Why does this feel almost bittersweet? I don’t know if I ever felt so sad and so proud at the same time. We made to the end of College Composition 1. I like to think of my journey through college as walking down a path. You come across big rocks on your way […]
“I sit here up in my office listening to the sounds of the kitchen being torn apart with power tools. Bob Falkowski, my significant other, is downstairs working on the remodel of our kitchen. His work is not clumsy, for he is a master in this trade. A man of 37 years who you could […]
What’s better than two nuggets? Three. While diving into some great arguments, I wanted to point out one that relates to me, quite simply because I am sprinkled with them. Stevie Pelkey chose to write their argumentative essay on tattoos and how they are viewed in the workplace. I love this topic, because I have […]
Video games! Let’s talk about video games while we are on the hunt for an interesting argumentative topic. One way or another, I can bet you have enjoyed a video game or two in your time. Whether it was on a console, computer, in an arcade, your cell phone, or even a handheld console. […]

“This could partly explain why window views of landscapes, research shows, can speed patient recovery in hospitals, aid learning in classrooms and spur productivity in the workplace.” I can agree with the statement that window views in a workplace increase productivity. I work in a call center for a large insurance company. Before working from […]
“It’s not your weight that determines your health,” says Stinson. “It’s your lifestyle.” I resonated so much with this essay from Kathiann Kowalski; All my life I struggled with my body image, always comparing myself to my favorite celebrities and my friends, quietly competing with them to be as skinny as I could be.
