Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Loss of innocence: 33 of 36
Excerpt from a fictional story about the rape of a Vestal Virgin It's too soon, but already I'm finding it difficult to breathe. There's no point to panic, I tell myself, because there is no escape. Fear left me with the sealing of my fate, the sealing of the heavy stone door that blocks out all light and sound from above. I... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: People we miss: 69 of 74
I never realized how much she meant to me until I sat next to her on her deathbed, holding her hand and trying to find the words to say it. At home, sleepless, I'd go over in my head all I wanted to tell her and somehow there just wasn't the right words to let her know. I couldn't find what to say, so I would just sit there ... More..
Education > College Life Christmas 2007: Gift ideas for commuting college students: 13 of 13
As a commuting college student who knows very well how strapped for cash most college students are, I'd like to offer some ideas of what to give for Christmas.

Romantic is questionable, but it was definately interesting. I was never really one to give a lot of thought to how I'd be proposed to, and in a way, that made it all the more surprising. I planned a surprise trip to Cleveland as a Christmas gift, to see a Lakers- Cavaliers game. John's favorite team is the Lakers, but I cou... More..

Our bodies are designed in such a way that they store fat, vitamins, and minerals in our cells and tissues, mainly for the reason of having them when they are not otherwise available. The average person has enough body fat to survive for weeks without food. So how does it possibly make sense that one can logically lose any s... More..

Style & Beauty > Hair Care Product reviews: CHI Ceramic Flat Iron: 6 of 6
I am by no means an expert when it comes to hairstyling, but if you want an honest consumer opinion, here it is.
