My parents are not quite as computer savvy as I am, so they asked me to research flights for them online...
Oh the technology. I can hardly keep up. So today I come across to my boss like a complete idiot...
I have always had a number of friends who work in the box office for our university’s theatre department...
Taking out a payday advance may be putting a band aid on a surgical incision...
Italy
is one of the great wonders of the world. An amazing country with lots of sights to see and things
to do, no trip
to Europe would be complete without seeing
I just heard an alarming statistic about robberies. Did you know that a robbery occurs every 4 minutes, usually during the day...
One of my best friends has taken to taking the oddest jobs since starting college. They are not all completely strange; in fact, some of them are relatively typical, like waitressing, as she currently does, at a local bar and restaurant...
That friend of mine (the one from high school, my high school best friend, that is) who’s getting married soon...
My sister and I used to like to give joke birthday cards. You know, like a “Get Well Soon!” card, or “Happy 7th Birthday, Birthday Boy!” to a 18-year-old girl...
I had to give a presentation last semester as the culmination of a class that I was taking...
The other day we’re sitting in a restaurant, all in a group out to eat after a show, and someone starts talking about a video on YouTube that we all have to see...
I still say that I hate cell phones. It makes me feel strange that everybody in the world has to be so connected nowadays, at all times. It’s as if everyone’s just…uncomfortable with solitude, anymore...
My high school best friend (with whom I’m no longer close) is getting married...
Since I was a young kid I have always wanted to go to college and get a good education. For the same amount of my life I have been concerned about money in and ever increasing wave that is now building in to a big stressful monster that I will meet when I graduate...
Breaks are a bizarre time in college life. Everybody looks forward to them, and they have (especially spring break) a reputation about them: break is when you’re supposed to let go, go all out, travel somewhere exciting, take a little vacation from your busy school life...
I can not believe I just won the lottery. In a million years, I never expected to pick the lucky numbers and walk away with millions of dollars...
It is interesting how you go to college for four years and then open the door to embark on a bright future, but trip over your pile of debt...
I knew a guy who moved away to
Florida and waited to get his
driver’s license until getting there – actually, he
waited for everything...
Möchten Sie einen Geschäftsbericht oder eine Bilanz

Pressemitteilung auf Japanisch veröffentlichen? ...
A
number of my friends were in a period play last year and had to wear
heavy makeup. It's funny when boys have to go to CVS hunting for things ...
Let's say
you're driving down a highway. You're passing all of these road signs.
You're passing mile markers, green signs with the name of some city or
other lettered in white, billboards for something-or-other. Let's call
the city you're approaching Houston...
Tea is one of
those things that everybody buys in large
quantities and nobody uses. Almost all college apartments have tea
stockpiles....
The
most recent time that I visited New York City was the summer
after my senior year of high school. This is strange, because I have a
lot of
connections to the city: a good friend of mine who now lives in
Pittsburgh is
from Brooklyn, another close friend recently moved to NYC...
The
things we’re teaching the kids we’re working with,
or what
we want to teach them, eventually, is how to pretend to be somebody
you’re not...
I
never thought I would be any teacher’s pet. I’m not
that kind
of student. At least in high school, it’s the outgoing kid,
the class clown,
who the teacher tends to buddy up with: somebody who seems a little
more needy,
shares personal stories...
When
I was a kid and in love with horses, I wanted to live in
the country, and have a horse, and a farm, and a pack of dogs or so,
and a
vegetable garden...
It's almost definite: I'm headed to Augsburg, Germany this summer on a theatre project...
When I was a little kid I always used to tell my parents that I wanted 99 babies with 99 bottles and 99 blankets and 99 cribs and – I could go on ad nauseum. But something shifted...
OK, so: I’m not the world’s biggest geography buff. I actually don’t have a problem admitting that. Being homeschooled until tenth grade, I missed those crucial middle years of public schooling during which they teach you most of that general geography stuff. There’s a lot of places I’ve never heard of and even more of whose location I’m completely unsure...
I used to conform nicely to the stereotype that girls are insecure about the way that they look. Up through freshman year of college or so, I was pretty deep in it. Not only wasn’t I skinny enough or pretty enough, it seemed to me that all of my female friends were. My sister, too. I thought I’d never stop comparing myself to other women. It led to a lot of issues, particularly when it came to relationships. I was always ready to sell myself short...
