relax. Some barriers for my behavior change is if I have to study and sit for a while and not do as much walking as a would on regular days. Sometimes I have a lot of work to do and just sit in the library for hours, which is usually when I do not get as many steps. Also, if I do not need to go to main campus that could also be a barrier. Most of my steps come from going to campus and walking to and from different buildings. Since I know it will be challenging when I have to study or sit for…

When you stroll into an amusement park you should notice crowds of people and long lines. You should hear screaming, all the rides and pitchers pitching sales, right? Not in my case. The sun had just risen as we pulled into the empty parking lot with only the sight of the band members unloading from the yellow school bus. It was a very crisp morning so we waited in the warm car until they let us in. We finally were allowed to walk in and listen to eighth grade band perform their melodies. As we…

when I see the exact opposite. The sheer panic of being that confused freshman scared me out of doing what I should of done and ended up hurting me in the end. I was facing a building I didn 't know the name of, I started to panic, so I started walking. I wasn’t going to turn around and go back into the building to look like the confused freshman I was to get my mind in order. Therefore, I turned right at what I now know is Magruder and headed towards the library. Once there, I still had no…

in situations when am doing something new. She looked me square in the eye and said I looked beautiful. I told her I didn’t need to hear that, but on how to calm my nerves down that were eating me up inside. She told me that it was super easy just walking up the stage and getting my diploma, and that she was going to be there the whole time. Her advice she was giving me didn’t help me at all, until she notice I didn’t have any makeup on. I was so done, and stated that that’s how nervous I was, I…

t was my last day of work at the Play Cafe, I woke up in the best mood, knowning this decision I was moving forward and bettering my future. Lauren, my manager, walked into work in a bad mood, for her she was losing her assistant manager. That night the play area was going to be open late for my going away party. It was also the day my younger sister, Courtney, was going back to college for her junior year in North Carolina. Which meant most of my family member 's were going with her to help…

Evermore What are the first thoughts that come to your mind when you think of a near death experience? Imagine being in the car with your family and the wagging tail of your dog who is happily sticking his head out the window, everything is perfect, nothing could be better, but then CRASH! Everything shatters, all you can remember is seeing your family dead on the ground, a warm bright light, the paramedics asking your name, and everything else is blank. You wake up in a hospital bed with no…

seemed everyone at the park in eyesight was eating or drinking a cold refreshing beverage. I too felt parched, so I purchased a bottled water from a short black man, he seems to have rubbed the hard part of life his clothes were un-kept and his beard sticks out like pepper light on a Christmas night; I couldn’t help but notice the long scars at the side of his face extending to the corner of his mouth, I thought to myself that this man must have been a criminal at some point in his life, if not…

Sitting behind the steering wheel of my dad’s ‘07 E350 black Mercedes, I trembled in trepidation. My mom sat next to me in the passenger seat trying to calm my nerves, but I was still as anxious as an antelope getting chased by Lion. You ask where I was? In line at the DMV to take my driver’s test for the third or fourth time now (I’ve lost count). See I’ve had my fair share of driving complications ever since I got my permit. As I pulled forward in line, taking care to avoid making my turn too…
