Would Not Drink Pool Water

The only time I ever smoked a cigarette was one of the grossest experiences of my life. I was hanging out with a new crowd, who all smoked and drunk alcohol, and I remember wanting to seem fun and “cool,” which can be monumentally important to a fifteen year old. So, late one night, while [...]

A Balanced Plate

They say that a child’s favorite foods are the things his/her mother craved during her pregnancy. Well, my mom craved strawberries, macaroni and cheese, and carrots, and these are, as you may have guessed, my favorite foods to this day. And I think this the menu I would choose for the rest of my life [...]

The Eyes Have It

There is a painting, Eleonora di Toledo col figlio Giovanni, that hangs in the Uffizi galleries in Florence, Italy. The portrait seems fairly simple, a picture of a Medici’s wife with her youngest son, both dressed in their finest and giving the impression of great wealth and power. But, if you linger on Eleanora’s eyes, [...]

Lessen the Load

I am actually fairly happy with how my life is right now. I am happy pursuing my degree, education, and I can’t imagine what I would do without that in my life. The biggest thing that would change is the amount of financial pressure I am under. I would be more able to go out [...]

The Golden Egg

My fondest memory from my childhood is winning the “golden egg” in the family Easter Egg hunt. I have over 30 cousins, so Easter Egg hunts could easily be boring if the only goal was candy. (How do I set myself apart in such a crowd?) So, my grandparents instituted the “golden egg,” a giant, [...]

Begin Anew

As much as I am a “homebody,” I become very restless if I am confined to a single location for too long, so I frequently take off and travel somewhere on a whim. So, I think I would be unable to sit around on a beach, no matter how beautiful, for a week or more, [...]

Lend a Helping Hand

I have been a Resident Assistant for the past two years at my college. My first year, I would consider myself and average, good RA for my floor of 36. This past year, however, I feel that I was much more successful, especially in my attempts to build a relationship with each, individual resident. I [...]

Social Creatures of the Sea

If I were to live underwater for two years, I think I would want to be a dolphin. Dolphins seem to have a lot of fun as they play and frolic together in large schools. And with oceans being as large as they are, without anything else to interact with, living underwater could get very [...]
