After I picked this assignment, I started to go through my camera roll, looking for a beautiful picture from one of my travels. I thought I had found the perfect picture, a picture of an island in Thailand, but then I realized that that picture was not just “another day” I had traveled to that […]

For one of my Writing Bank Assignments I chose a four and a half star assignment entitled, “Monologue Of A Household Tool.” At first I thought it would be a breeze, but quickly realized its harder to bring a household item to life. I wanted to keep it lighthearted and have the object pertain to […]

I knew almost immediately that I wanted to use this prompt as one of the “80’s Themed” writing topics because having dinner with my guest would be a dream come true.

This assignment was called Emotional Lyrics which involved choosing an emotion and 3 songs that evoke that emotion and then write down why the songs evoke that emotion. The emotion I chose was excited because I like songs that get me excited. And since this theme is about the 1980s I picked songs from 1980. […]

“Hey, do you see that?” “Yeah, Marmot. Helens is not doing so well.” “Yeah. It’s not like her to get so angry. “It’s like she’s fuming today. Her head is smoking quite quickly.” “Yeah, Marmot. I don’t know what’s going to happen but by the looks of it, the two-leggeds don’t seem to be too […]

I see dead trees. However, that is the only thing that’s dead, if you don’t count the college students. The sun is as bright as it can be. It shines over me, however, I can’t feel its warmth due to the cold air that blasts my face when I walk across campus. The grass is withered […]

For my last writing assignment for this week, I decided to When and Where would you live. For this assignment, I wanted to connect it to our theme of the 80s. This is when I decided I would think about what my life would be if I grew up in royalty in the 80s. I …

Dear Mom, I can’t thank you enough for the amount of love and joy you have given me. You are my best friend, my role model, the first person I go to when I’m upset, and the person that I always call just to tell you how much I miss you and random things that …

from https://allthatsinteresting.com/80s-pictures#1 My mom was always weird. Every time she saw an advertisement on the television, she HAD to get it. It did not matter what it was…bug killer…workout equipment…toys for us kids even if we didn’t want them. One day the mailman delivered a package for her, and she excitedly opened it up at the breakfast table. I’m glad my dad captured this moment for us, with a camera

Dear 10 year old Kayla, Never give up your dreams. If there is one thing that you should know it is that sometimes it’s impossible to please everyone no matter how hard you try. You are STRONG. You are SMART. You are BRAVE. Don’t waste your time hanging on every word that others say, follow …

There was a part 4 and 5, but unfortunately, those students have taken down their websites, their stories lost in time… In fact, Part 1 and 2 were also lost, but fortunately, the creator of part 3 re-uploaded them to his website. Let the story

For this assignment I chose to relate it to our class 80’s theme. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in one of my all time favorite songs. I remember my Junior year of high school I was in a female jazz choir and we did an acapella version of this song. It really just makes you …

We live in such a beautiful world. Yes, there may be broken things around us but there is something so simple about being able to walk outside wherever you may be and look at the trees or the clouds. I recently just booked an Air B&B in the great smokey mountains for spring break with …
