cigarettes, eat unhealthy foods, text while driving, fail to visit the doctor regularly, drive while under the influence, along with many other behaviors one may…

Like Babylon, it’s ambitious, trying to tell a 3-hour story in 43 minutes. But unlike Babylon, which could at least fall back on the watching-a-train-wreck-thrall of Mulder’s hallucinations, My Struggle II is boring. How can a story about the end of civilization be boring? It has the ingredients of a successful episode. Where Carter goes wrong is his separation of Mulder and Scully, a fatal error that…

Nick describes himself as a young man with a wandering mind. He was told from an early age by his father, “whenever you feel like criticising anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had” (5). This advice stuck with Nick into adulthood and he has reserved his judgements ever since. Nick traveled East because he wanted the world to be in uniform.
