Everyone at some point in their life has had the dream where they are falling, but they never actually hit the ground. This dream is symbolic of life. Regardless of how far you fall you never hit the ground. A friend of mine, currently in pharmacy school, confides in me about how he wishes that he had done things my way, the right way as he calls it. Nevertheless, I did not grasp what he meant so one day, I implored him to explain. According to him, the “right,” way is by not failing classes the

Each day we all experience things that are extraordinary and sometimes unforgettable. Yet it's how we let those experiences impact us individually that makes us each unique. An experience in my life that changed how I acted, thought, and felt was the first time I volunteered at my church during their summer “scamp” sessions. The “scamp” sessions aimed to make the lessons correlate to things the kids would do during summer camps. Serving at one of these session allowed the year round volunteers to

Destiny, it’s an odd concept to wrap your head around. Often its questioned if one creates it or is it already written. After meeting this young lady, her life merged with mine in a way that reassured this belief. Ten years ago, I met her for the first time as she chased down the school bus making it just in time to walk on with a head full of long black hair and a puffy gold jacket that reminded me of the 80’s. Pretending to look carelessly out the divided bus window, I would secretly wish she would

Being a college student who is taking 18 credits this semester as well as working 15 hours a week, I experience multiple stressors every week that I try my best to deal with. Two stressors I have dealt with the past two weeks are struggling to manage my time and arguing with my boyfriend. The past two weeks I had a lot of assignments due as well as a major test and a quiz. I realized it was a stressor when I got assigned our extra credit paper that was due the day before my major exam. I was already

but don't because it's not in the norm of society. In the book “All Souls” there are numerous outlaw figures but many movies over time have been centered around the outlaw theme which I will talk about because it shows how much society loves a good Robin Hood tale. The biggest outlaw in history, Jesus Christ, is the most popular example of how much we love the outsider. The story of how God sent his only son down to Earth to realise mankind of their sins, whether religious or not, is a well known

Robin Hood Robin Hood was a skilled man who stole from the rich to give to the poor, which some people viewed it as criminal, while others considered it heroic, whose story would later become manipulated throughout time and history. The earliest possible English record of Robin Hood shows up in legal records referring to criminals as “Robehod” and “Rabunhod”. These were common characteristic descriptions during that time. The first literary mention of Robin Hood appears in the fourteenth and fifteenth

times, Modern heroes, such as Robin Hood, can appear very different from classical heroes, like Odysseus, but they will always be very skillful with a weapon yet suffer from hubris. Therefore, Homer’s The Odyssey, the 13th-century Rifson ballad, and Pyle’s The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood depict that Odysseus and Robin Hood are similar in the skill of archery to outwit each of their respective enemies and hubris, a flaw which directly aligns with glory. Odysseus and Robin Hood are similar in many ways

It’s not every day that you’ll have a concert that starts off with a fire alarm and ends in a fire alarm as well. With the Brock U Encore! Concert “The Canadian Jazz Scene” presented by John Sherwood, on February 10th, 2017 that is exactly how it went. You could say that it was letting you know that the night was going to be an interesting one ahead. Alongside John Sherwood, his co-musicians were Kevin Turcotte (trumpeter), Patrick Collins (bassist), Terry Clarke (drummer), and Mike Murley (saxophonist)

In 2013, Robin Thicke, a relatively unknown but well-seasoned R&B singer, found major success in his upbeat song “Blurred Lines,” which featured the big-named artists Pharrell Williams and T.I. (McKinley). The hit song broke records by spending 16 weeks on top of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Song chart, its popularity earning it the title of Billboard’s Song of the Summer (Ramirez). The uncensored video on Vevo features three female models wearing nothing but shoes and nude-colored underwear dancing

because of a flaw, or multiple flaws. Due to this downfall, the tragic hero can impact the lives of many people. Robin williams can be defined as a tragic hero. He was an actor beloved by all from his many comedic acting roles, such as those in Mrs.Doubtfire and Hook. He seemed to be the best example of a perfect person, but became a tragic hero after all of his hardships and addictions. Robin Williams was a great actor and he helped wherever he could, but suffered with his flaws of substance dependence
