What 'Mundane Moments' From My Life Might Make Great Essay Material?

Guys, I don’t think this question is joking. I think this is a serious question. If you’re looking to write an essay about a mundane moment of my life, you might as well use my whole life. You will fill up 6-8 pages easily. Hell, if you want extra credit, you could probably push it to about 15 pages. Except when teachers ask for 6-8 pages, they mean it. They’ll dock points if you go over. That hurts when you’re so invested in the writing material you’re given. ...

Being In Love

I think there’s multiple interpretations of this. Contrary to what is typically socially acceptable, the feelings you have for someone don’t have to be always romantic to be considered ’love’. I don’t even think you have to have intentions of dating them or actually be dating them in order to consider your feelings love. I think having a general feeling of care for someone can count as being in love. It’s exactly as it’s phrased. You can just be really good friends. Just don’t make it weird by making it look romantic. It’s not necessary. Adoration, worshipness. They can all be friendly feelings of affection that can be considered love. ...

Side Effects of a Digital Life

Why do anything when you can sit on the couch chill on Netflix all day? The digital world has changed us for sure. Glued to Facebook and Twitter to keep up on the latest news of friends and celebrities. Statistically increasing the number of ‘selfie’ related deaths each year. I mean, we killed a dolphin when everyone wanted to take selfies with it. Too busy trying to get fans on Vine and that stuff with Snapchat… still don’t get it. ...

What If The Internet Wasn’t All Anonymous?

Think about it for second. No more 10 year old trolls hiding behind their keyboards on YouTube or people free to say what they will in the comments section of The Washington Post because they have an anonymous account. Your account name online is your first and last name. That is it. Will you still comment the same way you would if you were anonymous? Probably not. Though let’s think of it this way. Facebook is a perfect example of this. You like a Facebook page and you comment on it. Your name is out there with your comment. Are the people there, fully knowing that they are exposing themselves to potential backlash, writing in the same way they would if their account was anonymous? Tough to measure. ...

PT Week Six 2016 (FINAL)

I finally made it. End of the road. Physical therapy is now over. I’ve taken all I’ve learned to heart. Truly another learning experience. As I had mentioned in week one, my expectations were low and I was right to set them low. History showed PT did not work to its full potential and honestly, I don’t think it did here either. My leg feels at about 70%. I’m only just starting to run again, but mixing it with walking and doing it all on turf. The pain is neither getting worse nor better at this point, so the only thing left to do is try running and continue exercising and strengthening the muscles. ...
