Cheers to another resolution I couldn’t commit to. Putting a stop to procrastination has become a physical and mental insurmountability to me.

I have been working now for about a year and a half at a Grocey Outlet. When I first started working there I was really nervous. I didn’t really know anyone there. It took me a while to understand how everything worked and to memorize all the codes for the cash register, but eventually I got the...

Having just finished a phone conversation with AT&T, my mom has informed me that, although we were promised to have our internet service back two days ago, it has now been postponed to two days from today. What frightens me is not that I will be without internet for four days—it’s the idea of...

The term “running” has taken on a new for iPhone users here at washington. The uber popular app “Temple Run” has students addicted and their focus being drawn to their phones. I’m definitely addicted myself because I like the competitiveness and the constant drive to beat my last score. What’s...
