Now, sweet she was affectionate, well-tempered, and lovely, but as we say in my house, she was a “hot mess”. This dog had vampiric teeth that stuck out from under her top lip accenting her white…

and his friend, Jason were messing around, throwing paper airplanes at kids, and causing problems. They were in study hall, and had already finished their homework for the day, although they weren’t happy about even having homework going into the weekend and Ben was even less happy because he had just gotten a detention for the next 3 school day, and his birthday was on the 30th, the last day of the detention.

Because off all this waiting, it’s easy to lose the day-to-day importance somewhere. But, after a while, everything people have been waiting for comes to an end, and what people are waiting for isn’t the end. The biggest ending of them all is inevitable: death. And even though it is something that…

Music is an immense part of people’s lives due to its malleable characteristic to fit the needs of everyone.

In fact, I believe it can be used to connect a person’s life to the sounds. For example, the song “Time to Pretend” by MGMT happens to encapsulate my story as a growing teenager perfectly. In itself, the song is about…

Love House Animal Rescue Center is a personal set of animal relief agencies, and The founders and volunteers rescue abandoned cats and dogs as their responsibility. We now have about 15 disabled dogs waiting for treatment; one of them will face the danger of blindness and the other one had to be amputated if it lacks the necessary medicine. Unfortunately, we have limited funds so we can not buy all the necessary drugs and we almost have no money to pay for the veterinarian. So please help our…

Smothered by the damp heat and hiding from the rain under trees with a damaged dirt bike—how every teenage girl dreams of spending her summer vacation! When my dad proposed a plan for the two of us to spend a weekend riding our dirt bikes through Allegheny National Forest, I imagined riding through scenic trails with no trouble at all. At the onset of our adventure, my dirt bike suddenly stopped moving and I heard a discordant rattle. No matter how hard I rotated the throttle, the wheels went…
