“Don’t hit! Don’t hit! Don’t hit!” “BAM!” A few hours earlier my stomach was hurting because I was laughing so much. Every few months, the crew at the Pizza Hut where I worked through high school has a card party or movie night. I still go to them. It was a good night, complete with… Read More “BAM!”
I would like to tell about my Thanksgiving Week. My family spent the week in the Great Smoky Mountains. As we normally do, we rented a cabin a mile from the main strip, but still secluded in the forest. We got there Tuesday and the adventure began with the winter weather advisory. We knew it… Read More Thankful for Thanksgiving
You know that I couldn’t endure Black Friday without having a few “What are this?” moments. I love Black Friday. You get deals on deals on deals. Not to mention, you get to almost forget your manners for one day and it’s nearly acceptable. Let’s see. Where to begin? I entered the insane asylum that… Read More Black Friday: What Are This?
My birthday was Sunday and it was quite the unique experience this year. I went home and celebrated with my family over the weekend. They cooked me enough food to feed a small army and not a single item was healthy, take-out, or related to ramen noodles… at my request. I came back to school… Read More Happy Birthday to Me
I’m home for the weekend and today I visited a small, country pub about a mile from my house. It features “home cookin’” that includes everything from catfish to spaghetti. It’s best known, though, for its greasy cheeseburgers that cannot be beaten. The restaurant’s name is “The Deli.” Actually it’s officially called something else. Over… Read More Cheeseburgers and Cigarettes
Sorry I haven’t really posted much these last few days, but this has been the mother of all weeks. I am literally exhausted. I’m involved with a program called Relay for Life, and I have been since I was really young. It’s an organization where people raise money for American Cancer Society and then gather… Read More Long Week
Hello, world. Sorry I haven’t posted much during the last few days. It’s been a little crazy. Speaking of crazy, you know what else is? The weather. I absolutely love autumn. It’s my favorite season. I love how the leaves paint a new masterpiece to be marveled upon each day. I love the crisp, breezy… Read More Falling Into Fall
Everyone has that one friend that cannot be quite for the life of them. While whispering in your ear they might as well say it normally because everyone around them can hear what they’re saying. There are also the people that have voices that naturally carry. It’s not like they’re trying to talk loudly but… Read More Hush Hush
Perhaps my craziest “What Are This?” moments happen within the most unappealing part of college… the public restrooms. They’re not as bad as you’d think. Although, sharing bathrooms with fifty other teenage guys is not exactly the best part of the college experience. First of all there is cleanliness. I would like to personally thank… Read More Flushed Away
I recently had to purchase chalk for an organization on my campus. Needing specific colors, I wanted to go somewhere that had a wide selection so I wouldn’t be forced to buy the cheap variety packs and, therefore, be stuck with a surplus of unwanted oranges and yellows. My friend, Nicky (a character to say… Read More An Adventure to Narnia
