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.

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…

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.

Curiosity kills the Cat It was a very hot and dusty August afternoon in 2015, the sun had come out with a vengeance. People were scrambling in and out of the Montego Bay bus park. Those who waited to board taxis and buses to their respective destination, hid under umbrellas and the rustic iron shelters to seek refuge from the sun’s merciless rays.
