A Better Friend

Can You Be Honest With Your Friends My sister is a person whom one might define as socially awkward. While neither of us possess the gift of tact, I have become slightly more adept a maneuvering unfamiliar social situations, whereas she avoids them wherever and whenever possible. We both have the same handicap: that being that we don’t possess a filter. Whereas most people know that it constitutes poor manners to point out a hanger from a perfect stranger’s nose, we feel it is our civic duty

kitchen and explained to me that my test scores were “exceptionally high” and that I would be accepted to go to a new school with a program of other “highly capable students” such as myself. I accepted, fully knowing that I’d lose all of my current friends, but confident that I would make new ones. A little too confident. But now, surrounded by people as shy and introverted as I was? I

In 2014 my life changed drastically, and I have not been the same person that I was that short time ago. It all began with my big secret coming out and continued to roll into a giant snowball, up until I finally found the sun to melt it away. I went through a long depressive phase and then along my journey I found peace again. In 2014 my family had found out about the sexual predator we had in the family. I thought it was only my secret about my Uncle but, turns out it was my sisters too. We went

The book A Separate Peace is written in the main character’s perspective. His name is Gene and he isn't very good at sports. Meanwhile his best friend Phineas excels at sports. The book begins with Gene as an adult at his old school Devon. He then begins to talk about about how much he has grown since those day by stating, “ I had more money and success and “security” than in the days when specters seemed to go up and down them with me.” At first I was confused why the author put quotation marks

A vast majority of people have had a friend or two- a good one, at that. Someone they could trust and talk to. Someone who granted them that spark of childhood and happiness that fueled their games, their talks, their smiles, their personalities. Some friendships grow strong, to the point where they are unbreakable, even after devastating events that seem to tear them apart and hold them down. That's exactly what happens in this story- “The Bridge to Terabithia”. An emotional yet realistic and compelling

Personal Narrative Here is a not so very brief timeline of how I became friends with my best friend, Madilynn Carbajal. Madilynn, she also goes by madi, more commonly is my best friend, without a doubt. At first I’m like, woah, she’s a basic white girl with a mexican last name. She is a white mexican, her mom is white, and her dad is mexican. Ben, her dad is a really cool dude, Rochelle is too (but in lady form, not dude form) Madi has a twin brother Mayson, and he’s a bit of an idiot. Madi dances

conditioned her into stronger and an undoubtably driven woman. Nevertheless her strength and phenomenal work ethic did not come easy to Helen, it took years upon years to bypass her anger. Personally I don’t think Helen ever stopped evolving into a better friend and person. If I had to define her most apparent change in her life, I would choose her transition from being uneducated to having the ability to communicate her thoughts and feelings. When Helen was a child communication did not come easy to

managed to discharge at her despite being no more than a stone statue. A twisted horn filled with holes from when Tirek had attempted to steal her magic. When she coughed, it felt as though something inside her had been jarred loose, but she knew better; the unicorns might’ve been able to remove the crystal spear that one of Sombra’s soldiers had impaled her with, but they could not reverse the damage its enchanted head had done to her. It felt as though her own insides were trying to devour themselves

Why Friends is a Better Sitcom Than Seinfeld While the 90s notoriously brought us a myriad of classic sitcoms, there are none as infamous as Friends and Seinfeld. The two are often compared due to their simultaneous airings and similar audiences, but there is no doubt that Friends is the better sitcom. In the world of television, there exists an elusive and uncommonly used tactic that draws viewers in and makes a show golden. This tactic is rare, so rare that Seinfeld obviously has not heard of

Imagine moving from Los Angeles, California to a small town in Wisconsin and not knowing anyone at the new school. Anyone in this situation would want to make friends that would accept them in the new town. This is the position Levi, one of the main characters in Elizabeth Eulberg’s Better off Friends, is in when he starts middle school. Macallan, the other main character, is the person that befriends Levi, and they become very close very fast. Being a new kid from down south, many people stereotype
