When I wake up in the morning, my thoughts gradually gather as my dreams slowly seep to the back of my mind. I'm aware in my half sleep state, not yet ready to get out of the warmth and comfort of my bed, but also realizing I'm no longer asleep. I wake up naturally, my body has its own internal clock. Same time every morning, I'm wide awake. Sometimes I try to convince myself I need an extra five minutes of sleep, but the reality is that when I'm awake, I'm awake. I begin to move, slowly…

Students wake up and instantly make a cup of coffee, or grab an energy drink.

Whether through music videos, writing, or art, women are always judged more critically for their expression than men are. Often times, men make…

Wake up again. Rise and shine. Rinse repeat more like it. Put on more clothes, its cold, she used to warn that I’d catch a cold not wearing a coat. Used to. Past tense huh. Is that where we are now? I’m acknowledging that she’s gone that’s a start. I think I’m wearing enough of hoodies layered and layered upon themselves. Once I start to sweat I’ll have enough of courage to get in the car. I don’t remember the last time I sat in the driver seat. I had to look for the keys feeling the heat of…

“Riley, it’s time to wake up.” Topanga sing songed as she entered her daughter’s bedroom. A muffled response came from beneath the purple comforter. “You start school today; you should be excited.” Topanga said. “Not going” a more clear answer rang from under the covers. “Of course you are going” Topanga insisted and pulled the comforter off of Riley and the bed. “Get up, or I’ll send your father in here.” Topanga warned before she headed downstairs to go start breakfast. The thirteen year old…

If I were to wake up to a zombie apocalypse I would figure out what places in my own home were weak spots and reinforce with whatever materials are available in the current place(being my house and garage). After I have reinforced my house I would find whatever I can use as a weapon, whether it be a stick or my dad’s .45, anything hard and sturdy could be used as a weapon. Knowing I am not the healthiest person, I would have to get beefy and would start to work out doing push-ups and running or…

David Hume produced a description and analysis of the relation of cause and effect and our use of it in reasoning about matters of fact. Hume’s analysis was able to wake the Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) from his so called dogmatic slumber. From the awakening of Kant comes the questions Why did Hume’s arguments wake Kant from his dogmatic slumber? And what is Kant’s response to Hume’s analysis and how successful is Kant in his response to Hume? In Hume’s 1746 text An Enquiry…
