This is a parody of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell-tale Heart” True! — angry — very, very dreadfully angry I had been and am; but why will you say that I am unintelligent? My environment had stripped me of my natural brilliance, and I never wished to commit my crime. It was, rather, a strokeContinue reading “First Guest Post: The Tell-Tale TI-84”

Inspiration To Work Hard
The reason for everything that you do is: the future. You want a better future right? One that’s as stress-free, care-free, easy, and fun as possible. You want to be successful at what you do and love it. So:
Baby Steps
“You should do it,” he urges. “Show them who you really are.” My voice trembling; “I’m not sure if I’m ready to go that far. The timing’s not right; it’s overdue; it’s too early.” “No more excuses,” he says, his smile all white and pearly.
When did you first realize that life is short?
It happened to my sister and I when we were less than ten years old. It was past midnight, and my parents had gone to a business party. We were home with my grandparents, but they had already gone to sleep.

As we bid a forlorn good bye to the long days of summer, life isn’t all that sad, because we’re transitioning into autumn.Ahhhhh…finally. I love summer. Don’t get me wrong!

When we were kids, we dreamed of being the most popular kid in school. Now, it’s different. Being hipster is now the new cool. BUT WHY? I ask myself this each and everyday.
A Favorite Piece of Clothing
The Kenya shirt! When I was in elementary school (I can’t seem to recall what grade I was in) the way our public schools functioned for Field Day was that each class chose a country to represent for one special day at the end of the year, where the kids ran rampantly outside under theContinue reading “A Favorite Piece of Clothing”
What My Desk Thinks of at Night
Night One: I think today was a good day. Pretty productive, I might say. She came home, slammed the heavy backpack right next to my left cabinet on the floor, and only watched 30 minutes of randomness on Youtube before she opened a new tab and started her Spanish homework. She only took two half-hourContinue reading “What My Desk Thinks of at Night”
